Before you travel
Questions from Blackpill customers
Practical information about the workshop, booking and what happens before tuning.
Where is the workshop?
All bookings are carried out at Llandow Tuning in Llandow, Vale of Glamorgan. This page covers services for Blackpill drivers; it is not a separate Blackpill branch.
Do you provide car remapping for Blackpill drivers?
Yes. Blackpill is one of the towns covered by our Swansea service area. Start with your registration or vehicle details so we can check the available tuning options.
Can I arrange a courtesy car?
Courtesy cars are available by arrangement for suitable bookings. Ask when you contact the workshop so availability can be confirmed.
What happens before the car is remapped?
We review the vehicle, fault history, condition and intended use before recommending a calibration or dyno session. A generic package is not assumed to be right for every car.
