Your car’s performance upgrade shouldn’t disrupt your day.
With both mobile and garage ECU remapping options available, you can choose the service that suits your routine.
Here’s how to decide whether a technician visiting your driveway or a workshop visit works best for you.

What Happens in a Garage Remap?

  • Controlled environment: Your car sits on a ramp or rolling road, giving us a stable setup and accurate dyno checks.
  • Full diagnostics: We run pre- and post-remap scans using Autotuner or CMD Flash tools to verify engine health.
  • Power reporting: If you choose our rolling-road package, you get detailed before/after power and torque charts.
  • Access to extras: While in the workshop, you can combine remaps with services such as air filter changes or oil swaps.

Our Hanley garage sits at Unit 2, 2 Cutts Street, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 4LX.
We advise booking 2–3 hours for a full Stage 1 remap and dyno check.

How Mobile Remapping Works

  • At-home convenience: We come to your drive, office or car park—no need to drop keys off or wait in reception.
  • Quick turnaround: Most mobile jobs finish within 1.5–2 hours, including diagnostics and road test.
  • Same expertise: We use identical Autotuner and CMD Flash hardware and the same software maps as in the garage.
  • Flexibility: Book early mornings, evenings or weekends across Staffordshire Moorlands and Cheshire East.

Our mobile remap team covers Staffordshire, Cheshire East and surrounding areas.
Just park on level ground with a household power supply nearby.

Which Option Suits You?

Choose garage remapping if you:

  • Want precise dyno tuning and power charts.
  • Need extra services like oil changes or uprated downpipes.
  • Prefer a controlled workshop environment.

Choose mobile remapping if you:

  • Have a tight schedule or can’t travel to Hanley.
  • Prefer minimal downtime—just park and go.
  • Are happy with road-test data over dyno graphs.

Real Customer Example

Jane in Stafford booked a mobile remap for her Ford Fiesta ST.
She saw a 25 Nm torque boost at 1,800 rpm and returned an extra 5 MPG on her daily run to work—all without leaving her street.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need mains power for mobile work?

Yes—our laptop and flashing tools run off a standard 13 A socket.

Can I switch back to stock software?

We store your original file and can restore it at any time via your chosen service.

How long does a remap last?

Remaps remain until you choose another flash or dealer update—often years.
