Recommended Revo Specialist in South

Xleon · 09-05-2007, 18:54

I've got a choice between Owen Developments of Oxford (who have not replied to my emails of a few days ago) and Vag Techniques of Henley-On-Thames (who replied within an hour of sending!)

Anyone had any experience of either of these guys? For me, one is currently out in front, but I'd welcome any experiences anyone has with the above two companies with regards Revo Remapping.

Thanks.

JKM have to be worth a try

Thanks, I'll keep them as a backup option.
(Shame they are over 3 times the distance of the other two)

Choosing the dealer carefully is often worth the extra few miles. Some REVO dealers are definately better than others.

I have nothing but praise for JKM, I'm afradi I know nothing of the other dealers you mention.

Harry_vRS · 10-05-2007, 14:33

Yep, JKM are worth the extra mile(s)

NeilS · 14-05-2007, 21:32

Another shout here for JKM and their quality and honesty. I recommend you give them a call and ask them for their advice on the Revo remap for your engine and then decide who you want to trust the work to.

TortRS · 14-05-2007, 21:46

Hi, passing through and noticed the posts on Revo specialists, had my Octi Revo 'd by JKM just over a week ago. Can not recommend them highly enough.

. Nice helpful bunch of people. Coffee's good too.

Stuart_J · 15-05-2007, 05:41

Dare I be boring & say JKM as well

Makefish · 21-05-2007, 23:02

Absolute no-brainer, JKM

. Have you been yet?.

Wardy · 21-05-2007, 23:39

JKM seems to be out in front!

Anyone got an RR results for the Fab vRS, with their Revo map?

Cheers,
Steve

There are a few shown here from the last RR Day including a Stock Fabia vRS + REVO and AMD. See Linky.

Xleon · 26-05-2007, 22:03

Wow!
(You don't all work for JKM do you ??!!!!??!)

I'm doing the research now, so once both the stutter-fix and the 10K service have been done, I'll be ready for remapping.

I see REVO state 170bhp while Superchips say 167bhp?
Only 3 in it I know but ....just wondered!

mstride · 03-07-2007, 08:54

do JKM do BriskSkoda discount?

**VRStu** · 03-07-2007, 09:00

You can but ask.

And tea or coffee, if you're lucky.

Not forgetting the lovely Kate smiling at you.

Timo · 03-07-2007, 16:12

I'm sure there is a REVO place in Reading. Had a trawl around the net before I decided on Angel.

**VRStu** · 03-07-2007, 16:27

There will be REVO dealers all over the UK, doesn't mean they are good though.

mstride · 03-07-2007, 17:03

right, well i've got a quote from JKM (apologies to steal thread). pretty much what i was expecting. plus if i go with remap + sps1 then there is free fitting on other bits and pieces...

Kate says no to discount, compensated by free-fitting on other bits.

It's not Kate mate ..... it's REVO policy iirc, keeps all the dealers on a level playing field from a price perspective ................ some are vastly superior on a quality and service perspective. I would / and have travelled the 460 mile round trip to JKM, you won't be disappointed :-)
