Mobile Remapping

Can My Car Be Remapped at Home?

21 October 2026

The short answer

Often, yes. If your ECU can be read and written through the diagnostic port and the location is suitable, a mobile appointment at home or work is usually possible. Some ECUs and jobs need our Slough workshop.

Mobile compatibility

Compatibility depends on the ECU, not the car's age or brand alone. We check the exact engine and ECU before offering a mobile visit.

Location

We need a safe, legal place to park with the car accessible. Private driveways and permitted workplace parking work well. Tell us the postcode and any access restrictions.

ECU unlock requirements

Some newer ECUs are protected and must be unlocked, sometimes by removing the ECU. That work is usually done in the workshop.

Preparing for the appointment

  • A healthy battery, or the car parked where a support charger can reach.
  • No warning lights, or tell us about them in advance.
  • Keys and any locking wheel nut or security codes available.
  • Enough time: most software work takes a couple of hours.

When the workshop is better

Hardware fitting, Stage 2, gearbox work and bench unlocks are better suited to the Slough workshop.

    First time tuning my car. Didn’t know what to expect but it was amazing. They explained everything to me clearly, how it works etc and before you know it my car was ready. 10/10 polite service. Will be coming back in the future with serious motors, can tell these guys are professionals judging by tons of performance cars outside.

    Really five star service I’ve only got my car the day before I messaged on a Sunday just as an inquiry was more than Happy to take time of the day on a Sunday to fit me in last minute just want to think the whole team very professional and I absolutely love my car. I felt an instant power boost and explained everything to me and packages that I can definitely most likely in the future upgrade to will be definitely coming again.

    STX Tuning were absolutely brilliant. The service was super fast — same day turnaround — and they solved an issue with my car that a main dealer claimed would cost me thousands to fix. It turned out the expensive repair wasn’t even necessary, and STX handled it quickly and professionally. Honest, efficient, and highly recommended!

    STX were great! (its within ONYX which confused me when I got there, no biggy, just for anyone else reading it). I happened to be arriving when a guy must have been starting their shift, super helpful and got me to the right person. On the way in they even took the time to show my son the Lambo they had, this type of service is so nice to receive. The young guy we spotted fitting the wheels later on, thank you! In for a Stage 1 remap, all done in 30 minutes, and car drives brilliantly and exceeded expectations. Also at a great price as well. All staff I met were super nice and helpful. Credit to you guys! I will definitely be choose these guys going forward! Highly recommend.
