Will chip tuning invalidate my car's warranty?
No. All cars at West Tuning are reprogramed with the same equipment used by car manufacturers. Any changes made to your car are therefore undetectable.
How does chip tuning affect the economy of my car
In normal driving conditions, the economy of your car may increase marginally. However, using the extra resulting from the tuning, the economy will decrease. The effects vary very slightly between petrol and deisel models with diesel models having fractionally better economy.
Will the life span of my car be affected?
No. At West Tuning, we take great care not to 'over-tune' cars so the lifespan of your car's engine is not affected in any way.
Can the car be put back its standard BHP?
Yes. On most cars this service is free of charge but occasionally on complex cars, you may incur a small fee. For more information on reverse chip tuning, please contact us.
What's the advantage of having testing my car on a rolling road over mobile chipping services?
When modifications have been carried out on the vehicle, diagnostic data logging can be performed whilst the car is being driven. This this is the only true way of testing the car's performance
