Regain Performance With TerraClean Shrewsbury
Get Performance Back From Your Engine
Over time, the performance of our vehicles seems to fade away, and it never seems to be as good as when we first had them. Sometimes we put it down to ‘the newness wearing off‘ or that we’re used to it now.
Well, that is not the case!
What’s happening inside the engine, fuel lines, injectors and exhaust system of your vehicle is carbon is building up as a result of burning petrol/diesel, which is slowly but surely coating the surfaces you can’t see or get to easily, which in turn reduces efficiency, and saps power and performance of the engine, resulting in worse mpg.
You get your engine serviced regularly, but this doesn’t tackle the problem of carbon build-up inside the engine, on the injector tips, or through the exhaust & sensors.
A TerraClean service runs through the fuel supply cleaning everything from the injectors through to the tip of the exhaust.
You Can Benefit From A TerraClean If Your Engine Has:
Done More Than 12k Miles
Carbon build up starts to occur around this time. Using the TerraClean service will act as preventative maintenance.
Dropped In Power & MPG
Carbon deposit may be hindering your vehicles overall performance. Removing the deposits will restore your power.
Failed An M.O.T On Emissions
TerraClean helps to reduce the emissions that your vehicle omits. By using the service you can safely pass your MOT.
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
What Is TerraClean?
TerraClean is a service available via the UK network of approved service centres and mobile operators. Ace Car Care Ltd are the approved operator in Shrewsbury. A TerraClean service will remove carbon and other lacquers which build up in your engine, thus restoring vehicle efficiency, improving MPG and reducing harmful emissions
What Do You Actually Do During A TerraClean?
We will link your vehicle to one of our TerraClean machines (either Petrol or Diesel). The machine will take over as the fuel supply for the vehicle and use a highly refined, none harmful fuel coupled with the patented technology of the equipment to remove the build up of carbon from your vehicle.
Can You TerraClean Any Vehicle?
Yes, we do almost all vehicles. From a Motorcycle, Car, Van, HGV, Bus and marine engines. There are a few exceptions which we can not do, but your local service agent will confirm when you arrange to book your vehicle in. We have TerraCleaned, commuter motorbikes, family cars, Ferraris, Trucks, Passenger Buses and boats with both outboard and inboard engines.
Can A TerraClean Service Damage My Vehicle?
The simple answer is “no”. A TerraClean service is using a highly refined fuel which can cause no harm to your vehicle or any of its components. A TerraClean service will remove carbon which has built up over time from your vehicle, as well as other contaminents (tars & lacquers) which build up and deteriorate the performance of your vehicle. TerraClean is not a “fix” for a problem, it is a highly effective preventative maintenance service which will help prevent problems occuring, prolong component life and improve the efficiency of your vehicle in terms of performance, fuel economy and emissions.
Why Does Carbon Build Up?
The creation of carbon inside the engine & exhaust is a bi-product of burning fossil fuels eg petrol and diesel. The less efficiently the fuel is burnt, the more carbon is produced. The more carbon is crteated, the less efficiently the engine performs, and the cycle continues to get worse.
My Car Is Low Mileage So It Wouldn't Be Worth Doing?
A vehicle which is over 12-18 months old which has low milage may still be worth TerraCleaning, as low milage vehicles are usually used for short and stop/start journeys (such as in towns & cities) which is when an engine operates very inefficiently. This then produces arbon build up at an increased/quicker rate than higher milage engines.
How Long Does A TerraClean Service Work?
Depending on the size and type of the engine will depend on the actual time taken to carry out the service, but most take from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours to complete from start to finish.
