What does classic car tuning cost?
We like to start with our £150 engine health check. It establishes a starting point so we can discuss the findings and agree a plan. You can take the vehicle away and rebook, or arrange for it to stay for the work agreed.
A minor adjustment may be covered by the £150 check. Work such as re-jetting carburettors needs a tuning session, and any repairs or additional parts are discussed separately. The vehicle's condition and the work required determine the overall quote.

Rolling road tuning for classic cars
Our rolling road allows us to assess the engine under controlled load. Combined with gas analysis, it gives us information about how the carburettor and ignition setup behaves beyond idle and helps guide adjustments.
The appropriate session depends on whether the car is running correctly, needs fault investigation or is ready for tuning after mechanical changes. Read about our dyno testing and diagnostic sessions, and confirm the vehicle's suitability before booking.
Preparing your classic for a workshop visit
Send the specification and symptoms
Include the make, model, year, engine and carburettor or injection type. Tell us about ignition changes, engine work, the fuel used and when the problem appears: cold starting, idle, acceleration or sustained driving.
Old invoices, setup notes, jet or needle information and details of recent repairs can help explain what has already been tried. For a non-running vehicle, contact us before arranging transport.
Agree the work and appointment length
Re-jetting, repairs and conversions are quoted separately from the initial health check.
Ask about preparation and timing when booking. If a rolling road session is planned, review the dyno preparation guidance and disclose any leaks, running faults or drivetrain concerns beforehand.
