Services
ECU Remapping
Our ECU remapping service optimises engine performance using market-leading partners like Revo and SM Tuning. By adjusting parameters such as fuel delivery and turbo boost, we enhance power, responsiveness, and efficiency. This service is ideal for drivers seeking improved throttle response and mid-range torque, particularly for race or high-performance road cars.
Rolling Road Tuning
Using our Superflow AD30 chassis dyno, we measure and optimise engine output up to 1200bhp. This service ensures precise power delivery and drivability improvements for both road and race vehicles. The high-inertia rollers replicate real-world conditions, allowing accurate calibration of throttle bodies and exhaust systems.
Wheel Alignment
Our Hunter HD alignment system ensures precise four-wheel geometry calibration. For road cars, this improves safety and fuel economy, while race vehicles benefit from optimised tyre contact and handling. We adjust camber, caster, and toe settings to match your driving conditions and suspension setup.
Carburettor Servicing
We restore vintage carburettors through a three-stage refurbishment process. This service includes cleaning, component replacement, and flow testing to ensure reliable fuel delivery. Ideal for classic cars and motorsport applications requiring precise air-fuel ratios and throttle response.
Vehicle Diagnostics
Our advanced diagnostic equipment identifies and resolves complex mechanical and electronic issues. Using specialist tools, we pinpoint defects in engine management, electrical systems, and sensors. This service ensures cost-effective repairs while maintaining performance standards for both daily drivers and competition vehicles.

I was a bit apprehensive about this, however I absolutely needn't have been; Alex, although young, was
