Common questions

How do I book a car or 4x4 remap?

Book online with a £50 deposit or call 01202 503 328. The registration plus Stage 1, Stage 2 or economy is enough to start.

How much does car remapping cost?

Stage 1 from £199. Stage 2 from £399 when the hardware supports it. 4 year software warranty plus 30 day money back (T&Cs apply). Optional dyno proof is booked separately.

Petrol GTI versus diesel 320d: is the process the same?

The booking is. The file is not. Petrol work watches knock and inlet condition. Diesel work watches DPF, EGR and injector health first.

Do you remap SUVs used for towing?

Yes. Say the typical trailer. A Discovery or X5 written like an empty motorway car is the wrong brief.

Will software fix a misfire or a DPF light?

No. Those are repair jobs. We scan and stop if the car is not ready.

Should I declare a Stage 1 to my insurer?

Yes. Stage 1 is still a modification. We can summarise the file.

Do you cover Bournemouth, Poole and Southampton?

Yes. Mobile visits on driveways and at workplaces are the normal path. Dyno time is the Bournemouth exception.

What is an economy remap on a daily-driven car?

A Stage 1 biased for earlier torque and calmer cruise, not a high-mileage special and not a promise of a set MPG figure.

Can I have Stage 2 without hardware?

No. Stage 2 assumes intake, exhaust or similar support. Stock hardware stays on the Stage 1 price and file.

Do you remap automatics and DSG?

Yes, when the ECU path is supported. A TCU file is a separate conversation if shifts are the weak link.

How long does the visit take?

Typically one to two hours on a healthy car. Bench access adds time and we say so before we travel.

Where should I go if I already know the model?

Use the popular car or 4x4 hubs, then the generation page (Golf GTI Mk7, 320d F30, and so on).
