Our Services

If a warning light's on, something's intermittent, or a previous garage couldn't pin it down — we'll find it. Dealer-grade scanners across BMW, VAG, Mercedes, Ford and more, plus the experience to interpret the codes properly rather than just clearing them.

What's Included

• Full OBD & manufacturer-specific fault scan
• Live data analysis (sensors, fuel trims, timing)
• Electrical testing — wiring, grounds, parasitic drain
• ECU communication diagnostics
• Written report with recommended remedy and quote

Common Issues We Find

• Misfires & rough running
• Transmission faults & mechatronic issues
• Charging system & battery drain
• ABS, traction control & SRS warnings

Bolt-ons that actually do something. We won't sell you a £1,000 intake that nets you 4 horsepower. We spec mods that work together — and we'll tell you straight if a part isn't worth the money.

What We Fit

• Cold-air & carbon intake systems
• Catless & high-flow downpipes
• Intercoolers & charge pipes
• Turbo upgrades (hybrids & full replacements)
• Brake upgrades — pads, lines, big-brake kits
• Suspension — coilovers, lowering springs, geometry

BMW Specialisms

• 4-cyl: N20, N26, B48
• 6-cyl: N55, B58, S55, S58
• V8: N63, N63TU, S63, S63TU
• F-chassis & G-chassis — daily and M-division builds

Authorised Bootmod3 dealers. We focus on BMW exclusively for ECU tuning — it's where we have the deepest experience, the dealer accounts and the data-logging tools to do the job properly. From a clean OTS map flash to a fully custom calibration, every tune is supported, road-tested and backed up.

What You Get With Bootmod3

• 1× OTS (off-the-shelf) map included with every license
• On-the-fly map switching — 4 slots, no laptop required
• 80+ data-log channels for live tuning & diagnostics

• iOS & Android app — flash and monitor from your phone
• Cloud-based — always updating, no firmware lock-in
• Custom map upgrades available from in-house calibrators

BMW Platforms We Tune

• 4-cylinder: N20, N26, B48
• 6-cylinder: N54, N55, B58, S55, S58
• V8: N63, N63TU, S63, S63TU

Authorised xHP dealers. A stock BMW gearbox is conservatively programmed — soft shifts, lazy downshifts, conservative torque limits. xHP rewrites the transmission control unit (TCU) so the gearbox actually uses what it's capable of. The natural counterpart to a Bootmod3 ECU tune.

What You Get With xHP

• OTS map tiers — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 included
• Quicker, sharper, firmer shifts
• Adjusted shift points, torque limits & lock-up behaviour
• Launch control improvements on supported platforms
• Throttle blip on downshifts (supported platforms)
• iOS & Android app — unlimited flashing on a single VIN
• Fully reversible — stock files archived

Supported Gearboxes

• ZF 6HP — 6HP19, 6HP21, 6HP26, 6HP28 (E-chassis)
• ZF 8HP — 8HP45, 8HP50, 8HP70, 8HP90 incl. xDrive (F & G-chassis)
• 7-Speed DCT — E-series & F-series BMWs

Pairs naturally with a Bootmod3 ECU tune — bundled fitting available when you book both together.

Class 4 (cars and small vans), Class 5 (private passenger vehicles, 13+ seats) and Class 7 (light commercials up to 3,500kg). Servicing to manufacturer schedules with genuine or OEM-equivalent parts.

MOT Classes

• Class 4 — cars, taxis, light vans up to 3,000kg
• Class 5 — private passenger vehicles with 13+ seats
• Class 7 — goods vehicles 3,000kg–3,500kg

Service Types

• Minor Service — oil & oil filter change plus full safety inspection
• Full Service — minor service plus spark plugs, air filter and cabin / pollen filter
• Cambelt, water pump and timing chain replacements quoted separately to manufacturer schedule

Full 3D laser wheel alignment using sensor-based equipment that reads camber, caster, toe and thrust angle to manufacturer tolerances. We don't eyeball it, and we don't use string. The numbers are right or the car doesn't leave.

What's Included

• Full 3D scan of all four wheels
• Front & rear camber, caster, toe & thrust angle measurement
• Adjustment to manufacturer specification (or your spec for tracked / lowered cars)
• Before / after printout with all readings
• Tyre wear inspection — we'll flag uneven wear & the cause

When You Need One

• After hitting a kerb or pothole hard
• After fitting new tyres, suspension, lowering springs or coilovers
• If the car pulls to one side or the steering wheel is off-centre
• Uneven or premature tyre wear
• Once a year as part of regular maintenance

Full air conditioning regas service — recover, vacuum-test, recharge to manufacturer spec, and check operation. We service both R134a (older systems) and R1234yf (modern systems) refrigerants.

What We Do

• Refrigerant recovery & weight check
• Vacuum & leak test
• Recharge with the correct gas type and weight for your vehicle
• Compressor & vent temperature check
• Anti-bacterial cabin treatment available on request

R134a vs R1234yf

• R134a — pre-2017 vehicles. Cheaper to regas.
• R1234yf — 2017-onwards. Mandatory for newer cars; the gas itself is more expensive, hence the price difference.
• Send us your reg and we'll come back with the exact price.

Pricing varies by gas type and how much refrigerant the system needs. Drop us your reg for an exact figure.

The unglamorous stuff that keeps a car on the road and out of the AA's hands. We've replaced enough clutches, timing chains and DSG mechatronics to do them in our sleep — but we don't.

Common Jobs

• Clutch & flywheel replacement
• Timing chain / belt & tensioner kits
• DSG mechatronic repairs & service
• Suspension components — wishbones, bushes, top mounts
• Brake systems — discs, pads, calipers, master cylinders
• Cooling — water pumps, thermostats, expansion tanks
• Head gasket replacement
• Engine & gearbox swaps

Supply and fit, or fit-only on parts you've already got. We work with all the major brands and platforms — clean installs, proper torque specs, no leaks, no rattles.

What We Fit

• Catless & high-flow downpipes (track / off-road use)
• Branded catback systems — Akrapovič, Milltek, Remus, Scorpion, Eisenmann
• Valved active exhaust systems
• Manifold, mid-pipe and rear-section swaps
• Tip swaps & OEM-style upgrades
• Customer-supplied parts welcome — fitting only quotes available

We don't manufacture exhausts in-house. If you want something bespoke, we can recommend trusted fabrication partners and handle the install end.

Bring us a kit, or let us source one for you. Bodykit work is too case-by-case for fixed pricing — we'll spec the parts, the prep and the install around the car you've got and the finish you're after, then quote it straight.

Two Ways To Do It

• You supply, we fit — bring your own kit and we'll handle the install, alignment and finish. Quoted by labour.
• We source & fit — tell us the look, we'll find the right kit and quote supply + fitting as one job.

What We Handle

• OEM-style splitters, diffusers & sideskirt fitting
• Full bodykit installation & alignment
• Carbon & forged-carbon component install
• Fibreglass & ABS repair / modification
• Paint-shop liaison for colour matching

No two bodykit jobs are the same. Send us photos of your car and the kit you're considering — we'll come back with a real number.
