Why don't you show prices?
Every vehicle is different, so a price list would only ever be a guess. Send your reg and Gary will check your exact vehicle and text you a fixed price, with travel included. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Is remapping safe for my engine?
Every remap starts with a diagnostic check, so we don't remap a vehicle with a fault. The map is set to stay within safe limits for your engine, and your original software is saved before anything changes. We quote honest figures and don't push an engine further than it should go.
My vehicle has high mileage. Is a remap still OK?
Yes, as long as it has been looked after. 100,000 miles is not high for a modern engine. Gary's own remapped MINI has done 220,000 miles on its original clutch and turbo, and his Caddy van 356,000 miles.
Is a remap worth it instead of changing my car?
Often, yes. Lots of our customers love their car but have got used to it. A remap brings back some of the fun for far less than the cost and hassle of changing it.
Can a remap be reversed?
Yes. We keep a copy of your original software. If your remap doesn't feel right, tell us within 30 days and Gary will fine-tune it or put it back. After that we can still reload your original software at any time, for example if you sell the vehicle. There is a call-out and diagnostics charge for this, to cover travel.
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Yes. A remap counts as a modification, so let your insurer know. Many charge little or nothing extra, but it's worth checking with yours first.
How long does it take?
A remap usually takes 1 to 2 hours. A DPF clean takes 2 to 3 hours, including diagnostics, the clean, a forced regeneration and the ECU reset. Gary will confirm when he sends your price.
What do I need to provide?
Just somewhere safe to park next to the vehicle, at home or at work, and the keys. You don't need to be with the car the whole time.
Which vehicles do you work on?
Cars, vans, motorhomes, LGVs and HGVs, on petrol, diesel and LPG. If you're not sure, send your reg and we'll tell you.
