When you arrange to have your car remapped with Mobile Mechanic Reading we will typically expect to have your car in for remapping for a timeframe or about one to two hours. Naturally the timeframe will differ from one car to another and the age of the vehicle will also impact what and how we carry out the remapping process in order to ensure we maximise the performance output of your car's engine.

Remapping used to be known as 'car chipping' and is also reoffered to as 'fine tuning an engine'. The process involves altering some of the software setting in your cars CPU (Central Processing Unit) which is essentially the brain of your car's electronic system which controls the power settings of your car. Remapping involves adjusting some of the manufacturers settings to ones which have been set to lower limits. The areas we focus on are the fuel injection and airflow settings.

The first thing most people will be sceptical about is the need to change the manufacturers default settings of the engine - surely the manufacturers will know what's best!?

Well yes they should or do but they are also in the business of making as much money from their car and engine factories as possible. As a result, certain settings are standardised to simplify the production of things cars which are being exported to different countries, or the other reason is to give more scope for future cars, or more expensive models of the same car, to be sold - by having a better performing engines than standard models.

In the UK we have good consistent quality fuel for our cars so having settings to compensate for poor quality petrol is one reason your car will not be set to perform at maximum efficiency by a manufacturer. However, the more common reason is to leave scope for higher cost models to be sold, so if you want your car to drive and perform like a more expensive or newer model simple book it in for our qualified remapping mechanic to work his magic.
