I guess I must be too cheap then !
I have been at £500 for an Ecutek map (including licence) for a few years now. From what I read here this is cheaper than some of the open source guys once you consider the £150 licence fee.
£190 for a subsequent full remap on Ecutek, Apexi,Simtek,Autronic etc and usually somewhere between £50 to £100 for some less involved mapping work.
VAT is applied in my case (not with all tuners) but sadly I don't see any of that !
The difference I suppose is that unlike Paul, I am usually doing 2 remaps every day of the week, its all I do full time and just specialising on Subarus.
I guess having a 4-5 week waiting list all year round for the past few years means I must be doing something right
I must say I have never been tempted to price myself quieter !
As Dynamix mentioned, there is more to a remap than just drive in -map- drive away.
- quality of maps
- service
- aftersales service
- advice
- building up a rapport with the tuner
I may exchange hours of phone calls and dozens of emails/PMs with someone ensuring they are getting the most appropriate mods done to their car before arriving for tuning.

I am sure a lot of people (including me) did not know your mapping cost.

We also charge £500 although we include vat. And a dyno session.
Of course we warranty the effectiveness of our work.
Our price structure reflects our location and the fact that we have a very busy Subaru department.

Even better! Again, I bet many people did not know this. My ramblings have served a purpose after all....

I didn't realise Andy followed our progress so closely! flattering really! 
Our thinking is this. South West pay levels are generally rubbish, so we cut the cloth to suit. Also a large number of people have expressed a desire to travel here from further afield to get thier cars mapped. Bearing in mind the advantages of what we offer ( in our view) the price we charge reflects the both the distance involved and the confidence we have in our ability to use the product.
