This is the second time i have used pendle performance, going back to Martin with a t4 2.5 88bhp and leaving his place with 138bhp and another 100 of torque, what a difference, loved the 400 mile journey back home, big big difference to the journey going down.thanks Martin, top job.

Just had my vw t6 re-mapped by Martin at pendle, over the moon with the results. The mid range power now is fantastic,it pulls like a train. It went from 103bhp to 178bhp. Very happy with the service from Martin,nice and friendly and definitely recommend them.

Just want to say a big thank you to Martin. I bought a Vito 114 (140bhp) in January to replace a 2007 109 cdi which I had for many years and loved it, hence the upgrade. Unfortunately the euro 6 engine of the 114 variation didn't feel anything as good as my old 230,000 mile van!!! Until that is... when Martin did his magic!! It drives bloody lovely now, I have a couple of 0-60 mid 4 second motors and they're pretty quick but that is tuned petrol engines for you, They are more explosive, the van being diesel and a lot heavier and more wind resistance benefits hugely in the torque that's transmitted throughout the drivetrain, it pulls so much better at lower rpm, you have to remember bhp is what will get you to an object quicker but it is the torque that determines how far it will push through that object!! I read through the reviews before I took it in, even though I had known people who had already had vehicles done, including a mechanic workmate who had his Transporter done 8 years ago and its still going strong. One thing I noticed was a few people saying Martin was rude etc, etc. I personally thought he was a decent bloke, yes he is quite direct in his approach and obviously been doing this a long time and doesn't suffer fools. I'd say it is well worth the money, go and drop your motor off and explore the town and maybe a walk in the hills or along the canal, it'll be worth every minute Thanks Martin, I'll no doubt see you again in the future should I need another vehicle doing. all the best.

Had a terrible experience here. First got there, met up, asked if he wanted me to pull my car in, came out with some clever comment asking if i had 200k in my bank to pay for a dyno if i did it wrong...!? Didnt ask what i was expecting from the remap, didnt ask what i would like, didnt ask what i use it for, if i tow etc. When i asked what it would make, he said 'it makes what it makes'. Told me to go for a walk for 6 hours and he would ring me when it was sorted. No seating no brew room nowhere to wait nothing. Just said walk for 3 hours then turn around and walk back... I rang him initially to ask about removing my dpf before the remap. He advised against it...which is obviously laughable advise. I said that darkside developments suggested i should remove it. To which i got a 5 minute slagging off of their company.....very unprofessional, it was clearly a sore subject for some reason. The remap itself suppose i cant complain, however was told 600+vat which magicaly turned into about 670+ vat. Offered a gear box remap....however when i said it runs better in sport he gave a clear look of 'oh i didnt even know it had sport'......! Very last thing, i had a sensor go shortly after, rang purely for abit of advise on a fault code. The second I mentioned i was ringing about a car i had done, he was on the immediate defensive. 'That sensor is nothing to do with me' which of course i knew, but it just gave the strong impression that you would be pissing into the wind to return a car to him. Not sure if this is the service he gives everyone or whether he just thought i didnt have a clue what i was talking about. Mines the black amarok on his facebook page.
