Remapping and Warranties
Mobile Remaps has what it considers to be the best warranty in the UK for customers who want to consider remapping their car.
Our warranty scheme is not open to all vehicles and is offered on qualifying vehicles only.
Our ecu remapping warranty has the following features:
As part of the warranty, you will be issued a Warranty Booklet and a Tuning Certificate showing the date of your remap and the mileage at the time of the remap.
Please note that our Warranty does NOT replace the lifetime guarantee we promote regarding the stability of your tuned engine map file which is placed on your car ECU. Our remapping warranty is in addition to this! Neither does our remapping warranty replace our 14 day money back guarantee which is offered to all Mobile Remaps customers. Again, it is addition to this guarantee.
Finally, our optional warranty does not affect your statutory legal rights.
Note: Anyone who informs you that remapping will not affect your new car warranty is purely selling to you. The truth is that it more than likely will invalidate your new car warranty as a remap is a modification to how your vehicle left the factory. However at the same time, depending on the knowledge of your local franchised car dealer, they may recognize that your car's remap is not responsible for your warranty claim at all. Because your vehicle's warranty claim is at the mercy of your local franchised car dealer, it is safer to assume that if you have a new vehicle, remapping your car engine will more than likely invalidate your new car warranty rather than assume it won't have any affect at all.
Why do we not offer the above warranty on all remaps?
Some vehicles will not qualify for the warranty due to their age, lack of service history as well as faults that are diagnosed [or diagnosed as pending] prior to Mobile Remaps providing our ecu remapping service on your car.
Insurance & Remapping
As an ecu remap alters the manner in which your car engine delivers its performance, engine remapping is a vehicle modification. It is therefore your responsibility to inform your vehicle insurer of that modification.
Having said the above, do not be discouraged from remapping or having your car remapped as most insurance companies appreciate the benefits of and reasons for having your vehicle engine tuned for improved fuel economy and reliability. In our experience our custmoers have spoken favourably about their experience when disclosing to their insurance provider they had car remapped for power, economy or a mix of power and economy combined. As an example, here is an article written for CR6 Magazine where the journalist had their VW Golf GTi remapped from 105bhp to 145bhp and only had their insurance premiums increase by £23 per annum. Autocar have also recently written an independent article on remapping you might find interesting.
To help our customers who have newer vehicles and who inform their insurance company of their car remap, Mobile Remaps provide can provide a tuning certificate for both your peace of mind and your insurance provider. This tuning certificate not only outlines the date at which your vehicle was remapped but also any incrase in power and torque that your car has gained as a direct result of our services.
