New Service: Performance Tuning

We're excited to be launching our brand new service; tuning under our new brand Canterbury Tuning. This has been in development for a long time and we're working alongside one of the most reputable tuning businesses in New Zealand - Alt Tune.


So what is performance tuning?

Performance tuning involves an adjustment to the ECU files of your vehicle to increase power, torque and fuel efficiency. For us it is a remotely operated service where we utilise the specialist tuning files developed by Alt Tune in Taupo and act as an agent right here in Christchurch.


What can I expect?

You can self-check different vehicles at www.alttune.co.nz or contact us to find out more. Many turbo and diesel vehicles can expect gains anywhere from 5% to 20%. See a few examples at the bottom of this blog post...


What does it cost and how does it work?

We have a fixed price for a stage 1 performance tune (no additional parts of upgrades required; simply ECU tuning) for $1250 incl. GST. We need your vehicle for approximately 24 hours - this can vary on how busy we are and the wait time for tuning files to be modified and sent back to us. We can potentially offer this service at your own home or business - some travel fees may apply - but bringing your vehicle to us at our Yaldhurst address is ideal.


What else do I need to know?

Contact us if you're interested and we can talk some more. There are standard Ts & Cs with all tuning jobs; but we have huge confidence in Alt Tune as have run their tunes on many of our personal cars for the last 5+ years and already have many clients running their tunes on their own vehicles too.


Contact us via email to find out more about what gains you can expect or to ask questions regarding this awesome new service! We will have an independent website built for this business very shortly too with additional key information.
