Get Complete DPF Cleaning & Restoration

Champion FleetCare is proud to bring Kansas City the #1 DPF Cleaning Service in America — DPF Alternatives.


A clogged diesel particulate filter increases back pressure, reduces fuel efficiency, and can lead to costly engine or after-treatment failures.


Our professional off-vehicle DPF cleaning process removes built-up soot, ash, and contaminants that passive and active regeneration simply cannot eliminate — restoring your filter to as much as 99% of its useful life.


Located at 13711 W 107th St, Lenexa, KS 66215, United States, we help fleet operators restore performance, reduce downtime, and avoid expensive DPF replacements — with services starting at $99.95.

What Is a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)?

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a critical component of your truck's exhaust and aftertreatment system.

It captures soot and particulate matter to meet emissions requirements and reduce particulate output. Over time, ash buildup restricts exhaust flow and increases engine back pressure.

The industry standard cleaning method removes only about 35% of ash buildup. Our process removes up to 99.9% — a significant difference in performance and filter lifespan.


When not professionally cleaned, a clogged DPF can cause:


  • Reduced engine power
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Frequent regeneration cycles
  • Check engine or DPF warning lights
  • Increased soot in oil sample analysis
  • Potential turbo or engine damage


Regular DPF cleaning protects your engine, supports inspection readiness, and keeps your truck road-ready.

Our DPF Cleaning Process

Unlike quick chemical additives or incomplete cleaning methods, our professional DPF service focuses on complete restoration.

Inspection and Flow Testing

Each DPF is inspected and tested for airflow restrictions before cleaning to identify clogging levels and structural concerns.

Controlled Thermal Cleaning

We use a controlled bake process to remove hardened soot safely and carbon buildup without damaging the filter core.

Air Pulse Cleaning

Air pulse cleaning removes loosened ash from deep within the filter channels, restoring proper exhaust flow.

Post-Clean Flow Verification

After cleaning, we retest airflow to confirm performance restoration and proper back pressure reduction.

Reinstallation & System Check

Once reinstalled, verify system operation, confirm any related fault codes, and investigate the causes of the repeat restriction.

Our goal is to restore airflow and back pressure as closely as possible to OEM specifications while extending filter life.

When Does a DPF Need Cleaning?

Many diesel trucks benefit from professional DPF cleaning around 150,000–200,000 miles, depending on duty cycle, idle time, load, and operating environment.


Common warning signs include:

  • Frequent active regeneration
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Loss of power under load
  • Excessive exhaust back pressure
  • Dashboard DPF or emissions warning lights


Addressing DPF issues early helps prevent emergency breakdowns and costly after-treatment replacements.

Additional After-treatment Services

DPF performance depends on the entire after treatment system. We also service related components to ensure long-term reliability.

DOC Cleaning

The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) works directly with the DPF. If clogged, it can restrict airflow and prematurely contaminate a cleaned filter.

SCR System Inspection

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) components are inspected to prevent DEF-related faults and emissions system failures.

EGR System Service

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems are evaluated to reduce soot buildup that contributes to premature DPF clogging.

Comprehensive aftertreatment service protects your investment and supports proper emissions-system operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should a DPF be cleaned?

    Most diesel trucks require cleaning between 150,000 and 200,000 miles, depending on usage and operating conditions.


  • Can DPF additives replace professional cleaning?

    No. Additives may assist regeneration, but cannot remove hardened ash buildup that requires off-vehicle cleaning.


  • How long does DPF cleaning take?

    Turnaround is often 1–2 business days, depending on fleet volume, filter condition, and any damage found during inspection. If additional repairs such as truck welding are needed, service time may vary.

  • Is DPF cleaning better than replacement?

    Often, yes — when the filter is structurally sound. Cleaning can restore airflow and back pressure at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
