Anyone used Red Dot Racing for a remap?

The advice anyone will say is stick to a reputable dealer recommended by the guys on the forum. If you have searched and not found anything then they probably aren't specialist and known on the "scene" it's definitely a risk. . . :scared:
It's your car so it's up to you, I'd rather pay a bit more fuel and know my car is in safe hands and I'm getting decent aftersales care to go with it
If you do go there, let the rest of us know the result :happy2:

As I said in the first post I don't mind traveling, I'm just checking my options. If there's a place nearby that's offers a good remap/service then I'd rather go there than travel 100ish miles away. If, as the case seems to be, that no one can recommend Red Dot then I'll be prepared to travel further out to get the remap. I've found a few posts about them on other forums, mostly Astra and Alpha forums and a couple of BMW forums, but the posts date a few years back and can't find any posts about Golfs. The guy who recommended them to me had a stage one done on his Mk4 Gti(180) and said he was happy with it. He said they do before and after dynos and take into account what mods you have on the car and tweak/adjust accordingly.
The whole point of this thread was to find out if anyone had had a remap done there on a mk5 GTI and what their experience was. The short answer seems to be that no one has. So I'll start looking at other places.

Thanks for the input :smiley:. So after using both, if you had to go for another remap, you'd rule out Red Dot?
Beginning to feel like I'm a crazy person for asking around and checking my options :laugh:
Won't be getting it done until the summer, just doing my "research"...
