Automotive veterans specialising in DPF

Ashley Engines Ltd. – the parent company of Bristol DPF Centre – has been helping drivers in Bristol and the surrounding areas solve their engine troubles since 2004. But with so few quality diesel particulate filter (DPF) services around, we set up Bristol DPF Centre in 2017 to help local motorists meet emissions standards.

Today, we’re the only comprehensive DPF cleaning and replacement specialist around, serving the public, trade companies, independent garages, dealerships and other automotive specialists!

Our commitment to eco-friendly practices doesn’t end with passing MOTs. We also do our best to clean and refurbish DPFs rather than replace them where possible. And we provide a range of services to help vehicles meet environmental regulations and lower their emissions.

But above all else, we’re dedicated to providing a reliable, transparent and personalised service that keeps your vehicle safe and ready for the road.

They save my Christmas

DPF was nearly blocked. Booked in the Monday before Christmas. They found an underlying issue with the ECU which wasn’t
noticeable whilst driving. Looked like I was going to be without the car over Christmas but the lads pulled out all the stops and had it done by the next day. ECU reprogrammed EGR replaced and a nice clean DPF. Top service and I was kept up to date throughout the whole process.
