So unless they have improved there equipment, and can garantee untracability since I spoke to them I'D give them a miss.
They are another new kid on the block.

Hi John,
I think that the ECU keeps track of the number of times that it's been reflashed. A dealer spotted my remap on my Golf via this method, and they reflashed it back to original!
However, I've already spoken to my dealer about remapping the car. The manager grumbled something, but when I mentioned that if it invalidated the warranty, then they wouldn't be able to claim any warranty work on the car, he changed his mind!!!
Dealers get paid a good amount for warranty work on new cars, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they dropped you in it with Honda.
As for them being the new kid on the block, must admit that I thought that too, however, they've got a string of really good testimonials that have reassured me. Having read these, customers are raving about the fitter's levels of technical knowledge, etc.
Of course, whenever dealing with a new supplier, be wary, but don't avoid them just because they're not Revo or Superchips. Superchips weren't aware that dealers could spot and reflash ECU's until it happened to my Golf earlier this year!
HINT: Avoid plug in modules, they just tinker with fuelling levels. Fuel bills & emissions go up by a greater proportion than performance.
