The price of tuning is not only the cost of editing a file. A complete service includes the professional’s time, equipment, diagnosis, insurance, technical support, file preparation, safe writing, testing and after-sales follow-up.
The local intervention
The partner receives the vehicle, checks its condition, identifies the ECU and chooses the supported access method. Professional programming equipment, adapters and a voltage stabiliser represent a significant investment that must be maintained and amortised.
Calibration work
Swaptune analyses the exact file and prepares the requested calibration. Complexity varies by ECU, software, fuel, gearbox and mechanical configuration. Some control units require an additional unlock service before normal reading or writing becomes possible.
Risk and follow-up
A professional price must leave room for competent support, insurance and the time required if a vehicle needs additional diagnosis or adjustment. Pricing every car like the cheapest, simplest job ignores both technical risk and the level of service expected by the customer.
Clear catalogue pricing
Swaptune combines the vehicle configuration, compatible product and selected services to calculate a public price. Stage 1 is charged at its normal price. When compatible additional services are selected with it, those services receive the defined bundle reduction. Without Stage 1, the highest-priced service remains at full price and eligible following services are reduced.
Final feasibility is confirmed by the partner after vehicle and ECU identification.
FAQ
Why can two cars have different prices for Stage 1?
Access method, ECU complexity, vehicle value, risk and required work can differ.
Is the cheapest file the same service?
No. A file price alone says nothing about diagnosis, tools, insurance, checks or follow-up.
Are Swaptune prices visible before contact?
For published complete configurations, the configurator displays the estimated result and public price before the partner confirms feasibility.
