In 2021, AUTOROZVODY s.r.o. from Holice invested in an OTOMATIC DPF filter cleaning machine. From the outset, it offered competitive terms and serviced a full range of vehicles: passenger cars, vans, and heavy trucks. The average price of the service in the Czech Republic is CZK 3,500 (approx. EUR 140).
The growth dynamics are best illustrated by the number of DPF filters cleaned:
2021 – 289 units, 2022 – 438 units, 2023 – 573 units, 2024 – 742 units, and by the end of August 2025 – 566 units. The team now works in a three-shift system and accepts up to 14 filters per day on peak days.
This is an example of consistent development based on appropriately selected technology. The right machine gave the company a technological advantage and translated into noticeably higher quality services compared to local DPF services. This is confirmed by good reviews from workshop owners and transport companies, which further drives expansion.
At the current price level on the Czech market, DPF filter cleaning remains a profitable and cost-effective venture.

Saint Jory Radiateurs is a workshop specializing in automotive radiator repairs in Toulouse, France. In April 2022, Philippe Couzinet decided to purchase an Otomatic DPF Premium diesel particulate filter cleaning machine.
FAP/DPF cleaning fits naturally within the activities of radiator repair shops, as it targets the same customer base (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and coaches, as well as off-road and agricultural machinery).
After two and a half years of operation, Philippe was very satisfied with the profits generated by the FAP/DPF filter cleaning service (the machine paid for itself in less than six months). He therefore decided to purchase a second machine for his company — the DPF Platinum. The new device is more technologically advanced than the Premium model (hybrid technology; an automatic water/air flow-reversal valve; higher-capacity tank heating elements; a power-assisted lift for the pneumatic arm; etc.), which has further streamlined the workflow and increased the income from the service. At present, turnover generated by DPF filter cleaning is around €100 000.
