I arrived 45 minutes late for an 08:00 appointment/slot. I mentioned being late and it wasn't an issue. I was told I could sit and wait in reception. Within an hour the issue I came in for was resolved. Made payment and I was at home on time for my Meeting. Friendly and Professional Staff. Constantly in communication from when I first made contact. I would recommend this Organization to anyone. Thanks

Got my BMW i8 tuned with JFA and straight away it's a noticeable difference with the pull and 0-60 times. Overall was a professional and detailed visit, they did all the necessary checks and made sure everything was done with the right steps.

Had a recent stage 1 remap done at JFA
Had a recent stage 1 remap done at JFA, this is my 2nd vehicle (12 years in-between visits) I've had done by this company. I returned due to their reputation and knowledge. I didn't use their rolling road this visit, I did on my 1st visit, due to not chasing numbers as looking for driveability, and secondly as an mechanical engineer I personally found the sound of cars red lining mechanically wrong, I know it's a very safe process. My answered most of my questions or but 1 regarding LSPI (low speed pre ignition) and how the map could help prevent it. I would reuse JFA again for other vehicles.
Outstanding Service & Expertise – Highly Recommended
I recently had my C63 serviced at JF Automotive and couldn’t be more impressed. The team were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, clearly taking pride in their work. They use high-quality ROWE lubricants, which was great to see, and the level of mechanical expertise really stood out.
They also provided helpful advisory notes on a few items that may need attention in the future, which I really appreciated—no pressure, just honest guidance. Overall, a genuinely professional and impressive service from start to finish. Highly recommended!
Great service, highly recommended.
Helpful and friendly booking process, work was carried out efficiently and easily on the day of the booking. The vehicle had some changes to software and has now been to Lille and back without problems so very happy with the service from JFA and would recommend.
Very good service booked in really fast…
Very good service booked in really fast and did amazing job car sounds and drives much better very pleased will use again
I did my research before visiting JFA…
I did my research before visiting JFA and they came out on top repeatedly. I contacted my local performance garage twice with a gap in between and they didn’t even respond. So I drove the 360 mile round trip to JFA and I’m glad I did. I own a 57 plate Golf TSI GT Sport. It was sold to me as the 167bhp variant but it turned out to be the 140bhp version… Anyway, that is now redundant information because the car now has 200bhp (without compromising engine safety) AND (when driving sensibly) it has better fuel economy… JFA are on their A game all the time, from the way they handle enquiries, to providing helpful reminders of upcoming appointments and follow up on how things are afterwards… if your reading this and you are interested in performance upgrades for your car, use JFA… it will be money well spent and you will be delighted with the outcome…
Thank you JFA 👍🏾
I would like to say a massive thank you to the entire JFA team. They are an excellent team of professionals. The have transformed my Audi A7 performance and this has made a huge difference to my driving experience.
Thank you JFA!!
Top notch.
Communication was excellent, service was very efficient and all in all just a very friendly bunch of knowledgeable people at JFA.
I had a software upgrade on my 530d and afterwards a phantom EML appeared. I brought the car back in and it was swiftly resolved. Very pleased with the service. I'm extremely picky over where I take my cars and it's always nice to know whatever issues I may have with this car in the future, there's a place I can take it to.
I will be going back to have some more work done. Use JFA with confidence!
