Diesel Particulate Filter Service
DPF Filter Cleaning in Lansing and Across Mid-Michigan
Hands-on DPF cleaning that restores your filter instead of masking the problem.
We inspect every filter ourselves and turn most jobs around in 24 hours.
What DPF Filter Cleaning Really Fixes
A clogged diesel particulate filter chokes your engine, kills your fuel economy, and eventually triggers a derate that parks your truck. DPF cleaning removes the ash, soot, and buildup that a simple blow-and-bake can't touch, restoring flow without the cost of a new filter. A trusted DPF filter cleaner backs that work with a complete DPF service, checking the whole exhaust path instead of just the parts that are easy to reach.
Owner-operators and fleet managers across Lansing, Detroit, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor send us filters from semis, school buses, pickups, tractors, and construction equipment because a new DPF can run thousands of dollars and still fail inspection down the road. We've been doing this since 2008, and most of our business today comes from repeat customers who already know the difference between honest truck DPF cleaning and a rushed job.
Whether you're running domestic diesel trucks on daily routes or managing a mixed fleet of heavy equipment, we treat your filter with the same process every time. No shortcuts, no automated black box, just a shop that inspects, cleans, and tests each unit by hand.
Our Process
How We Clean Every DPF, Start to Finish
Most competitors blow it out, bake it, and send it back out the door. We go further with a process built over more than 13 years in business, and every step is done by a real person watching that filter the whole way through.
-
Step 1: Thorough Inspection
We start by checking the substrate, housing, and sensor bungs for cracks, melting, or damage before anything else happens. This tells us whether your filter is a clean-and-return job or needs bung repair or replacement first.
-
Step 2: 14-Step Conditioning Process
Our exclusive conditioning process breaks down baked-in soot and ash layer by layer, something a standard blow-and-bake simply can't reach. This is where contaminated DPF cleaning and oil contaminated DPF cleaning jobs really need the extra steps most shops skip.
-
Step 3: Hydrocleaning and Flushing
For filters soaked in oil or coolant, we run a dedicated hydrocleaning and flushing stage that pulls contamination out of the pores instead of just loosening surface buildup. Antifreeze soaked DPF cleaning in particular depends on this step, since coolant residue hardens fast and resists a standard bake cycle.
-
Step 4: 3-Stage Testing Protocol
Before your filter goes back on the truck, we run it through three separate tests to confirm flow, pressure, and structural integrity. If it passes, it goes back to you within 24 hours, ready to perform like new.
Know the Warning Signs
Signs Your Diesel Filter Needs Cleaning
Most drivers notice a DPF problem long before it shuts the truck down. Catching it early with a diesel filter cleaning service saves you a tow, a missed delivery, or a derated engine in the middle of a job.
- Dash warning lights for DPF, check engine, or reduced power
- Noticeable loss of power or sluggish acceleration under load
- Poor fuel economy compared to normal routes
- Frequent or failed regeneration cycles
- Excess smoke or an unusual exhaust smell
- A filter that's been in service longer than your normal cleaning interval
If any of that sounds familiar, don't wait for a full derate. Call us before you buy new.
Why Choose Us
Why Lansing Area Fleets Trust Us With Their Filters
Holly and the team built this shop as a true mom and pop operation, and we've kept it that way on purpose. Every filter that comes through our door at 35 N M-52 in Webberville gets handled by the same people, start to finish, no call centers and no automated systems standing between you and the person doing the work.
Fleet managers and owner-operators keep coming back because we treat a single pickup truck filter with the same care as a commercial fleet job with a dozen units on the schedule. Here's what that looks like in practice.
-
Hands-On Every Time
We don't run filters through an automated system and hope for the best. Every DPF and DOC cleaning job gets personally inspected, conditioned, and tested by someone on our floor who's done this thousands of times.
-
Fast Turnaround You Can Plan Around
Most filters are cleaned and ready within 24 hours, which matters when a truck fleet or a construction crew is waiting on that unit to get back to work. We know downtime costs you money, so we move fast without cutting corners.
-
Built for Repeat Customers
A lot of our work comes from the same fleets and the same drivers calling back year after year. We'd rather earn that repeat business with honest work than chase one-time jobs with a cheaper, faster process that doesn't actually clean the filter.

Common Questions
DPF Cleaning Questions From Fleet Managers and Owner-Operators
How long does DPF cleaning take?
Most filters are back in your hands within 24 hours of drop-off. If a filter needs bung repair or extra hydrocleaning for heavy contamination, we'll let you know right away what that means for your timeline.
Do you handle antifreeze soaked or oil contaminated DPF cleaning?
Yes. Coolant and oil contamination are two of the toughest jobs we see, and our hydrocleaning and flushing stage was built specifically for filters most shops would just tell you to replace.
Can you clean DPF filters for commercial truck fleets and heavy equipment?
We work on everything with a diesel engine, including semis, school buses, construction equipment like rock trucks, tractors, and domestic diesel trucks. Fleet managers and mechanics send us multiple units at once, and we keep each filter tracked individually through the whole process.
What determines the cost of DPF and DOC cleaning?
Pricing depends on filter size, contamination type, and whether bung repair or extra conditioning steps are needed. Call us at (517) 515-4330 and we'll give you a straight answer before you commit to anything.
