I got my epexi ecu mapped and turbo bleed there, cost £490. they picked my car up and dropped it off then I had a problem with a spark plug coming loose. They said it was a piston slap and I needed a engine rebuild and sent me on my way, it had only been 2 days after they remapped it. On my way home the spark plug popped out I thought the engine had blown up, i rang them up didn't get any help to find this problem or any after care at all.
I have had all my work previously done by dave at scooby tech motors in little Sutton and i'll never go any where else again. I rang him up and he came and looked at the motor and he fixed it for me on my drive, top feller very experienced and helpful and been happy with all prices off him.

Quoted £700 for rear brakes to be replaced - not with anything special as I don't track the car The squeak was fixed with copper grease by my local garage - cost me nothing

Kinda put me off going again, sorry Rich.

Also, Dave at Scooby Tech was recommended to me by other scoobynetters, quite a few go to him

Personally I think their customer service is terrible so wouldn't use them again ..

When I had the little incident with them Ste at Dyno Demon was fantastic, helped me work through things and find a new car.

Genuinely don't think I've spent any money with him that I didn't need to ..

I used them last Thursday charged me an hours labour for sorting my Steering wheel angle sensor out. They had to re calibrate it and now she's sorted. I took her to another dealer first who charged me half an hours labour just to tell me the fault codes.

I would use them again.
