Best Intake Valve Cleaning, Service & Repair Near You

At Dale’s Auto Service—the best auto repair shop in the Lower Mainland—we provide professional Volkswagen walnut shell blasting for Abbotsford drivers who want to restore lost power, improve fuel efficiency, and protect their engine from carbon buildup.

Modern VW engines (TSI, TFSI, GTI, Golf R, Jetta, Tiguan, Audi variants) are known for heavy carbon accumulation on intake valves. Walnut blasting is the most effective and safest method to clean the intake tracts without chemicals or damage.

If your Volkswagen feels sluggish, misfires, or drinks more fuel than normal, it may be time for a professional walnut blasting service performed by our experienced mechanics using dealer-level tools.

Carbon buildup affects:

• Horsepower & torque

• Throttle response

• Fuel economy

• Cold start performance

• Turbo spool

• Misfire frequency

• Overall engine longevity

Our walnut blasting service restores engine performance back to factory spec—often better.
