Joe managed to book my car in straight away and carried out a really thorough inspection before purchase. He even sent me a detailed video of the underside (something I’d never normally get to see), talking me through everything clearly and in a way I could understand. He also gave it an extensive test drive and ran full diagnostics to check for any hidden issues. The communication was outstanding, the service above and beyond, and the pricing very fair. An honest, professional garage I’d recommend to absolutely everyone!Posted on Tomos Gwyn2025-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recently used the garage for a clutch replacement. Joe is a courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable mechanic. He explained the problem to me thoroughly, setting-out details of the work to be done, together with a cost estimate (which was a really accurate prediction). The work was carried quickly and efficiently. A major, positive service provided in the Cardiff area is that a customer’s car is picked up from their home and returned when work on the car is completed. What a bonus that is!!

Your vehicle’s DPF is a crucial component of your vehicle. It’s designed to capture soot that accumulates from diesel exhaust gases, ensuring harmful emissions aren’t released into the atmosphere.
However, over time, this soot builds up in your system and needs to be cleared through a process named regeneration.
This cleaning and regeneration process is crucial in protecting your engine’s health and longevity, and ensuring your vehicle passes its next MOT emission test.
When you notice the early signs of DPF issues, it’s crucial that you contact a trusted and qualified garage, such as Lawfix Automotive. Common signs to look out for include:
DPF warning light flashing on your dashboard
Poor engine performance
Frequent regeneration attempts
Reduced fuel efficiency
If you’re noticing any of these signs, don’t delay. Contact our DPF specialists today to get advice on what the next steps are.
Although DPF cleaning makes up the bulk of DPF issues we resolve, we also offer several other services, including:
DPF diagnostics
DPF removals
DPF remapping
DPF replacements
Regardless of the service you require, our DPF specialists can be trusted to undertake your work quickly, reliably and affordably. We won’t undertake any work until we have agreed on a price, ensuring there’s no nasty hidden charges when you come to collect from our garage.
We offer some of the best DPF Service pricing in Cardiff.
We keep you regularly updated and send progress photos.
No waiting forever. We tell you the date you can expect your car back and we stick to it.
We can collect straight from your door, saving you the stress of sorting a lift back home!
DPF cleaning and regeneration is the deliberate process of removing soot built-up inside your Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Standard signs to look out for include warning lights coming on, sluggish vehicle performance and poor fuel efficiency.
You can. However, we would seriously advise against it. Continuing to drive with a blocked DPF can seriously harm your engine system, heightening the risk of requiring more extensive repair work down the line.
Our DPF regeneration and DPF cleaning process takes between 2-3 hours. Once we have inspected your vehicle, we will be able to advise on precise timings.
Our service starts from £130 for most vehicle makes and models. We will provide a precise quotation once we know your vehicle make and model.
Yes, we can. If your DPF system is beyond repair, we can source a replacement unit using both OEM and high-quality aftermarket filters that suit your budgetary requirements.
We typically recommend a DPF cleaning every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. Your vehicle’s manufacturer’s handbook should be able to provide more definitive information.
No. However, we do offer a collection and drop-off service for complete convenience!
We can assist with DPF issues for all types of vehicle makes, including Audi, BMW, Ford, Volkswagen, and Mercedes, among others.
Absolutely. A faulty DPF will likely result in your vehicle failing its next MOT.
