UK consumer insurance law requires you to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation before cover is arranged or varied — including material facts about the vehicle. See the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012. The Association of British Insurers describes modifications as features that were not on the car when it was manufactured; failing to tell your insurer can void cover (ABI statement summarised by The Car Expert). Engine remapping is commonly treated as a modification by major UK insurers.
Bottom line: most remaps take 1–2 hours on site. That covers diagnostics, stock backup, writing the new map, and a final check. Exact timing is confirmed when you book.
Bottom line: use the compatibility checker — manufacturer → Search model → year → engine. Not listed? Send your reg via the quote form and we’ll confirm within 24 hours.
