I think I already did a review for JFA a while ago but it may have not posted so I'll do it again just in case as I am very happy with them! I had a stage 1 eco/performance tune done by them on my abarth 595 Turismo & they completely transformed my car. Not only is it far more economical when driven normally but it feels much more refined not to mention a hell of a lot quicker! I was a bit dissapointed when I bought the car but not anymore! It just feels like it should if that makes sence. I dont have to change down a gear to take hills or overtake anymore! I thought it would just be quicker but its so much more! Comunication was excellent with them & they took time to show me how to facilitate payment with Klarna & also sent me follow up emails to make sure everything was ok & that I was happy. They even gave me some advice on actuator springs & upgrades via email. Overall I'm more than happy I chose JF Automotive. If you care about your car but want it tweaked to perfection without harming it these are your guys, well worth the trip.
Eoghan at JFA did a stage 1 remap on my Suzuki Swift 1.4 boosterjet it was 140bhp now 165bhp, now has less turbo lag and driving the car is even better, well worth getting done.
Amazing service, would recommend for performance cars
Welcoming team, very helpful. Good facilities, clean & well kept. Had stage 1 carried out which was quick & easy, definitely noticed the difference. Highly recommend
Cannot fault them, amazing team with great mechanics who know what they are doing. I am so pleased with both times I have visited. Feel listened to, and they always suprise me with amazing results.
Good guys, get the job done and stand by their work.
Great service from start to finish. All staff were very knowledgeable & Shane (technician) done a great job fitting an Akrapović exhaust system to my 911 GTS - Thanks JFA!
Smoother delivery of power And plenty of it The Kracken has been released ! Great job thank you
Excellent job
Took my 1.8 Polo GTI 6c in for a stage 1 engine map and associated gearbox map. I'm happy with the result - quicker acceleration throughout the gears and the automatic gearbox shifts quicker. Would recommend JF Automotive to anyone looking to give their car a bit more oomph.
got my ecu and gearbox mapped, they do custom maps that provide extra power without maxing and straining all parts to the limit. i was a little worried about doing it but im glad i did. very happy with the results!
I took my car here for a Stage 2 setup, including a sport cat downpipe, cold air intake, custom Stage 2 tune, xHP Stage 3 tune, lowering springs and spacers. Everything came out really well, and they also helped me fit a front splitter even though I was missing some of the bolts for it. The difference between how the car looked when it went into the shop and when I got it back was honestly night and day. The performance is fantastic as well, with strong, healthy power throughout the rev range. The car feels completely different compared with before and is now an absolute joy to drive every time. A few days afterwards I noticed a small creak coming from the suspension, so I got in contact with JFA. I brought the car back in, they checked it over, found the issue and sorted it within an hour with no extra charge. The car is now perfectly fine, which really showed me how good their aftercare is. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the work and the service. I’ll 100% be bringing my car back whenever I want more work done in the future.
Had my cupra formentor serviced at JF after receiving a reasonable price for a major service and receiving an extortionate quote from the cupra dealership. Kelan was quick at responding to my request and any questions I had before I proceeded to book which was an easy process in itself. I dropped my car off at 8am on the day and was informed someone would contact me when it was ready for collection. At lunch time I received a call to talk about a quote I had submitted a few days prior for my breaks. Whilst on the phone I asked if there was any news on a rough time my car would be ready for collection to which I was informed they couldn’t see it on the job sheet so would go and speak to the technician to see if it was ready and call me back to which I never got a phone call. It got to 15:00 and I still hadn’t heard anything so gave them a call and my car was ready for collection. The collection of my car was straight forward and no issues. I drove my car home and it wasn’t used for a couple of days however when I next drove it I noticed a sound coming from my car as if air was being sucked in somewhere within my engine bay which I had not noticed before. I called JF back up and they were helpful in booking a same day appointment for my car to be checked over. Again dropped my car off and told I would hear back but after a while I hadn’t heard anything so I went back round to the garage to see my car had been moved and was parked up. I went into reception and met Kelan who was very friendly and explained the fault with my car had been from a pipe not being reconnected after a part was fitted during my service. They admitted fault and apologised which as a result the diagnostic was free of charge and the pipe was reconnected. Minus star for the pipe not being refitted during my service and for the little communication I had whilst my car was in the garage on both occasions. Completely understand that these guys are very busy and not always able to call straight away but would have been appreciated of any form of updates. Despite these hiccups I’d be happy to use them again with any future work.
Delighted with the service we received from JFA. Four other garages had looked at my daughter's car (1.0 Focus Ecoboost) and none were able to diagnose the lack of power and intermittent dashboard warning lights. JFA were professional, flexible and deeply knowledgeable, diagnosed the fault (seized impeller on the turbo), ordered and fitted a replacement inside a week. Power restored, daughter delighted. Thanks very much. I'll be back.
Great service as usual and a real improvement in drive quality after engine and gearbox remaps.
