Has any one used / heard of www.wakeupyourcar.com?

A local service garage has started to offer remaps using the software from wakeupyourcar. Has anyone had any dealing with this software? They are offering to remap my Leon FR 150 to 180 BHP and 384NM Tourque for £235 inc VAT. Is it worth considering or can I get better value from someone else?

I'll give you my opinion. Tire fitters do an average job of fitting the right tire without damaging my wheels, and quickfit service centres do an average job of putting the correct oil in my car provided I give them the correct oil and show them where it goes.

Would I let them loose on my car armed with a laptop and enough software to change essential engine management parameters? Errrmmm... No.

If I was going to have a remap done, I'd go to someone who does it for a living, not some place who just bought a franchise and wants to make a few quid selling generic software maps.

£235 is cheap though, and if my local service place started doing it I'd probably be asking some probing questions to see what they knew, just for a laugh.
