DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I paid for a stage 3 tune that lost me 6bhp this is a £800 tune. They gave me a terrible excuse to do with exhaust gas temps being the reason, after it being checked out by several other tuners they have all said the same thing. Terrible map, (no added fuel no added duration! Also extra work was supposed to be completed 4 bar sensor being added and they flat out lied to me about it, Producing 0. 2 bar in the end, PLUS they coded out an air leak on the intake manifold instead of dealing with it or letting me know. Total cowboy firm! Trading standards have been informed. My van is a lot better now it’s been looked at by a professional. I suggest anybody that has used this firm to get the worked checked out by somebody else. Chances are you’ve been ripped off! TRADING STANDARDS ARE NOW OPENING A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE WORK CARRIED OUT!Moreexpand_more
Response : Dear Mr Upton, At the time of your review we have been in contact with you. We have offered to have your vehicle back in on our dyno for a health check, data log and adjustments if required while showing you every step of the process for transparency of our tuning work. Im sorry you declined our offer on this occasion. The vehicle left us running the correct boost pressures and EGT’s (Exhaust gas temperature) albeit we could push for more power by raising some safety limiters upon your authorisation which has been declined. We always want to ensure safety over power with any tune we calibrate. On rare occasion a customer might like to sign a disclaimer of liability so we can tune it stronger but with compromise to engine and component safety. If at any time you would like to bring your vehicle back in for a dyno session we would be happy to do so. Director John Ford.Moreexpand_more

Had a Stage 1 and rolling road tune carried out on my 2011Mini Countryman Cooper S. The results were very encouraging. 215 BHP and 374NM. This put it up to JCW performance. A very Professional set up and the Guys were more than helpful. Drivability has been vastly improved. I wouldn't hesitate to use JF automotive services again in the future.

Recently had my Fiesta ST remapped and a Remus exhaust fitted. What a difference! Feels and sounds awesome. My partner also had a sports exhaust and induction kit fitted followed with a session on the Dyno… He loves it and still hasn't stopped smiling. Thanks again everyone at JFA. I'm sure I'll be back in the near future ? .

Just want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to John at JFA for bringing my GLE AMG 43 back to life. Just had a Stage 1 remap and the response is amazing and fuel consumption seems a lot better. Would highly recommend a remap from this place , trustworthy and very Professional. Also huge thanks to all staff from JFA including Phil which he done the Autowatch Ghost 2 Immobiliser. .

Had my 1. 6 TDI remapped. Better engine response and also an increase of mpg's (about 6 or 7). I would recommend especially if your engine is one of those where VW did a 'software update' after the emissions scandal and ruined your car. This remap puts it back on track. I had the remap done for 3 months now and had 0 issues. Overall very pleased.

Contacted these guys to Re-Map my gear box and engine on a new Mercedes E63s 4Matic AMG. What can I say…. Great service from day one and what a difference. I'm almost at 700bhp and 960nm of Torque! The car is still very much drive-able and you can pootle along at 30 or rip your face off! I whole heartedly recommend these guys and they will even pick up and drop off your car if you are too busy. Top class service from true experts in their field who actually care.

There are a number of tuners who offer similar products however it's the customer service and personal service that sets JF apart from the rest (as well as an amazing product of course) It's the 2nd car I've had tuned and wouldn't go anywhere else, I will always recommend them to friends and forum users. Thanks again John!

Remapped my A4 after a well known tuning company had before and what a difference! More mpg and power!

Just a quick thanks to all the guys at JFA. Had my brand new F-Type remapped having seen Jag bring out a '400' version of the same engine (and add a few thousand £'s to the price tag). The power increase is impressive c. 415 (from 375), but it's the torque that really grabs you as soon as you get back in the car. The power is so much more issuable and instant! Thanks guys…Matt.

I went into JFautomotive just to have a chat about a remap and DSG remap on my golf R after talking to lewis and him explaining everything in great detail about how they work and whats involved in the remap I had my car booked in for the following morning, Mike worked on my car on the rolling road along with John, I can't recommend JFautomotive enough great customer service and they really talk you through how it all works and keep you updated why they are working on the car with the power upgrades etc. My golf is up 55bhp and 132Nm tourque also im running a non-res milltek and the extra noises this produces now since the map is unreal, if you have a DSG box I would say get it remapped it improves it so much when you think it could never get better. Prices are very resonable for the results you get, If you are looking for a remap on your car head down to JF you will not be dissapointed. Thanks again guys.
Response : Your welcome Sam. Enjoy your Golf R and we will no doubt see you again for some more upgrades in the future.

Had my Toyota Hilux remapped and well what a difference, truck is much more responsive at all revs, pulls hard, acceleration is vastly improved and it is a bit more economical! Love driving it now, it don't feel strangled, I'll be taking more vehicles there in the future!
Response : Look forward to seeing yo again soon Adrian.

What can I say ……very surprised at the figures achieved by Mike, way over what I had optimistically hoped for. My 340i now has over 100hp more than stock and is now the truly heart stopping car that I hoped it would be from the start. Nice comfortable waiting area with coffee, biscuits and a viewing window so you can see what the noise is all about ! Would not hesitate to recommend JF Automotive to anyone looking to make their car more "interesting".

Monday 7 November 2016. I had my VW T5 mapped by the chaps and what a difference in performance now. It's a different vehicle. The lads at JFAutomotive really know their stuff and very professional and look after me, they kept me informed with all that they were doing. If your looking for a remap on your vehicle then these are the boys to talk to. I highly recommend them. Thanks Mike great job.

Many thanks guys for sorting my petrol Octavia 230 vrs. The results are very impressive. Acceleration is now very strong and the car is much quicker. It pulls earlier and harder in higher gears making gear changes less frequent. I am very pleased with the results. As far as mpg is concerned I have yet to do a long trip to compare but initially it's very similar to how it was before. I'm expecting better mpg on long cruises. On a recent gentle run 55mpg was indicated. Very impressed. Thanks again.

Was more than pleased with the work carried out, would not hesitate to recommend them.

Well pleased with the increased performance of my Bentley GT. I didn't expect such an improvement. The service received by JFAutomotive was professional and polite, I would recommend them.
