I've been running a Powerstation map on my 05 WRX for about 3.5 years now with now problems at all. They have a very professional setup that can only be likened to a operating theatre. This is not your average back street, under the arches place.

They are very well respected, my bug had a stage 1 from them and was faultless on it. But you do pay for it!

Default powerstation

went there the other day for some new front pads on my blob eye wagon . booked the appointment a week earlier turned up on the day turned round to me and said didn't have pads but might have some but more expensive . as you can expect i was pissed and made him aware of it ... too his credit he did offer to fit pads for free next week but i was desperate for pads . so he sorted something out .

i also talked to one of the mechanics who i found great and down to earth and felt confident about working on my car ..

in the end i also had there laser 4 wheel alignment

as above there workshop is clinical and professional and there work what i have had from them no problems

to sum it up professional tuner money orinated

I'm not 100% convinced they're customer friendly (unless you've gott he cash of course)

Blob map by them was average to say the least (with CEL light issues which, in the end, I gave up letting them try to sort, took it to Bob Rawle, who sorted the CEL and made the car much more responsive ( cost another £650 BTW).

I also mistakenly thought Iain was still there last week, all I needed was use of a telephone (forgot my mobile) and Iain's number... it turned out to be to much hassle (after much paperwork shuffling, while sat in front of a pc)... again... I gave up and found a payphone.... "not very helpful unless you're paying them money" sums it up.
