I made the lazy, workshy layabout come to me....

'Cos I couldn't be bothered to go to him.....

(He does quite a lot of work all over the country, so he gets just about everywhere, once in while.)

An easy one may take two hours, mine had boost control issues and took three !

dunx

P.S. Soon be heading back this way......

I do not have my own premises and I do no work from my house other than the very odd occasion.
A proper business (limited company) vat registered, I have an agreement with SW Autos Ltd - Kent's Performance Tuning experts - Volvo specialists - plus General Car Maintenance, Vehicle Repairs and Servicing and meet customers there if they come to me.. as they have a fully equipped workshop if needed.. or I use Surrey Rolling Road or I am travelling about the country mobile (or europe), mapping cars etc.. I have considered renting a unit but as 75% of the time I am travelling mapping if I had a unit it would be unused most of the time which is no good with people turning up expecting me to be there and paying for unused unit etc.
also I enjoy mapping a hell of a lot and it is a passion as well as a living, I would hate to increase my over heads and add stress and increase in costs to something I really enjoy doing.

Hope that makes sense

JGM fitted and mapped a simtek for me last month. I met him at scoobyworld, I travelled from Glasgow, and im very happy with the results. It totally transformed the car and I would highly reccomend him to anyone.


Took about 2 hours or so.

You have made a good choice to let JGM fettle your car, infact that is quite a rude statement. It should read transform your car!
I flew Simon to Germany to map my car and a few others, i dont think you could get a better pre map, map, post map advice from any other tuner! JGM is not just a mapper he knows what works and what doesnt!

I was very impressed by the way he dealt with things i flew him to Northern Ireland to map 12 cars, only 2 cars were not completed through no fault of JGM there were other technical issues nothing to do with JGM whatsoever. All the guys he mapped are over the moon and we are going to be graced by the Green Monster in September to remap around an additional 8 cars and a few that have had further mods.

I will always use JGM i wont go elsewhere as i dont feel the need.

Im certain you will be a happy bunny after the map session if you have done your bit right!

Definitely a good choice going with JGM. He knows his stuff and you will NOT be disappointed. Just make sure you choose an appropriate route home as you will not be able to keep the smile off your face!
