The Dos & Dont’s of Remapping

How do you know if you are getting a quality product and service? below we have detailed some of the more obvious things to look out for and hopefully this will give you a good indication of what to look out for when shopping around for a quality remap. Just pick up a copy of your local Autotrader and take a look at the number of small ads that claim to be the best at the cheapest price and ask yourself the following:

• Do they list a mobile phone number only?
• Do they have a registered UK business address?
• Are they insured?
• Do they claim to offer a full and comprehensive service working from the back of a van?

With no landline telephone number and no business address it’s unlikely that you are dealing with a professional company, usually working from the back of a van with 'cloned' tuning tools and very little experience. When dealing with extremely high-tec engine management equipment it is inevitable that things go wrong from time to time. The question you must ask is this, can a man in a van fix it there and then, and if not are they insured to cover the cost of a replacement engine management system? More importantly, can I find them if I have a problem in the future? A mobile 'tuner' may well be happy to travel miles to make some money, but will they be as eager to come back if their poor quality work has caused you a problem?
