America's Best DPF Cleaning Solutions
Choosing a reliable, trustworthy DPF cleaning is an important choice. Failure to properly maintain and clean your DPF system can lead to breakdowns and costly repairs. Thankfully, avoiding disaster is easy with regular maintenance, cleaning and care of your DPF and other aftertreatment parts.
It may easily slip your mind, but cleaning your DPF system is a small cost compared to the potential $10,000-$30,000 in repairs after a breakdown. As a critical component of your engine’s exhaust system, even a partially soot-clogged DPF will increase back pressure into your engine.
Keep your DPF at peak performance and ease any worries about potential problems by choosing the best DPF cleaning available with DPF Alternatives. Get an estimate today!
How Often Should a DPF Be Cleaned?
DPFs typically need cleaning initially every 150,000 to 200,000 miles, then every 100,000 afterward. Drivers are alerted when it’s time for cleaning by an orange dashboard light. Early signs it’s time for a thorough cleaning and inspection are the emission of black soot, increased oil levels and a rise in fuel usage.
With DPF Alternatives, you can rest assured you’re getting a quality, thorough cleaning and maintenance with our DPF cleaning. Our equipment, process and proprietary SL100 solution restores the DPF to OEM specifications.
With the best warranty in the industry and guaranteed results, know you’re getting the best DPF cleaning available when you choose DPF Alternatives.
Do DPF Cleaners Work?
Many DIY DPF cleaners claim to be a cheap, quick and equally effective option for DPF cleaning. Unfortunately, these claims are largely exaggerated and misleading. Additives alone are not sufficient to thoroughly clean or unclog a DPF. For a true cleaning and unblocking, you’ll need professional equipment.
With the quality and level of services at DPF Alternatives, the DPF can be expertly returned to like-new condition. Our consistent quality and attention to detail means you’ll get the best service, every time.

Other Services in addition to DPF Cleaning
Looking to keep the rest of your system running smoothly? DPF Alternatives also offers DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), SCR (Select Catalyst Reduction) and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cleanings and restoration.
DOC Cleaning. The DOC works with the DPF to keep your exhaust system running. When not serviced simultaneously, the DOC can prematurely clog the DPF. Since the DOC sits right above the DPF, not cleaning the DOC can send any soot it’s been holding right back into your newly cleaned DPF and clog it all over again.
SCR Cleaning. The SCR is notorious for costing owners significant money in diagnostics and replacements and causing severe issues for the entire exhaust system. Many believe it’s impossible to clean the SCR, but DPF Alternatives has found a way that has seen great success — even in Detroit one box systems.
DPF Alternatives guarantees we can restore any DPF system to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost for a new one. Save yourself from dangerous, unwanted breakdowns and expensive repairs with regular DPF cleaning. Choose a trusted name with certified experts. Choose DPF Alternatives.

America's largest franchise of all OEM-approved DPF cleaning methods
DPF Alternatives specializes in all OEM-approved DPF cleaning methods for DPFs of every year, make, and model.
With more than 100 locations, we are America's leading choice for both fleet operators and individual vehicle owners. Our team is trusted to maintain DPF systems and extend their lifespan with expert service.
Our cleaning process is designed to preserve the washcoat (precious metals) of the DPF and DOC. If a DPF is not serviced correctly, it can lead to internal damage or deterioration of these precious metals, resulting in poor system performance.
At DPF Alternatives, each filter is cleaned by hand to ensure every cell is properly treated. This careful process targets areas heavily affected by soot and ash, preventing damage and delivering the cleanest filters on the market.
Automated DPF cleaning systems, which use air and large volumes of liquid to flush the filter, can damage the DPF’s internal structure. Because water follows the path of least resistance, soot and ash can remain trapped inside. Over time, this trapped debris causes internal damage, leading to premature failure of the DPF.
With so many DPF service providers in the market, DPF Alternatives is the largest, trusted, safest option for fleet and single operator DPF, DOC, and SCR service providers. We never use automated cleaning systems—each filter is carefully cleaned by hand for the best results.
