A massive thank you to Blaise at Lonestar Performance for the mobile remapping service, he came out to remap my car whilst I was at home. He was also able to clear up a lot of stigma around remapping and tuning that I didn't fully understand. So glad I took my VXR Astra for him to tune, it was an absolute pleasure, I'm going back with my wife's Abarth next!

Couldn’t recommend lonestar enough! I have used blaise a number of times now to fix DPF, EGR & Adblue faults as well as remaps which I can’t fault! This company will do as much as they can to help you out and get the problem sorted which a lot of the time in this trade you get fobbed off. Very honest guys! You would be mad to go elsewhere. Highly recommend! Cheers guys!
I mean what can I say... The service was incredible from start to finish, every question answered with professionalism. Guys really know their stuff and car has never ran so good!! Thanks again and I'll definitely be back!!
Cannot thank you enough! My car has immobilisers Problem and had issues with the ECU, I try many people To fix my car but every one failed, But these guys Fix my Immobiliser problem, 5 star is not enough 100% Recommend
First class excellent in every respect. Just had some work done on Transit. It’s mint. Very reliable and professional highly recommended. Thank you. 👊.
Lonestar helped fix my work van for me. Great service provided would highly recommend to anyone.
Had My V6 Amarok in for Adblue, DPF, EGR solution and a stage 1 map, great service and price, dropped my vehicle off the night before and was given a courtesy car for the day so went off for a day and night trip to Alton Towers whilst the car was being worked on, picked it up that evening, great service couldn't fault it
I took my 2004 Mini Cooper S in to get a Stage 1 remap and first of all I was extremely happy with how welcoming and knowledgeable this company is. First impressions really do count! The work was all done within approximately 30 minutes and I was more than satisfied with the end result. Overall, it was a great customer experience from start to finish and so I would highly recommend Lonestar Performance Tuning to anyone!
5STAR service, thanks for all the help with the DS4 thats been a pain! Much appreciated and very helpful service!
Booked a stage 1 remap on my x5 came out to my work, arrived on time couldn't fault his attention to detail and service would definitely use these again cheers rog
Fantastic service from start to finish, Took my car in for routine maintenance, Blaise is very knowledgeable and genuine, one of the good guys out there ! Top work keep it up
Dealing with professional people at Lonestar performance, was so easy, great communication with all involved, fabulous explanation on the work being undertaken. High would highly recommend Lonestar performance to anyone.
Excellent service. Came to my work place. And remapped my engine and gearbox. Quick and easy service. Would highly recommend and use again.
5 stars isn’t enough for these guys These guys are absolutely amazing they take so much pride in their work and so much patience. I have recently had my Ford focus worked on by them for some ecu work, they was amazing even when a problem occurred within my car they worked out of hours to make sure the car was running perfectly. Blaise is the man you need for all of your ecu, service and repair work. Thank you everyone over at Lonestar performance you guys smashed it.
Brilliant service by these guys. Had to get my car fixed quickly (EGR valve) after the engine warning light came on (never good as we all know). Got in contact and Blaise was very helpful and got the job done and kept in contact. Would highly recommend for getting your car fixed, no faffing, no hidden costs. Direct and very supportive. Decent local business. xx
Had dpf Solution and remapped excellent service and work would definitely recommend him to anyone nice honest guy
Great service from loanstar performance did my Nissan juke 1.5dci today had a stage 1 remap wow 👌 👏 what a difference thanks mate Great job.
The most soundest guys could have ever imagined! Amazing customer service! 20/10 would recommend for the best and friendliest maps/ service etc! Future stars
Had an egr problem causing repeated engine management lights. Spoke to Blaise and talked through the problem and he offered a solution and was available next day. A few hours later all sorted and car drives amazing now. That good I've recommended him to two friends already. Thanks mate.
Fantastic service very professional and has done a great job. Would highly recommend 5 star
Great customer service, good communication and reliable. Thanks and I highly recommend
Initially enquired about dpf issues, but upon further inspections around the car, Blaise went above all and beyond to rectify some issues in relation to my suspension springs and some over dubious work done by other mechanics. He really looked after me by pointing these issues out.
Had an issue with my vehicle that needed resolving ASAP and after a day of chatting to various Garages, a colleague called a local friend who has a garage who in turn uses Lonestar a lot. This was after 5pm and by the next day I'd driven the 2 hours to the friends work and met with the man himself. Not only was my issue resolve, but my car is also now performing so much better thanks to the remap that was done. As if I was happy with that resolution already, the chat I had whilst it was being done and the resulting cost of what I paid made me feel a little disappointed that more people are getting ripped off by big garages when guys and businesses like Lonestar can massively help and save you money too. 100% recommended.
I had a problem with a fault code on my Mercedes. I contacted Lonestar and they replied straight away with a price and availability. Arranged a time and date and Blaise turned up exactly when he said he would. Work carried out quickly and cleanly, and didn't break the bank either.
A very good and professional service prompt and informative would recommend five stars.
This is the second time I've used lonestar. Had one done at home the other at his garage. Amazing service and very quickly done amazing guy talks u through it all and had a great chat will be going back in the week for a 3rd car to be done
Had a problem with my remapped seat ateca. Spoke to the original garage that remapped it, but they weren't interested. After reading the reviews for Lonestar Performance Tunning ,I thought I'd give them a try. I spoke to Blaise and he said he'd take a look at my car. I was a bit apprehensive at first but I couldn't have been so wrong. I found Blaise to be very knowledgeable and very professional. You can tell by the way he talks that he has a real passion in what he does. I found Blaise to be very approachable, honest and a really down to earth bloke. I know in the unlikely event I have a problem, he'd sort it. I would recommend Lonestar Performance Tunning to anyone who's thinking of having any remapping or maintenance done on their car. I will be going back to see Blaise in the near future to have more work done.
Great service, car was mapped with a exhaust system to be fitted, the map is just what I wanted with the pops and bangs and I can definitely feel the extra power from the stage 1 map, would highly recommend to anyone who needs anything doing to their vehicle 5 star service from start to finish THANKYOU!!!!!!
Blaise did a great job on my Pug. Very quick very helpful and had a great chat as well. Thanks. You probably saved me a grand or more.
Just like to say a bona fida genuine business. Owner took my call in the morning and booked my vehicle in same day after explaining the problem I was having with my vehicle Solved a ongoing adblue problem that would cost £1000's via a main dealer to resolve over the long term. Would 100% recommend if you have a adblue problem or want to remap your engine to enhance fuel efficiency OR performance. very reasonably priced for the service and advice you receive. I see why all his reviews are 5 star!
