Mapping Prices

[RobMGti 0]

I thought it may be of benefit to people on the forum to have an up to date list to work from of what companies charge for a map. Im aware some are done per hours and some are a flat rates but i still think it may be of use. Im not looking for peoples comments regarding how good the mapper is (that is up to the individual to decide after researching them) just a price.

 

Here are the ones im aware of looking at recent posts and my own research. - UPDATED

 

Emerald - £250+Vat Flat Rate

ChipWizards - £450+Vat

SBC - £

Longmans - £

HiFlowHeads - £Waiting for Andy to phone me back today, will update when have it

Mikeanics - £50+Vat for first hour, £30+Vat per hour after that

TMS - £420+Vat flat rate (Do NOT Map Emerald ECU's at all)

Tuning Jap - £100/Hr+VAT

Track and Road - £300 flat rate

 

Please add any you know of below

That per hour Rob or just for the use of the RR and mapping is extra?

A rolling road session is £40 plus VAT and I presume it's an hourly rate.

Longmans have there own, Or they did a few years back when I was there, Owens always get good results

But the price of Chipwizards hardly seems worth mucking around with the std ECU, I was going that route but now I think not

Exactly what I was thinking - when it was £300 odd it was tempting, but £450 hardly seems like good value.

He's obviously inflating his price as he's got a monopoly and people might be prepared to pay that as they have saved on buying the 2nd hand ECU in the first place. Shame really

Wayne mentioned upping his charges to try to re-coup some of the money he has spent getting his own place sorted out. Didn't know it would be a 50% hike though.

 

Still, £30 for a loom & ecu from a breakers with all sensors etc & then £450 mapping isn't that bad really imo. Emerald etc would more if there wasn't a base map to start from.

That is true, But what if you want a remap down the line?, Short term = Cheap long term Not,

[pug_ham 244 3 Cars]

Short term = Cheap long term Not,

Aren't they all?

 

If you change engine spec frequently it'll cost for a re-map on any if your not home tweeking & hoping for the best.

If you buy an aftermarket ECU and you're paying by the hour, you should recoup the cost of chip wizards mapping after two sessions. When john Read had his rollers I paid £300 for the inital set up and £100 a time for remaps later. Which was fair given the time and effort he put into it. I

 

But the truth is Chipwizards can charge what he likes as long as people continue to pay it?
