Ray Frank – Linthorpe Middlesbrough – Toyota Glanza TerraClean Review

Had my toyota glanza done fantastic runs like a new car now.

Have used A1 Terraclean twice, the first time on my 04 plate Vectra diesel and the last time was recently on my 13 plate Citroen C4 HDI. Both occasions the service was outstanding, a terrific difference to both cars, and amazing value for money. Bernie was both professional and knowledgeable and i wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and recommend him to my friends. Definitely a credit to the brandread more

Had 2 diffrent sets of mechanics look at my van, both diagnosed the problem wrong costing me a lot of cash in failing to fix. So i called up mr alleway at terraclean on s saturday afternoon. He came out straight away as i explained i was stranded. Within an hour he had diagnosed the problem and fixed it enough for me to get home and get the part needed in monday. Fantastic service frim a nice man that knows his stuff.read more

Bought a used BMW X3, after a week it was in limp mode, rang these guys and arrived next day, they ran diagnostics to find the fault before deciding on what treatment was needed, found out faulty thermostats were not allowing the car to regent the dpf so it blocked, he unblocked the dpf and advised fitting 2 new thermostats which I had done the same week, car has been faultless since, thanks a lot, looking forward to a terraclean to keep it in top form, 5 starsread more

I looked at other reviews and they seem too good to be true BUT... I contacted Bernie for some advice on a DPF problem expecting him to make an appointment but, based on the information I gave him, he rang back several times and we discussed a solution which I could manage myself. That's what I call outstanding customer service! I would thoroughly recommend him. Thank You Doug Shearerread more

I can’t recommend Bernie enough. Not only is he excellent at engine and DPF cleaning, he also helps identify any problems that might cause problems in the future. He’s a really nice gentleman as well, he didn’t mind me sending numerous messages about my car and was always polite and prompt with his replies. Yesterday he went out of his way to fit me in on a busy Sunday afternoon when I was having problems with my car, thanks Bernie, much appreciated!!!read more

We had our BMW 320i and 335d 'Terracleaned' last week by Bernie, who performed an Induction + Engine clean on the 320i and an EGR/Turbo + Engine clean on the 335d. Bernie noticed a misfire with the 320i after the job was finished, and suggested replacing the spark plugs, which was a good call as the spark plugs in the car weren't the correct type. Since the Terraclean / Spark plug change the car is completely transformed, with a massive increase in MPG. Motorway MPG is up from 42 to 52 and street driving has gone up from 25 to 34. It picks up speed better and any niggles I had before are now gone. As for the 335d, I immediately noticed that Turbo spool up was quicker, so the power comes in sooner and stronger. As for the MPG, it was pretty good before, getting about 48mpg on the motorway and 28mpg around town, but now I am getting about 5mpg more. I'd strongly recommend getting your car Terracleaned if you've just purchased a new, higher miles vehicle where you're unsure how well it's been looked after in the past... I intend on getting my cars Terracleaned every 2 years in order to maintain the benefits I'm noticing.read more

Cannot recommend the Terraclean service enough. I saved over £1000 on a main dealer recommendation for new DPF by having a clean which will offer me at least another 20,000 miles before needing a replacement filter. Thanks again.read more

Highly reccomended, phoned Bernie today, 05-06-17, he arrived at agreed time and, with the minimum of fuss, quickly diagnosed the problem on my 2.0lt Mondeo tdci. Problem sorted very swiftly even though it was raining and he was working outside. Knowing the sort of labour costs garages charge, all I can say is that I was very pleasantly surprised when presented with the bill. Knowledgable, friendly service at a very fair price. Thankyou Bernie.read more

Booked in today for egr and turbo clean on mk4 golf gt 130 as turbo was overboosting. Bernie came checked turbo and fault codes and said it only needs a normal clean. He was a pleasure to deal with and is vastly experienced he explained in detail every check he done. Excellent result no over boost, throttle response and engine runs smoother. Getting 6 mpg more aswell. Excellent serviceread more

DPF removal and clean on my Ford Focus 1.6TDCI Due to my poor MPG (43 average) and the car going into limp mode i spoke to Bernie, he told me the DPF would be totally clogged with ash.

Bernie came to my home and did a clean on my 2010 Seat Leon FR. The process was straightforward from a customer point of view. Additionally Bernie helped me with some fault diagnosis on my turbo whilst he was here; potentially saving me a large amount of money had I taken it into a garage. Highly recommend A1 Terraclean, customer service at its best and Bernie is a genuine guy with a good bit of crack about him.read more

A1 TerraClean came out, arrived early and had the faulty sensor replaced rapidly. 5* service and no messing about. Polite, friendly and genuine service I would strongly recommend and will be using again in the future if the need arises. Thank youread more

Well I had looked in some detail of the TERRACLEAN SERVICE so last week decided to get my local agent Bernie to cast his magic wand over my 2004 SPRINTER VAN with 250.000 miles on clock...even though the engine was mechanically sound it struggled to achieve 65mph on roads. WOOOOOOWWWW .... MY VAN IS NOW DRIVING MINT !! PULLS LIKE A TRAIN...I CANT BELIEVE THAT AFTER ONE HOUR HOOKED UP TO BERNIES EQUIPMENT THAT THE TRANSFORMATION IS JUST.... STUNNING !! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE.read more
