Russell Percival
Absolutely fantastic service. Answered my questions and addressed my concerns. These guys know there stuff. I got a PRL high volume air intake installed in my 2024 Honda Civic sport sedan. "Yeah yeah I know." Wasn't chasing gains or trying to make my car super fast because it's not. Although after the installation the car sounds fantastic. I'm extremely happy with the noise it makes now. Sounds sportier with a little angry growel. Like I said I'm not chasing gains or trying to race anybody. These guys did a fantastic job and it was a comfortable experience. There is a difference and it's noticeable no huge power gain but is a bit peppier sounds great. Thanks to the guys at parts plug
Response from the owner:Always happy to help Russel, thanks!

These guys are solid. I took my BMW X7 here and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. They provided a detailed quote by email beforehand, and there were no surprises, hidden fees, or unnecessary upselling. Honest, professional service and a great overall experience. Highly recommended.

Sutharsan Sriskandarajah
I've been bringing my cars here for the past few years, and the experience has consistently been top-notch. The customer service is excellent—friendly, professional, and attentive. The team is knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cares about getting you the right parts at a fair price. They’re incredibly thorough with their inspections and have always been able to accurately diagnose and resolve any issues. The only downside is that they’re getting busier as more people discover their outstanding service, but it’s a testament to how good they really are.

I had a fantastic experience with Parts Plug. Their staff was knowledgeable, patient, and truly understood the needs of performance car enthusiasts. I was after a specific O-ring for my HKS BOV on an N54 build, and not only did they have exactly what I needed, but they also helped me confirm the correct size over the phone.

Dash Ketchum
They did a great on my VW. Came here initially for just for a Carbon build up removal (walnut blast), and ended having my car fully diagnosed and repaired beyond my initial thoughts. Fair pricing, they are good and prompt with communication as well details to what the actual issues are. So no feeling of being upsold on things you don't need.

Brought my truck in to change the exhaust so i could get a deeper sound and a little louder . Amar listened to what i wanted and ordered what was needed . Part took a little longer but no worries they were prompt in keeping me informed . Sounds amazing and the decimal level comes in a little louder . I could not be happier . Amazing service very polite from all employees that i interacted with , i actually felt like they cared about what i wanted. Also as i was leaving i was told to see if its the sound im looking for as they could make it louder . These guys a great. Highly recommend. Been back for headlight and taillight install . Again they did a fantastic job
Response from the owner:Thank you Lorne i'm glad you're liking the exhaust! – Amar

Why Get Your Valves Cleaned?

Performing an intake valve carbon cleaning can offer several advantages, particularly for modern engines with direct fuel injection (DI). Here are some key benefits:

1. Improved Engine Performance: Carbon buildup on intake valves can restrict airflow into the combustion chamber, leading to reduced engine performance. Cleaning the intake valves helps restore optimal airflow and can enhance engine responsiveness and acceleration.

2. Increased Fuel Efficiency: A clean intake system allows for better air-fuel mixture formation, which can improve fuel combustion and efficiency. This often translates to better fuel economy and fewer trips to the gas station.

3. Reduced Emissions: Carbon deposits can affect combustion efficiency, leading to incomplete burning of fuel and increased emissions. Cleaning the intake valves helps ensure a more complete burn, which can reduce harmful emissions and help your vehicle meet environmental standards.

4. Smoother Engine Operation: Carbon buildup can cause rough idling, engine knocking, or misfires. Removing these deposits helps the engine run more smoothly and quietly, enhancing overall driving comfort.

5. Prevention of Engine Damage: Over time, excessive carbon buildup can lead to engine damage or increased wear on components. Regular cleaning helps prevent this buildup, potentially extending the life of the engine and its parts.

6. Improved Throttle Response: Carbon deposits can cause sticky or sluggish throttle response. Cleaning the intake valves can help restore a more immediate and predictable throttle response.

7. Better Starting Performance: If carbon buildup has been affecting the engine’s ability to start smoothly, cleaning the intake valves can improve cold starts and overall starting performance.

8. Maintenance of Warranty: For some vehicles, regular maintenance including intake valve cleaning can be important for maintaining manufacturer warranties. It’s always a good idea to check the vehicle’s service recommendations and warranty requirements.

Regular intake valve cleaning can be a valuable part of your vehicle’s maintenance routine, especially if you notice symptoms of carbon buildup.
