Clean and efficient
Exhaust systems are another integral part of your vehicle that have become more complicated in order to improve efficiency and reduce emissions (better for you, better for the planet). To keep your exhaust system operating properly it needs regular maintenance and in some cases a full service to avoid a loss in overall vehicle performance and fuel efficiency.

Common components
While the basics of exhaust pipes and mufflers remain relatively unchanged, new exhaust systems now also include catalytic converters which convert the harmful emissions from your exhaust, and in the case of modern diesel engines, a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which catches ‘soot’ particles. Diesel vehicles also require a fluid referred to as AdBlue (or DEF) which is injected into the exhaust system to reduce emissions even further. As a consumable, AdBlue levels need to be maintained but we can check and top up as required as a part of an exhaust system check or service.

Benefits of an efficient exhaust system:

• Keeps your vehicle running smoothly

• Reduces harmful emissions

• Maintains or even (when serviced) improves fuel economy
