£89 is the call-out. An AdBlue tank drain and flush is quoted on the phone before a technician travels. 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 Chester — what is different locally
Vehicles in Chester 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.
Specialist SCR workshops in Cheshire are scattered, and the nearest one to Chester may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. HGV traffic through Chester changes the arithmetic — tank volumes an order of magnitude larger, disposal costs to match, and a loaded trailer that cannot simply be left.
Downtime cost is usually what decides between a mobile fix and a recovery, and it is worth being blunt about it on the call rather than after the van arrives. Cold mornings in Cheshire 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.
The geography affects arrival time and disposal, not the outcome; that is decided by the contamination direction and whether the engine was run. Usually resolved by a drain and flush, with a fluid-quality check afterwards. Coverage runs across Cheshire on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions
Will I need recovery from Chester?
Only if the SCR system needs component work that cannot be done where the vehicle is. That determination is made on the phone before anything is booked.
What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Chester?
That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.
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.
