DPF Cleaning – Level Up Your Parts Business

DPF Cleaning – Level Up Your Parts Business

Alright, parts pros! Redline Emissions Products here, talking straight to you about a golden opportunity: combining DPF cleaning services and Redline aftertreatment parts. You’re already in the diesel game, so you know DPFs are a must-maintain item for fleets.

Let’s break down why offering DPF cleaning and stocking Redline parts is a smart move for your business.

DPF Cleaning: A Service Your Customers Need (and Will Pay For)

Fleet managers are constantly dealing with clogged Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). It’s not a matter of if a DPF will clog, but when. When it happens, it means:

• Lost Productivity: Trucks off the road cost money.
• Lower Fuel Economy: Clogged DPFs make engines work harder.
• Potential Engine Damage: Backpressure from a blocked DPF can cause serious issues.

They’re looking for competitive, fast solutions, and that’s where you come in. Offering DPF cleaning services positions you as a problem-solver and a valuable partner. Here’s the rundown you can share with your customers:

The Basics: DPF cleaning removes the built-up soot and ash that restricts exhaust flow.

Cleaning Options:

• On-Vehicle Regeneration: A quick fix, like burning off the soot. Can cost $150-$600.
• Off-Vehicle Cleaning: A deep clean using specialized equipment. Typically $300-$1,000. There are numerous factors that can impact this expense, such as filter condition, cost to remove/install, cleaning method, related parts required, etc.
• Replacement: The most expensive route, $2,500-$10,000! Highlights the value of regular cleaning & making sure upstream issues are resolved quickly.

Redline Emissions Products: Your Partner in Aftertreatment

This is where you can shine. By offering DPF cleaning, you create a natural entry point to sell Redline Emissions Products aftertreatment parts. Think about it:

• Diagnosis Leads to Parts Sales: During a filter cleaning, you might identify damaged or worn gaskets, clamps, DPFs, DOCs, weld bungs, or NOx sensors. With these parts on hand, you can cross-sell when customers have you clean their DPFs. REP has you covered with high-quality, direct-fit replacements for all types of emissions parts.

• Repeatable Replacement Opportunities: Every time a filter is removed and reinstalled on a truck, it’s recommended that the gaskets and even the clamps should be replaced – often in multiples. Generally, REP Gaskets retail for between $10 – $130 each and clamps $20 – $120 and up to $350 for kits.

• Preventative Maintenance: After providing a cleaning service, educate your customers on the importance of quality aftertreatment components to prevent future issues. Recommend REP parts for their durability and performance. Intentionally remind your customers when they are due for their next DPF Cleaning.

Complete Solution: Position yourself as the one-stop shop for DPF maintenance, cleaning, and quality replacement parts from REP.

What Affects DPF Cleaning (and Your Business)?

Understanding these factors helps you price your services and recommend the right solutions to your customers:

• Truck Type: Bigger trucks = potentially bigger jobs (and parts).
• Clog Level: Heavily clogged DPFs might need more intensive cleaning or even replacement.
• Cleaning Method: Offer a range of cleaning options to meet different needs and budgets.
• Labor Costs: Factor in your shop rates.
• Service Provider Reputation: Quality service justifies your pricing.
• Fleet Size: Consider offering package deals for larger fleets.
• Driving Conditions: Help customers understand how their operations impact DPF maintenance needs.
