What the £240 tune price covers
Both Stage 1 options start with the same question: is there a suitable calibration for your engine, ECU and setup? On a suitable vehicle, we check the car and ECU before fitting the matched software, then check the vehicle afterwards. Performance is aimed at power delivery and response. Eco is aimed at drivers who prioritise fuel economy.
The remapping service prices list Stage 2 ECU software and gearbox tuning separately. If you’ve already fitted hardware or are considering gearbox software as well, tell us when you enquire. Our Stage 1 and Stage 2 comparison explains what each option is for.
What can change the total
Some ECUs can be programmed through the car’s diagnostic socket. Others may need specialist access or a supplier unlock, which can add labour or mean a separate step before tuning. Tell us about previous ECU work or a dealer software update so we can check the route. Our BMW ECU unlock guide shows why two similar-looking cars can need different work.
Use the postcode where we’d actually fit the tune, especially if you want us to come to work. We cover Greater London and check addresses just beyond it individually. Include any access or parking restrictions so we can confirm the visit and any travel charge. Check our London coverage.
What to compare between quotes
- Whether the amount is for the tune alone or the complete visit, including any applicable VAT.
- Which checks are included and whether diagnostics, extra access work or an unlock are quoted separately.
- What the installer covers after fitting and what a future return to stock may cost.
Ask for the total before agreeing a date. The A* booking terms explain quotes and deposits, and our insurance and MOT guide covers what to check before changing the car.
What to send for an itemised quote
Send the registration, fitting postcode, known modifications and whether you want better response or are looking at fuel economy. If a warning light is on or the car has recently lost power, include that too. We’ll use those details to check suitability and confirm the price before booking.
