The Story Behind Advanced Tuning Solutions
The Founder's Story
I’m Dave, and my journey with engines began at 12 years old when I took apart my first moped to make it faster. Growing up in Germany, you’re surrounded by a culture of precision engineering. Those years at the Nürburgring taught me that true performance comes from understanding every aspect of how an engine works.
I initially trained as an electrician, but my passion for mechanical systems led me to switch careers 17 years ago. This dual expertise has become invaluable when working with modern diesel systems, where engine management and mechanical performance are intrinsically linked.
Advanced Tuning Solutions was born from frustration with the industry standard. After experiencing firsthand the lack of transparency and care in diesel tuning, I dedicated myself to mastering the craft and establishing a new benchmark for quality and service.
My approach is simple: Enhanced performance should never compromise reliability!
Every vehicle receives meticulous attention, from understanding your specific requirements through comprehensive testing and diagnostics, to detailed documentation of all work performed.
As a mobile service, I bring professional tuning directly to your location. Each customer receives a complete report and ongoing maintenance guidance, ensuring you have full confidence in your vehicle’s enhanced performance.
When you choose Advanced Tuning Solutions, you’re getting peace of mind knowing your vehicle has been optimised by someone who treats every engine as if it were their own.
Why We're Different
We Don’t Use Generic Tunes
Unlike many tuners who upload standard maps, we create custom tunes based on live data logs taken directly from your vehicle. Every remap is tailored to your driving style, your engine’s condition, and your specific requirements.
Comprehensive Vehicle Assessment
Every service includes a full inspection of your vehicle, both visual and diagnostic. We don’t just focus on the ECU; we examine the entire system to ensure everything is working correctly before we make any changes.
Data-Driven Approach
All our tuning decisions are based on actual data from your vehicle, not assumptions. This ensures safe, reliable performance improvements that work with your engine, not against it.
Professional Mobile Service
We bring the same level of expertise and thoroughness to your location that you’d expect from a top-tier workshop, but without the inconvenience of leaving your vehicle behind.
Our Approach
Listen and Learn
We start by understanding how you drive and learning the history of your vehicle. What do you use it for? How do you drive it? What challenges are you facing? This conversation shapes everything we do.
Understand Your Goals
Every customer has different objectives, better fuel economy for daily commuting, more torque for towing, improved reliability for fleet operations. We tailor our approach to match what you’re trying to achieve.
Diagnose Before We Modify
We thoroughly assess your engine’s condition to uncover any hidden faults, underlying issues, or potential risks. Only when we understand the past and present condition of your vehicle do we move forward with modifications.
