In our case, we pay under 300 bucks to bake a dpf and have it blown clean. Basically, the dpf is baked for an hour to thoroughly burn the soot out. Then they put it in a machine that blows compressed air through one side and a fan sucks up the ash and soot particulates. The machine also counts the number of cells that have failed to see if the trap is still useable. We have 2 levels of cleaning and airflow before cleaning determines which cleaning is necessary.
The local company that I talked to that has a DPF cleaning machine quoted me about $800 to clean mine, but if I remember right that included the cost of installing the service kit and the cost of the kit itself. It didn't include the cost of removing the DPF from the truck, though. The Ford Powerstroke service kit is about $250 for the 2008-2010, and about $300 for the 2011 and up.
Do you know what brand/model of DPF cleaning machine is being used on yours?
