Default Who has used Bob Rawle

Anyone on here had there scooby mapped by Bob? How did they find the results and service? Have to say im impressed with how quickly he emails back and is very informative, thinking of using him for future tweaks of my map.

Cool

Bob mapped my car recently and I have been getting advice from him recently for the next stage of development, Bob is very helpful and will always get back to me within a day of my email being sent.

As a matter of fact yesterday he helped me choose my next turbo after I had emailed him and I got answers to the 3 emails within 10 minutes of each being sent.

Bob is a legend and very well respected and I have yet to hear a bad word about him, everyone has their favourite mappers but I would recommend him without hesitation and I can assure you you will not be dissapointed.

use him and him only for mapping all of my 4 impreza's and would not take it to anyone else.

and check out the gb section as i am running a group buy with him at the minute so if you fancy a cheaper mapping session all prices are listed. we did set the dates of the 1st weekend in september but therer has not been much intrest so we have left the date open unitl more people are on board

used him about 6 times now

he just mapped my RCM 2.5 , I wouldn't let any one else near it

pleasure to deal from start to finish, I find his after sales is what sets him apart from other tunners

I agree. I have used Bob twice now and will never use anyone else. My 1st map (different mapper) was sh1te for me and my car so i wont use him again. It was too conservative. When i left Bob my car was so much better it was unreal. I enjoyed the last visit even more cus i had the missus in tow, and we got treated to Harvey and wife's hospitality. The missus stayed watching tele, whilst i went out with Harvey and Bob whilst they sorted my car out! LOL
Bob is the man. Harvey is also the man!

Bob will travel as well but to make it worth his while you may as well try and get a group together to have mapping done as this lowers the cost per map and you might not even have to pay any travelling costs if enough cars are involved.

I think he will travel to you for one car but then obviously the travelling costs have to be taken into account.

Just road mapping that I know of. You could always ask him if that is what you require?
But, the end result on the road is always good!
Don't need a RR with Bob. lol.

I've been on Scoobynet since the begining - Over the years, there have been many so called specialists that have come & gone.....

Bob Rawle & Matt Clark are the only 2 people I'd let near my car.

He maps my car - A1 in my opinon.

In my 5 years on SN I don't recall a single bad word said about his work.... and that's a rare thing for any tuner!

Also had experience with Jolly Green Monster, who is jolly helpful lol

Andy F's reputation also second to none!

You'd be alright with any of them!

Bob worked his magic on my previous scoob and I wouldn't hesitate in using him again. Very nice & helpful chap, he doesn't mind helping/explaining things to simpletons like myself

My current blobeye has been mapped by what was WRC, by the previous owner, but had it have not been done it would have also had the Bob treatment

Im just curious to know which tuner can produce the best power from a remap or are the results all the same for the likes of Andy F and Bob R.

Both will map maximum power at safe levels for your engine.

Bob and Andy are at opposite ends of the UK!! Both are excellent.

For my tuppence worth as someone who has been here almost as long as Alistair I would also give a shout out to long termers

Paul at Zen
Jolly Green Simon
Pat Herbourne

Using my money I have had Bob and Pat work on my car and both were very good.
