Terraclean - Anyone have experience with this?

So my dealer is offering this Terraclean service (www.terraclean.net) and wanted to see if anyone here has tried it and would like to comment on it. Here's a video explaining the process:


They are charging $140 to do it.

ehhhh, I'd be kind of wary doing this to my car. But if the dealer is willing to put down in writing that if it breaks my car and they fix everything, I may do it lol.

Guess I will be the guinea pig. I've got almost 60K on the odo and wanted to purge any excess carbon buildup. They say they've done quite a few with great success.

So I got the car back and drove it for about 100 miles over the past few days. I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the results. I did have some hesitation early on that has completely disappeared after the Terraclean process. I wish I could have this done to my other cars as well. I'll probably do it again at 75K just to make sure things are running just as smoothly.

Did you change the plugs after doing this process ?

In prior cars, anytime I used Seafoam in the intake for carbon cleaning, I always changed the plugs.

JSBear - Good call. I did that as well. I figured I might as well do it all while it is being serviced.
