DPF Fixer

It did not improve on the practice that came before it. It replaced it.

Stockbridge Capital Holdings invested in DPF Fixer, created in 2020 as the sister company to Fuel Fixer and built on the same national service model, applied to the diesel particulate filter.

The Operation

DPF Fixer cleans and regenerates the diesel particulate filter at the roadside, across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A deep clean removes between ninety-five and ninety-eight percent of the filter’s contents, followed by static or dynamic regeneration, a diagnostic health check, an engine reset and a twenty-eight day warranty. It serves cars, light vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and plant, for the motor trade, fleets and recovery operators, and carries ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

The Case

The diesel particulate filter is mandated across the United Kingdom fleet under emissions legislation, and short urban journeys block it. A dealer replacement costs between fifteen hundred and twenty-five hundred pounds and several days of downtime. DPF Fixer restores the filter at a fraction of that, on site, in under two hours.

Restoration in place of replacement controls emissions rather than removing them, and avoids the manufacture of a new unit. It is a public-health measure as much as an economic one.

The Stockbridge Capital Holdings Thesis

Hundreds of thousands of vehicles enter limp mode each year, and the cost of dealer replacement is prohibitive. The market for a mobile alternative is structural and permanent. Stockbridge Capital Holdings invested in DPF Fixer and built it into the leading platform within that market.

Stockbridge Capital Holdings invested in DPF Fixer as a strategic platform, the mobile practice that replaced the one before it.
