2. They are accessible, have proper premises and have a reputation for putting things right when they go wrong.

3. Their products have been extensively and positively reviewed by the motoring press.

4. Having scoured the interent most remappers have had some negative publicity from customers, but DMS seem to have retained a reputation for doing things right.

Everyone's free to make there own choices on this and I think Carlos was sensible in that he chose based on his level of confidence that his beloved car would not be damaged rather than vague claims about differentials in performance increases.
Exactly what I was getting at. You state and put your reasons across succinctly as to what you deem important, but I am not criticising DMS as a choice by Carl.

For me, Carl's write-up was missing exactly this reasoning for his choice. He has swiftly and repeatedly given out his opinions on tuning since day 1, but deliberated over this for so long that why he finally chose DMS was of interest. He doesn't discuss that - just lists some points. How were these points addressed to make him choose DMS - above and beyond what many here, who had their cars remapped, explained to him ?

Also no mention of cost.
