What we do
Everything your car needs
What could a remap do for your car?
Look up your vehicle for typical power and torque gains. Figures are a guide only.

Remapping & tuning
Remapping, done properly
Engine remapping adjusts the software in your car's engine control unit (ECU) so the engine delivers its power and torque differently. Done properly, on a healthy engine, it can make a car feel more responsive and better suited to how you actually drive it, whether that is towing, motorway miles or a bit more fun on a back road.
Every remap at Drive Dynamics starts with the car, not the software. We check the engine's health and read the fault memory first, because a remap will not fix a tired turbo, a sticking EGR valve or a clutch that is already slipping, and it is better to know that before anything changes. We will talk you through what is realistic for your specific vehicle, and we never quote a power figure we cannot stand behind.
Please read before booking: a remap is a modification. You should declare it to your insurer, and it may affect your manufacturer's warranty. We will talk this through with you before any work starts.
- 01
Talk it through
Tell us the car, how you use it and what you want from it. We will be honest about what is realistic.
- 02
Health check
A visual inspection and full diagnostic scan to find anything that should be fixed first.
- 03
Read and save
We read your ECU and keep a copy of the original software.
- 04
Write the map
The new calibration is written to the ECU and checked for errors.
- 05
Road test
We drive the car, re-check for fault codes and hand it back with a clear explanation of what changed.

“The lads at Drive Dynamics are very skilful, they go the extra mile. My son’s Honda CRV needed a new heater matrix, which requires the full dashboard to be removed. Very few garages would tackle such a complex job, no problem at DD Thanks lads 🍺🍺🍺🍺”

“I've used Drive Dynamics LTD a couple of times now, and every experience has been outstanding. Their workmanship is excellent, their customer service is second to none, and they've consistently proven to be honest, reliable, and incredibly quick. It's rare to find a company that delivers exactly what they promise, but Drive Dynamics do just that. I was absolutely over the moon with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”

peter hutchinson8 months ago on Google
“I genuinely can’t recommend Drive Dynamics highly enough! My car had been off the road after two different garages told me it needed a new engine. After seeing a post at the weekend, I messaged John, and everything moved quickly from there. The car was picked up on Monday, and by Tuesday morning John had called to clearly explain what was actually wrong. Not only did he fix the issue, but he also put it through its MOT and had it delivered back to my house by Wednesday! The service was fast, honest, and professional — and all at a fraction of the price I’d been quoted elsewhere. I won’t be using any other garage from now on and will be recommending Drive Dynamics to all my friends and family. Thank you so much, John and team”

“Had a fault with my car and it needed a "wet belt replacement" .... did not even knows what a wet belt was or what it does?? Thankfully the team at Drive Dynamics knew exactly what to do!! Drive Dynamics were outstanding, they got me in, got it sorted, explained every step and then sent photos of the work they had done. I cannot thank them enough for their work and would recommend them to anyone. Great work”

“The guys here have saved me 3 times in 6 months. Twice with engine problems and once with a last minute MOT. They've always fitted me in, once even that day (I need my car for work). Prices have always been really reasonable, I've already got all my family moved to them for services and MOT. Totally recommend them.”

“Could not have asked for a better service. Staff were kind, helpful and truely went above and beyond. I essentially broke down as I reached the garage. They took the time to help me, I was made to feel reassured and relaxed as we chatted through this stressful situation. The guys worked overtime to ensure I got my car back asap. I was talked through my options and shown parts to understand what work was required and why (Been stung by garages before). There were different payment options available, including interest free finance. Would recommend to anyone. Cannot thank them enough.”

“Outstanding job! Took my car for a wheel alignment (at National Tyres) who told me they couldnt get one side released to do the work, called on Friday morning & got a booking for this morning (Tuesday). Not only did they release both sides they managed to re-align my steering wheel,which was off slightly, & do the wheel alignment! Absolutely delighted (& they also gave the car a complimentary hoover & wash!) Cant thank them enough for making what seemed like a real headache for me so swift & painless! Highly recommend this company”

“After breaking down on the motorway with an EGR valve fault I was recommended Drive Dynamics by the recovery guy. I cannot fault Paul and his team who went above and beyond to fix more than one fault causing a stop start system fault. Honest, straight talking and explained everything fully. Even dropped the car off after it was fixed to my work. Excellent service which is very hard to come by. We now use Drive Dynamics for our other car and have no hesitations in recommending this garage. Having the work done at a dealership would have cost a lot more than it did. One of the best garages I’ve used!”
“Guys are fantastic ,very helpful”
“1st time using Drive Dynamics and won’t be the last, really good mechanics and trustworthy. Your car will be in good hands.”

Got my wheel bearings fixed and the difference it’s made it’s unbelievable, feels like I’m driving a new car. Thanks again over to the team at drive dynamics for being so professional, friendly and speedy. Got my car back to me within 24 hours on both occasions can’t recommend them enough.”
“First class service from the guys at Drive dynamics, my car was in for M.O.T and service and was given back to me washed and cleaned. The cost of both was far less than I would have paid at a Mercedes garage and service was as good if not better. Thanks Paul and the guys.”
“First class service from the team at Drive Dynamics. Would highly recommend”
“Drive Dynamics installed a reverse camera to my car, and what a cracking job they have done! Can now reverse park with confidence, as it’s something i always try and avoid without the additional feature. Great Team of guys who walked me through everything and were really helpful and patient with any questions I had. The complimentary valet you get when using their services gave me that new car feel when they handed the keys back over. Absolutely buzzing with it, Could not recommend them enough!”
“Great place , business. Top notch guys, leave a great job very reasonable. Not a single complaint for these guys.”
“Would not take my car anywhere else, can’t recommend the lads at drive dynamics enough.”
“Cannot recommend the lads at Drive Dynamics enough. Had a problem with BMW, where multiple garages got diagnosis wrong and wanted to charge like a wounded Rhino for unnecessary work. Extremely quick turnaround from initial contact to repair complete at fraction of the cost quoted elsewhere. As soon as I drove in they showed genuine interest and determination to fix problem and comprehensively explained what they thought and what they were going to do. After fault was fixed they tested thoroughly and wanted me to do the same and report back if any issues which there wasn't. Can now look forward to a roadtrip in Ireland 🇮🇪 for a few weeks.”
“Took my car to the guys on Sunday had my car fixed by the Monday the service was brilliant and I loved the condition I got it back with the free valet service the guys provided after my car was repaired will be back and 100% recommend”
“Excellent service by excellent guys. The guys had me back on the road in no time. Also used drive dynamics for my MOT and service and was such an easy and fast experience. Would recommend to anyone”

Car was also washed which was a bit of a surprise, was not expecting that type of service. The team was easy to speak and approachable. I highly recommend this garage to everyone. Thanks again to all the team at drive dynamics”

The team at drive dynamics where very knowledgeable and professional in their work. Would definitely recommend.”
“Took my car to Drive Dynamics Ltd with an underlying problem inherited from the dealer I bought the car from. Paul and Craig could not have been any more helpful.
