Licensed master tuning workshop · Newton Aycliffe

ECU remapping, written in-house—not passed down a chain

AutoLab combines licensed master tuning tools, WinOLS calibration capability and a fully equipped independent workshop. Your vehicle is checked, calibrated and supported by the same Newton Aycliffe team.

Vehicle optimisation, not guesswork

A remap should be more than loading a bought-in file. AutoLab works at master level, giving us direct access to the original ECU or TCU data and the ability to develop, inspect and revise calibration changes in-house. We consider torque structure, boost control, fuelling, ignition, thermal protection and gearbox limits as parts of one system.

Every suitable tuning appointment begins with vehicle-health checks. Fault memory, live data and the condition of relevant hardware matter because software cannot repair an underlying mechanical problem. This workshop-led approach supports smooth drivability, sensible component protection and a result matched to how the vehicle is actually used.

From Newton Aycliffe we serve drivers across Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Spennymoor, Sedgefield, Ferryhill, Durham and the wider County Durham and Teesside area.

Common questions

Is AutoLab a master tuner?

Yes. AutoLab operates licensed master tuning tools and uses WinOLS calibration software, allowing suitable ECU and TCU files to be handled and revised in-house rather than being restricted to a slave tool.

Where is AutoLab based?

AutoLab is based at Unit 12 Leaside, Aycliffe Business Park, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, DL5 6DE.

Do you check a vehicle before remapping it?

Yes. Relevant fault memory, live data and vehicle condition are checked before tuning. The exact checks depend on the vehicle, engine and requested work.
