If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.

Contaminated AdBlue in Bodmin — what is different locally
Vehicles in Bodmin are often found on the hard standing of a yard or a forecourt, and an on-site drain avoids a recovery movement that would otherwise cost more than the repair.
Distance to a marque dealer from Bodmin is the single biggest variable in what this ends up costing, and it is worth settling before anything is towed. Vans and pickups around Bodmin carry larger AdBlue tanks, are refuelled by whoever is on shift, and lose a working day rather than an evening when they are off the road.
A drain done on the day is usually cheaper than a recovery plus a workshop slot plus the wait, but that is only true where the contamination direction allows it. Cold mornings in Cornwall produce a run of calls that turn out to be nothing more than fluid below −11 °C in a tank that has not yet warmed, and telling that apart from a real fault saves a wasted visit.
Location changes the logistics of this job and nothing else about it — the severity is set by what went into which tank. Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. Coverage runs across Cornwall on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions
Can this be finished at the roadside in Bodmin?
Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. If it cannot, you are told on the call rather than after somebody has attended.
How quickly can somebody get to Bodmin?
Attendance in Bodmin is normally same day and the helpline runs 24 hours, but the time that actually matters is the time on site, which for this job is about 65 minutes once the assessment is done.
Can contaminated fluid be filtered and reused?
No. Dissolved metal impurity is not removed by a filter, and the insolubles you can see are rarely the whole problem.
What customers say in Bodmin
4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. The recurring theme in reviews is that nobody was made to feel stupid about it, which for a mistake like this matters more than people expect. The most common criticism is price, and it is published here rather than buried: the answer is the Call-out from £89, a quote before travel, and being told when a job cannot be finished at the roadside.
