Here at Plympton Car Centre, we are proud to be the only Avon Tuning Agent in Plymouth offering Stage 1 & Stage 2 remaps. Remapping your car can improve both performance and fuel economy, giving you more power, smoother response, and savings where it counts.
What does remapping mean?
Every car has an Engine Control Unit (ECU) that controls and limits many aspects of engine performance - balancing power output, torque, emissions, fuel consumption, and more. By remapping your vehicle’s ECU (also called tuning), we adjust the software to unlock extra performance and efficiency, without changing the hardware. It should only ever be done by professionals with the right tools and experience, like us.
How much does remapping cost?
Remapping your car at Plympton Car Centre with Avon Tuning is available in two different stages; a stage 1 remap and a stage 2 remap.
- Stage 1 Remaps: from £240, ideal for standard vehicles with no significant hardware modifications.
- Stage 2 Avon Tuning Remaps: price on request, designed for vehicles with upgraded components (intakes, exhausts, intercoolers etc.).

Our team will assess your vehicle and your expectations to recommend the right stage for you.
Remapping for fuel economy vs performance
What matters most depends on your driving style, how many miles you do, and what you expect from your car. Here are the typical options:
- Fuel economy-focused remap: Ideal for high-mileage use, commuting, or regular trips. We optimise the ECU to give better mpg, smoother throttle, lower emissions, while still preserving some performance.
- Performance-focused remap: Gives you stronger acceleration, more torque, sharper throttle response - great if you enjoy spirited driving or want more from your drivetrain.
- Balanced remap: A popular middle ground. You get meaningful performance improvement without a major hit to fuel economy or daily usability.
We’ll discuss your priorities at the start to pick the best remap style for you.
