Reviews of JF Automotive

C. M. C.

I recently ordered a Miltek exhaust system from JF Automotive it was a straightforward process once I entered my registration number everything was easy to complete. I also spoke direct to them on their on line chat which is great and they contacted me via chat to let me know my order was received and processed within minutes. My delivery was tracked via TNT and was very fast and without trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending JF Automotive and I will definitely use their services again.

I wanted to get my A6 Avant tuned, and these guys stood out above the other places I contacted. I'd not had my car modified before, so was looking to find a reputable company who could give me sound advice and quality service at a reasonable price. They didn't disappoint, and a special mention must go to Chris, who helped guide me through the whole process.

B. R.

Been here a couple of times with my 2017 Golf R (Stage 1 and then Stage 2). Both times have been great, really good communication, everything done on time. Parts were all supplied and fitted by them. All reasonably priced compared to everywhere else offering the same service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JF Automotive to anyone!

Z. C.

Absolutely superb, I only had a f57 Mini Cooper S 1.6, but after the remap the change was light and day, turned it into a mild hatch to a hot hatch. Very professional and well run outfit. Check out Ferrari centre a few doors down while you wait. JFA 100% recommended

M. G.

Brought my 2011 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI in for a stage 1 remap, the team provided a fantastic service, very honest and professional as well. They really completely transformed the overall performance of my car - night and day difference. Would definitely recommend it!

S. G. (.

Amazing people and the remap, gearbox mode and ghost was easy to install. Would 100% recommend these guys and very friendly with helpful suggestions to your vehicle can’t wait to return.

Firstly, great service and really helpful people at JF Automotive. The re-map on my 2.0 TSI 4-Motion T - ROC has added the missing touch from the car's performance. To start with, this was pretty much all the car I needed for day to day driving. However, despite our busy roads and traffic levels, it lacked that extra bit of mid-range power/torque for regular driving and especially overtaking manoeuvres. Well, the JF Automotive re-map has resolved that missing 'oomph' and I now have all the car's performance I need, thank you.

D. L.

What a fantastic operation these guys have from start to finish. Was greeted by Jack who explained what the process was and time scale to have my Kia proceed gt re mapped only to find out that the car had previously had it done somewhere else, didn’t know this when I bought the car. Was offered my deposit back straight away and they even apologised to me, they could easily of said that the car has been done and I wouldn’t of been any the wiser so many thanks for your honesty. Would highly recommend JFA to anyone . Thanks guys

J. P.

Absolutely brilliant from the first quote to the final invoice. These guys did a great job on my BMW 435, incredibly accommodating and informative considering it was my first time tuning a car. Very professional all the way through. Highly recommended. 👌🏼

K. C.

JFA a team with real professionals and proven competence at the service of its customers. Efficient and effective service. I received the response in record time. I wrote the received file on the calculator, and everything was perfect. I did a road test and I am very satisfied with the work. Thank you for your promptness in responding to my request and thank you for the quality of the work. See you soon for a new request.

L. R.

Best thing I have done to the car. Improved throttle response, eager to rev and more drivability. Instant and noticeable improvement as soon as I pulled away. Suffice to say I took the long way home. 100% everyone thinking about a re-map should do it. Only with JF Automotive of course.

S.

Just had a stage 1 remap installed on my Abarth 595. The whole process was pretty seamless from the selecting an online booking slot to having the remap done just 3 days later. The car delivers far more torque throughout the rev range and feels 'transformed' (especially mid range). The transformation is superb for the price. Abarths are so small and light that they really benifit from a tune up.

P. W.

Had a Quick Silver exhaust put on my 2020 Range Rover Svr yesterday, Omg the sound is amazing, quiet when needed and ASBO loud when I want it to be with a deep V8 gurgle, Love it, if your questioning weather to do it, DO IT! Chris and Jack were both amazing and helpful, even arranging to pick me up when no taxis were available, great recommendations, service and support. Use these guys!

S.

JFA are outstanding and very helpful and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to tunes and parts. You guys are absolute legends, thanks for all your help getting my 440i through stage 1 & 2. Kind regards Shaun

H. G.

Comfortable waiting room with coffee etc. If in for a long wait take a pillow as the settee is too low. Very clean and efficient, nice people too! Nice work on the car and the dyno run was interesting as well as the performance of the car after.

D. W.

Really professional company and a good bunch of guys. Very happy with the remap of my M2. Pulls much stronger and is more economical too. I would highly recommend this company

D. B.

Just had my Tdi dyno tested prior to getting it performance remapped. Very pleased with the result. The whole team at JFA are excellent. A very knowledgable and professional group of guys. I highly recommend this business.

A. B.

Great service from these guys was very honest and did not try and sell me things I didn’t need . Very happy with the service and would highly recommend

M. G.

Jf Automotive experience was great ! Nice bunch of people that know what there doing car feels completely different much more responsive through the Rev range I highly recommend this company to anyone thanks jf Automotive team

D. B.

Took my 2014 Audi RS6 in for JFA to work their magic with a stage 1 remap and they have absolutely transformed the car. It was already producing more power and torque than stock but they've managed to find 700BHP, over 1000Nm and make it eminently more driveable and responsive at the same time. I can't recommend them highly enough, they obviously enjoy what they're doing and do it very well. Thanks guys. I'm sure to be back for more at some time :)

E. H.

Great experience all round very helpful group of guys and more than happy to explain everything I asked! Great service and would highly recommend to anyone

V. K.

BMW F30 335d Stage 1 Tune - Efficient, Effective and Economic! What more can you want from a remap? John and his boys really know their stuff and work brilliantly as a team to ensure that you receive the best service possible... I've had remaps before where the ECU requires removal and had to wait around for at least 3 hours, JF Automotive did it in about 1.5 hours including before and after dyno runs, and the map is smoother and more efficient than the stock BMW map... As for the power, well that's our little secret ;) Definitely recommend!!! Thanks guys, Vince

T. M.

Great communication throughout the tuning process. Knowledgable staff and were happy to answer any questions. All round top service and worth the drive from Rochester.

D. M.

The guys at JF Automotive where brilliant and just got on with what they do best. They made sure that I had water and toilet facilities and where not fussed about me taking pictures and videos of the work 😊

T. P.

A huge thanks to John Ford and his team, Chris and Alex with teams at JF who worked on my Macan Turbo. They did a fantastic job with detailed advices. Now my can is like a completely different car as beast. I will definitely be my only choice for future work on my car. Thanks!

C. H.

Latest update. Another quality re-map, this time for My Peugeot 508 GT (yes, who knew this would work). It picks up nicely now thanks to the team at JF and makes driving it a real treat...always a pleasure!! Yet again Eughan and the team have worked their magic. New Audi, far more fun now!! April 2021. These guys were fast, very knowledge and made a great job of my Alfa! Even taking it out twice to get a little more out of it!! Just looking for this mad time to be over to book in my new car... Update. New Alfa Giulia has been given the JF Automotive treatment! great service and torque boost! Do it now...

R. S.

Chris and Jack were very helpful pre-sale; very informative and patient with my questions. The service on the day was very smooth & easy & my car feels so much more driveable - they certainly deliver on their claims! The lifetime warranty also gives extra peace of mind. I'll certainly be using JFA again in the future.

G.

I returned to JFA with my Cayenne Turbo yesterday (Friday 25th Oct) after they did my Lamborghini a few years ago. John worked his magic once again transforming the car, this guy really knows how to remap a car properly/technically and to provide the perfect end result... whilst my son Harry beat Noonoo on the Racing Simulator... Cheers guys for a great day, the coffee and hospitality to myself and Harry...

D. T.

SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND ATTENTIVE TO DETAIL, INSTANTLY FELT THE DIFFERENCE ON THE DRIVE HOME. FANTASTIC SERVICE!! AUDI SQ5 2016

M. C.

Amazing services and staff! Incredibly knowledgable and friendly. Don't think about it anymore if you're lurking around, they have 0% APR finance options if you're unsure about splashing money. John has helped make my car freaking BUTTTTTTTERY smooth. JUST DO IT!

T. P.

My enquiry came up with a set of figures which did not mean a great deal to me, but I was assured that a remap would greatly enhance the performance of my C Class. True to their word JF Automotive did the business, and I am more than happy with the results, and their service. I would highly recommend and use their services in the future.

M. G.

Had a wonderful experience at JF Automotive. The people there are awesome and very helpful. The tune was excellent on my Audi A3, its making great boost and pulls nicely now. Can't wait to get the more work done with yourself.

d. c.

These guys are amazing professional at their job in every angle. Came for a remap and Deyno session. Recommended.

C. F.

A good customer service experience and the engineers had very good knowledge, which out me at ease knowing my car was in good hands. They tune to order and offer certain guarantees, check out their website for details. My car has been tuned to perfection, very smooth and powerful. I'd recommend them to friends.

J. S.

Jaguar XF-S This is the 2nd car I’ve had done by the guys at JFA. I didn’t even consider anywhere else this time.. I have just bought the car and wasn’t completely happy with how it behaved through the gears or how the power was delivered. Although fine, I knew straight away that the guys here would transform it. I had the engine AND gearbox remapped and wow what a difference!! The gear change is better, smoother, quicker and now happens when you want it to...the engine is more responsive, WAY more powerful and any flat spots have been eliminated. The guys go about their work in a very professional way whilst always happy to take the time to chat whilst they work. The car is now so much better, I reckon I’ll just Get every car I ever buy from now on done!!! Well done JFA - AGAIN!!!!

A. P.

Through no fault of theirs a part had not arrived, when it did the booking process was simple. The service was excellent and the knowledge brilliant. I ll be saving up to use them again. Very, very pleased

p.

Just had an "eco map" on my 2.0l diesel. After 14 miles, I was returning 44mpg whereas before it was about 38. So, encouraging results so far. Professional guys, friendly and knowledgeable. However, they lose a star because a) they didn't put the ODB socket holder back in place (left it dangling) and b) I visited their website once and now I'm inundated with adverts for JFA on Google and Facebook (probably Twitter too). Stop with the tracking cookies please. Would I recommend and go back? Yes to both - definitely.

D.

Brilliant!!! Upgrade SL400 I wanted a security upgrade to my car and reached out to several specialists. I went to 8 people in London and everyone failed to install it. Most said that it wasn't possible at all even with guidance from the manufacturer. I didn't realise that their technician does large contract for for premium fleets like Royal mail, which speaks to their level of expertise. Anyway I took it here and in just 2 hours I got the upgrade installed. In total it was a 6 hour round trip and I cannot express how happy I am. Thank you very much guys!!!

T. D.

It’s not enough words to say how amazing job they did for my wife car ;) I’m so happy with them service they are fully professional guys ;) Many thanks one more time for great power experience;) fully recommend to any one who think about something more ;) just JFAutomotive !!!!!!!

D. R.

I visited JF Automotive for a Stage 1 ECU remap for my new Audi RS4. Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable staff with special thanks to John and Nuno. Impressive gains in both BHP (478 to 527) and Torque (648 to 788 Nm) which have transformed the performance of the car and resulted in a very enjoyable drive home!

L. B.

Fast, efficient and great service. Everything went smoothly and happy with the results of a stage 1 remap. I appreciated that they look personal safety seriously with masks being worn and social distancing being adhered to. Highly recommended to all.

m. h.

I have just had a performance tune on my bmw m240i andI am just over the moon with the outstanding performance. Greater acceleration and pulling power is wonderful. My fuel consumption is better aswell.Many thanks to all the staff at Maidstone. I would recomend JFA to everyone, Thankyou. Mike H. On Wednesday 25th August i had my golf gti Upgraded with stage one tune. Well all i can say really is once again JFAutomoti has done themselves proud. The performance is outstanding, Very smooth power and when you need it. Thanks once JFA. RECOMMENDED always.

M. O.

My Audi S8 has been transformed. 600+ bhp and a massive 1000 nm of torque. Whilst these figures itself are impressive, it is the drivability that stands out. Top job. Highly recommended.

R.

The team at JFA were very helpful and knowledgeable and the work was well priced compared to competitors. I had a Stage 1 remap on my Golf R and I'm extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend JFA for their overall advice and service.

a. c.

Had a map and downpipes fitted here yesterday and was very impressed. The car is now transformed. Sounds mental. Excellent price as well. Well happy thankyou.

M. K.

Professional service. My van drives much better,and less fuel consumption. Thanks.

N. D.

My experience with JF Automotive has completely changed the performance my Audi A8 the power now goes on and on. Making it a lot safer when pulling out and overtaking. So much smoother and a more pleasurable to drive. Thank you To all at JF Automotive

B.

Fantstic tuning company! So nice to work with them! They know how to make car faster, improve performance really perfect and make tune far better than any other tuner! Special thanks to John and Francesco for such professional support

K. c.

Good service. Nice bunch of people working here. It was great experience from start to finish. My car feels great guys. Good communication. Will ring you regarding my brothers car too. Cheers!

W. D.

Nice knowledgeable guys. Professional service although took a bit longer than I thought it would be. Car definitely feels more punchy.

D. H.

Fast, efficient and friendly service. Had a Remus exhaust fitted to my JCW Clubman and very satisfied with the result. Staff are passionate about vehicle tuning and modification. Highly recommended!

J. W.

I use JF Automotive as a dealer file service. Always get really fast service, customer waiting jobs are not problem, the files we get are always perfect and gains exceed customer expectations. Most importantly for me is the support we receive from all the staff is amazing, and anytime we have something a little out of the ordinary they always find a solution. If you looking at becoming a car tuner and need a file supplier I can’t recommend these guys enough.

J. B.

I have had my RCZ hdi remapped by JF Automotive today. It really has given the car a considerable boost in oomph. She wasn't slow beforehand, but now really does have some shove!! Thanks for everything guys! I cannot recommend you enough.

J. W.

The remap has made a world of difference to my Discovery 4 - the acceleration response time is a million times better and the engine is much more lively. The driving experience is now vastly improved. Thank you!

B. S.

I've always been reluctant to play about with cars ECU's etc as I've heard so much bad news of companies tuning their cars and their cars end up getting ruined or pushed beyond its limits, I did some extensive research and JFA are up there with the best top tuners, difference is they know their stuff they teach you a thing or two aswel, the website is very informative and the whole booking process is very professional. I took my bmw 520d for DPF and EGR delete followed by a remap as my car was very sluggish and kept going in to limp mode due to blocked components and it was more cost efficient to have it removed rather than pay bmw £1800 just for a DPF! my car is so much more responsive and smoother on the gear changes and drives so much better with their custom programmed map. Very friendly and top service from arrival to picking the car up and would recommend to anyone 5 stars ***** Bobby Uppal.

H.

Very easy to book up, had remap, upgraded injectors and cobra turbo back exhaust. Sounds Fantastic! Massive improvement on performance. Would highly recommend this garage. Thanks guys 👍

R. B.

Popped over to JF Auto during the week to see what the guys could do with my Jaguar XF, I had never considered remapping my car for economy and also performance and before the visit had no idea of the process any establishment would follow. On arrival John had chatted to me of the options available and I was able to get the remap there and then. From 188bhp I gained 45hp taking my engine to 232bhp, when I left I was totally amazed with the performance of my car for acceleration and performance. Most importantly the refinement of the drive of my car has not been compromised and I would recommend any drivers to get their cars remapped here too. The remap took a few hours and during that time I was able to chat to the team about the process they follow, all of the guys here certainly know their trade and I felt very comfortable with their personable and friendly disposition. Thank you John and the team!

m. s.

Had gear box remap today on my Audi SQ5 and the results are fantastic. From pulling away normal smoother gear change. Dynamic mode and launch control absolutely fantastic. Well done to john and his team Well happy.

S. S.

Absolutely incredible!! Great people with outstanding work ethics. I'm a nightmare to deal with as I'm extremely fussy about my car. JFA completely understood, were incredibly patient with my and carried out some amazing work on my RS5. The journey to their garage is almost 1.5 hours. There are many other garages closer to home, but after plenty of research they were the ones I trusted. I'll be returning in the future for more upgrades. Thank you so much John and Nuno. :-)

L. O.

I am one of Jfautomotive file service users, we moved to JFA after being constantly let down by our previous tuner..... I went down to jfautomotive nearly one year ago with a mk7 golf gti, i wanted to see what they could offer ourselves in terms of file service and my God did they deliver!!! The results we witnessed was incredible! Since then we have tuned over 150 vehicles using their service and I can safely say it has been brilliant for our business. My remap turnover is up by 40% over previous year but better still my confidence in the files we use is at an all time high. I am always comfortable knowing a vehicle has gone away being mapped to it's best ability. One last thing I would specify is just because another file service may claim better gains in there files, ask to see dyno comparisons and I guarantee they wont be able to deliver. That's one other thing you can be assured with jfautomotive is that they have tested that file on there 4wd dyno and can prove what there file can produce.

R. W.

Having read the reviews and seen the types of cars this company tunes I thought I’d give them a go with my 2.0tdi A3. They answered the phone immediately and booked me in the following day. The results were immediately noticeable and the guy mapping by it told me they are slightly conservative to ensure maximum reliability. I’m pleased to say that the car feels much better now and even my brother who drives a Civic type-R commented on how hard it pulls. These guys know their stuff and I’m over the moon with the service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

J. H.

Great service from start to finish. Emails answered quickly and a very straightforward booking and payment option. Would reccomend.

R. S.

Has transformed the 420i completely. Can’t highly recommend this company enough. Great service and awesome results. Going to book my other vehicles into be remapped too.

M. S.

Got one car remapped here and was fantastic, meaning on the new car we took it back and got a tuning module put on. Really good customer service and have a solution to meet all needs.

J. L.

The guys did a great job on my Abarth 595, which now drives superbly and has had a great bump to overall power and torque. Would definitely recommend

P. T.

I have used J F Automotive to tune up a few of my cars over the past couple of years and have found the company always ready to give you constructive advise in tuning my cars to my requirements. I have had good telephone conversations with the team about my needs and have always been given good advice and received good service and products from the team. I have recommended JF Automotive to my friends as I feel it’s a company who treasure their old and new customers giving online and in house support with their products.

b. e.

Great service from the team at JFA. An impromptu visit to the team last Saturday has resulting in me on the waiting list for my transit connect software upgrade and getting my 996 turbo stage one remapped. More than pleased with the end results

S. B.

Couldn't fault the service from these guys. From quick responses over email and FB messenger to top quality service and a very satisfied customer!

A. H.

These guys have absolutely revolutionised my RS4 B9! 👍🤣😆 Massive improvement in torque and power, basically it's by far the best estate car on the road now. The new RS6 would get left behind , as it's 395kgs heavier and isn't as a nimble. On a typical English road it wouldn't keep up on the motorway it would be very close! We are talking 3.1 secs 0-60. I have had 186mph on a runway, 2 up. Thanks chaps.

W. C.

Staff are nice, everything is well explained. My car is a f22 218d and now making roughly 200 bhp and 470nm torque. Probably the best remap can be offered in the UK. Will definitely come back again when I get another cat

T. K.

Just an honest review to try and help you maybe improve things, Communication before hand excellent helpful and knowledgable, But on the day it is a very different experience,very pleasant welcome take car keys then nothing, for three hours, no explanation of what they will do, how they are getting on, people like to know what is being done to their pride and joy, just an update check we are ok, how long it will be, maybe a tv in the waiting area, just very boring to sit in for hours with no interaction, I also did mention changing air filter as an option or exhaust, nobody spoke to me about this, more business more money, could we have removed the speed limiter, again a conversation we could have had, not every excellent mechanic is maybe front of of house ?, again this is not a compliant in any way, the end result was as agreed, but the experience could have been better and maybe a missed opportunity for more business, do I have more vehicles that could be remapped, an opportunity missed,

D. B.

This is the second car JF have mapped for me and there is no one else I would use. I even took my son for his BMW remap. Good, professional, friendly service. Thanks guy's.

V. R.

Fantastic service by JFAutomotive. Customer support always immediate and thorough. Had a stage 1 remap with Remus catback exhaust on my BMW 440i. Iain went through all the steps concisely. Results were phenomenal. Have had a few cars done but never have I noticed such a change. Not only did I get on average 22% extra power and torque throughout the range but it feels more urgent. At low speeds and cruising the car feels no different, but when the pedal is down it absolutely goes. Will only come back here now in the future! Thanks again guys!

a. b.

BMW 330d performance remap I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone considering having this done. The vehicle has been completely transformed. Incredible improvements in power and torque and slightly improved mpg. The service was fast and efficient with the car being booked in on extremely short notice. The cost was very competitive when you consider what some companies charge for this service.

s. t.

great bunch of guys who were very professional,i had a ghost immobiliser fitted,and im a very satisfied customer,i shall be returning when i want my tuning upgrades. excellent.

p.

Had my X5 4.0 M Sport re mapped last year and what a difference returned today and had the gearbox stage 3 re mapped and WOW!!!! what a difference was told it would be but thought that was just sales talk but how wrong was I totally different car.

D. R.

I have used JF Automotive for several of my cars now and everytime they make a great car even better!! John and the team really know their stuff and how to get the car performing to it’s best. A few days ago I took my work daily Seat Leon fr 184tdi and I’m pleased to say it’s transformed the car 😊 it’s running around 240hp & 500nm torque and my mpg is significantly better too. I Highly recommend John and his team

m. K.

Absolutely the best tuner on the market. I've remap few cars in the past in different garages but these Boys know what they are doing they done more then I expected. 5 of 5

C. C.

Had the xHP stage 3 gearbox tune and paddle rewire done on my BMW 335d (e91) today. After a 3hr drive home I can confirm that the car is transformed and I can 100% recommend this modification - the reviews I read had suggested that I wouldn't be disappointed and I really can't rate this highly enough. JFA offered a very good service. Thank you Iain.

D. L.

My 330i was engine and gearbox were remapped over a year ago. The engines performance is greatly improved together with the fuel economy, the gear box change is faster without lag and is much smoother. I highly recommend the upgrade. David Ledward

G. R.

My Audi has been in twice to JFA very happy with the results each time. Friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend them to anyone wanting their pride and joy tuned.

P. T.

Recently I had yet another one of my cars remapped by John and his crew. After waiting months for VW Uk to make up there mind if my car needed to be recalled under these emission scams I bit the bullet and booked my car in. I have a VW Jetta MK6 diesel DSG so decided to go with the full option to me which was performance engine remap and also the DSG gearbox mapped to suit . After 4 hours I was back in my car driving down the motorway smiling at the substantial difference the work carried out had made to the car. Thank you John and all the staff at JF Automotive for yet again putting a smile on my face when driving this car . Well it’s been some years since I had my Jetta mapped so I thought I would get it rolling road checked to make sure it’s still performing well. I arrived early as requested and at 08:00 am the car was all strapped onto the machine and being tested . The results were very good and now I have an up to date print out of the cars performance for the new owner when I come to sell the car.

T. H.

Excellent service, ECU remap worked perfectly, very smooth power band. Greatly improved torque and bhp. Very pleased. Brings a regular smile to my face!

G. B.

Excellent service. JF carried out stage 1 engine tune and DSG remap on my VW Passat Alltrack. The results were amazing. Not only does the car have a bit more grunt but the throttle response and gearbox performance are brilliant!! Thanks JF Automoive.

J. D.

Chris and the team did a great job on my BMW M850i - full Remus exhaust fitted - next up tuning!

R. S.

Nissan Navara 3.0 V6 my/2012: I have put a few hundred miles on the truck since the remap and I am extremely impressed all round. It’s much more responsive, the turbo lag is much less of an issue and it pulls like a train between 2k and 3k rpm! There is a hugely impressive increase in torque in that rev range. Driving more sensibly, the computer indicated it is achieving 40mpg…. which is a good 4 to 5 mpg than it has ever indicated before! Excellent result all round and really impressed with the JF Automotive remap.

M. S.

Certainly seem to know what they’re doing, and can do things that others more local to me can’t. Excellent communication too!

S. H.

Brilliant service, fast and efficient, performance and torque vastly improved

s.

Friendly, knowledgeable guys and managed to get what I expected out of the car. DSG map is smooth but too early to judge yet. Tried a launch (on an country empty lane) and I can't believe how much of a difference... 4.34 to 4.4 ish sec from 4.7 sometimes 4.8 sec (99+ fuel only). That's a strong increase... My fuel consumption probably won't improve with my heavy foot 😅 Definitely recommend

B. H.

The guys were professional, timely and courteous in all dealings surrounding my '14 640d remap. Now at 391hp with a huge increase in torque. Excellent results and a reasonable price. Very happy.

R. A.

I’m currently running a JF Tune and GTS software updates on my F80 M3. My car has been transformed by both updates and well worth the money. Their approach and customer service is always professional and nothing is too much trouble.

L. M. C. L.

We use JF Automotive files as part of thier dealer network. We always find the files excellent with a fast response rate and customer back up. Also when customers ask about the files we are more than happy to point to their website as a fast and easy reference

S. E.

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.

M.

Awesome Job! Car is so much more responsive. Very informative staff who answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this professional company. Thanks again for a job well done 😊

s. d.

ASTONISHING! Having considered the possibility of giving my previous car a performance re-map, but never getting -round to it, I’m so pleased that I decided to do so on my Porsche Cayenne 3.0 TDI and even more pleased that I selected John and his team at J.F Automotive to do the work. Their knowledge and professionalism, is truly outstanding. I discussed the Performance improvements available with John, the MD at J F Automotive at some length and finally opted for a STAGE 1 PERFORMANCE REMAP – (up from 245BHP to 295BHP), Plus a GEARBOX TUNE to better handle the increased torque up from 550Nm to 636 Nm, give me increased shift response and increased red line performance. What a difference. Already a superb SUV with a great blend of sports car agility and pace, the PERFORMANCE REMAPPING and GEARBOX TUNING have completely transformed the driving experience. The torque spread is truly amazing, and the acceleration in sport mode - WOW! Just a tweak from my right foot smacks my back into the seat and brings a big smile to my face. You exceeded my best expectations Thank you Steve Sussex

Contacted them recently for a stage 1 ECU tuning and was impressed with the professionalism patience and amiability. I can confirm that the high rating on Google is well deserved

We always send our customers over to JF Automotive when they are looking to get a remap and the customers always come back to us saying how impressed they were with the service and the difference the remap has made to their vehicle. Having delt with other tuning companies in the past we can easily say that JF Automotive are one of, if not the best tuning company in the UK.

L. C.

Very happy customer. First visit gave my little shopping bag on steroids more umpf and second sorted out better sound. Guys know what they are doing and I am happy with the result. Recommended.

D. M.

Very happy with my experience at JF Automotive my SQ5 had a stage 1 re-map and has given me more midrange pull and torque. Will be bringing in my S3 very soon for the same.

A.

BMW X1 engine & autobox remaped by JF Automotive. Much more enjoyable now. 2nd time using these guys & will be back again. Cheers fellas.

C. B.

What can I say about JFA, apart from what amazing job they have done yet again. The performance I have gained from Stage 2 + is amazing, and makes me smile everytime I drive the car. The knowledge they have is second to none. Thank you JFA

A. E.

Had my van remapped and speed limiter removed, I went with JF Automotive after reading their reviews. They are well deserved, great job and great guys!

D. S.

I had a DSG remap on my Octavia VRS. This has made a world of difference to the everyday use of the gearbox and has made using manual and sport mode much smoother. There appears to be a bit more torque and is more responsive. Recommended, cheers guys.

C. H.

Had my last 3 cars worked on by JF and never had a single problem, this time round you can really feel the performance increase, bizarrely the MPG has also improved! Superb job as usual :)

J. O.

Had a problem with DPF on my 145000 mile Renault Megane 1.9d Estate. These guy's fixed it and did a remap.Dropped the car off about 9am returned at 2 drove away.Super service,car drives great, improved perfomance and mpg. Highly recommended.Thanks John.

B. M.

Great service and highly recommended. I booked in for a Performance and Gear Box remap but turned out that the vehicle was already remapped, so ended up just needing the Gear Box remap which has transformed the driving experience.

D. C.

I’d say i’m a difficult customer to please, wanting to know the far end of a fart before I purchase anything. After having a few cars being remapped and plug in modules for a number of my past motors I was a little dubious to stick a box on a £72k RS5, the team were able to answer all my questions, put my mind at rest and supply a kit posted with simple installation instructions and what has it done, turned my already fast car into a posessed version of what it was without compromising on fuel efficiency. Well done guys, you’re at the top of what you do. With the RS5 B9 ecu currently still locked this is a good way to go. 0-60mph 3.1s is achieveable - what else can keep up with this!? Not much I can tell you

R. F.

4 hours work on my C63S has given it a proper lift in both BHP/torque. Thanks

S. G.

Really great customer service . So nice to deal with real staff that Know what there doing in a good time a very fair price , i cant recommend these guys enough . Steve

T. C.

Had my CLA250 4Matic remap by the guys at JF Automotive. It's a totally different car. Great customer service, very responsive via email and phone. Attention to detail is second to none.

N. S.

Came in for a stage 1 performance remap. Unbelievable results!! The car is a different animal. Highly recommend with amazing service. Will definitely use again.

S. p.

Had my Honda Civic mapped and wow what a difference loads my power and torque. Great bunch of friendly staff and able to talk about what you want and need to improve your car 100% happy thank you

H. T.

Jon and the team are just the best. My boring 2L diesel 2 Series beamer now goes like an M6! And... amazingly, the overall monthly mpg has gone up by over 10%, so the map has paid for itself already!

C.

Second car I have taken here, and like last time, more than happy with service. To reiterate my last review, staff, product and service, second to none. Thanks guys!

T. H.

Unbeatable customer service, car drives better then ever feels amazing. Well worth the money and a flawless job done one the car.

Z. F.

I have worked with John for several years, he is honest and reliable and runs a tight ship. This is the reason my Lamborghini's and Ferrari's only use his facility. We will be developing a new hyper car on his dyne in the very near future so watch this space. Jason

O. C.

Great service, great map. Even had it taken off and put back on a couple of times for warranty purposes and they did that for free. Will use on my other vehicles for certain.

S. R.

Great service. In for a dyno. Very knowledgeable.

A. T.

Simply the best 👍👍 Recommend 100% top JF Automotive

B. C.

A fast and efficient service making my Abarth, errr....faster and more efficient!. Very pleased!

n. f.

I run a garage near to JFA and they carry out all my mapping and Ecu adjustments. Always get things done as soon as they can so I can get the cars back to my customers.

B. O.

T31 Nissan X Trail 173hp Aventura, Had John's team remove the DPF and remap the ECU to take into account the loss of the DPF, also 17hp increase and 40 Nm torque increase. A relief to get rid of the troublsome DPF the only bad thing on the car. Car seems "Livelier" and there is a small increase in mpg as predicted. I am looking forward to being able to get the car into 6th gear on the motorway when towing my caravan, when I do I'll let you know. :-0)

S. W.

John worked on my eclass 350 2 years ago and it's been one of the most rapid machines I've come up against. 350 bhp and 800 torque. Well worth the money in my eyes.

A. P.

Very happy with the remap of my 2009 E280 CDI. Pulls like a Spartan and has returned better MPG. Very good value for money!

G. D.

Fantastic customer service with honest information and utmost care taken with my pride and joy. Will be back for tuning after some light modifications.

A. R.

Boss guys, all genuine guys, will explain everything they do in detail and actually enjoy what they do as almost a hobby rather than a job, understanding and will help you in anyway they can, not only did they map my car they gave directions too food and made a coffee and even allowed us to use the simulator while we were there. Honest bunch of guys will be go back plenty infact going back next week to finish installing the mid-range part of my map as unfortunately we ran out of time and for once you can see it isn't because they stalled or were lazy as they are constantly on their feet doing work the whole day and won't even complain or get irritated even though the work done meant they were late leaving even though it was not finished, if your looking for somewhere proper to get maps done safely and always be in the know of the status they are the best place- BMW F20 1 Series.

G. H.

5 Star remapping service from JF Automotive, fuel economy up by 4-5mpg with more power too. Professional company with a great outlook.

S. H.

JFA have been extremely professional and dedicated to getting the most out of my car. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

R. S.

Truly fantastic service, had my Mercedes booked in for engine and gearbox remap, and was very pleased with the quality of work and kindness of the staff, the free drinks help big time lol a great company with fantastic knowledge and if your thinking about remapping or having any car works done then these guys are a must to use :) Well done keep up the great work guys !

P. C.

honestly, this could not be a nicer experience, I talked to the sales guy so helpful and friendly, and the car!!! when I left I swear it was not the same the acceleration was amazing the best money I have spent, the whole experience perfect

a. g.
