On-site diesel tuning, anywhere in Gauteng

You do not book your bakkie in and lose a day to it. Chris comes to your home or your workplace with the tuning equipment, connects to the vehicle in your parking bay, and does the work while you carry on with yours. That is the whole idea behind Saftrade. Diesel owners in Gauteng use their vehicles for work, and taking a bakkie off the road for a tune costs you more than the tune does. Book a time, tell us where the vehicle stands, and we come to it.

What a diesel remap actually changes

A modern diesel engine is run by software. The factory file has to suit every market, every fuel quality and every kind of driver, so it is written conservatively. A remap rewrites that software around your engine and how you actually use the vehicle. Diesel owners usually feel it first as stronger pull lower down, which is what matters when you are towing a caravan or a trailer, running a loaded bakkie, or climbing a long pass. Smoother power delivery also means fewer downshifts and less right foot on the open road, which is where the fuel saving comes from on a long trip.

Diesel bakkies and 4x4s we tune

Saftrade works on the diesels South Africans actually drive. If your vehicle is not on this list, phone Chris and ask. Every tune is written for the specific engine in front of us, so the file that goes onto a Hilux is different to the file that goes onto a Ranger. Petrol vehicles are also covered if you have one in the same driveway.

How the appointment works

Phone Chris on 083 260 8690 or leave your name and number and we will call you back. Tell us the make, model and year, and where the vehicle will be. We come out at a time that suits you, read the ECU, save the original file, write and load the custom map, and then take the vehicle for a short drive with you so you can feel the difference before we leave. You get an honest answer on the phone about what your engine can and cannot do, before anyone books anything.

Questions

Do you really come to me, or do I have to bring the bakkie in?
We come to you. That is how Saftrade works. Chris travels to your home or your workplace anywhere in Gauteng with the equipment and tunes the vehicle where it is parked. You do not lose a day of work and you do not have to arrange a lift.
Is a remap safe for my diesel engine?
A tune is written inside the limits of your specific engine and its components. We read what is on the ECU first, look at the condition of the vehicle, and write the map around it. If an engine has a problem that a tune would make worse, Chris will tell you that instead of taking the job. An honest no is part of the service.
Will this affect my warranty or service plan?
We will be straight with you here. Remapping changes the manufacturer's software, and a dealer can pick that up. If your vehicle is still under manufacturer warranty or on a service plan, that is a real consideration and you should weigh it up before booking. Phone Chris and talk it through first rather than finding out later.
Can the tune be reversed?
Yes. Your original factory file is read and saved before any new software is written. If you want the vehicle back on the standard map, whether for a dealer visit or because you are selling it, we can load the original file back.
How long does the appointment take?
Most vehicles are done in a single visit, and you can stay with the vehicle the whole time. The exact time depends on the make, model and what the ECU needs, so Chris will tell you what to expect for your vehicle when you phone.
