DSG gearbox servicing & remap
Jerky changes, hesitant shifts, or your DSG overdue an oil and filter change? We service DSG gearboxes and remap them for smoother, sharper shifts, at your home or workplace.
What we cover
Most DSG problems start with fluid that's overdue a change — the oil degrades over time and shift quality suffers long before anything's actually gone wrong mechanically. We handle:
- Scheduled oil and filter servicing, keeping shifts smooth and protecting the gearbox long-term
- DSG software remaps and tuning, sharpening shift points and response to suit how you actually drive
We don't carry out clutch replacement or mechatronic unit repair — those are workshop jobs that need a lift and a bay, not something we can do mobile. If that's what your car needs, we'll tell you plainly rather than taking on a job we can't finish properly.
What we do about it
We bring everything needed for a full oil and filter service straight to your driveway or workplace, and can remap the gearbox in the same visit if you're after sharper, faster shifts. No dealer wait, no day off work.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair DSG clutches or mechatronic units?
No — those are workshop jobs that need the gearbox dropped and a lift, which isn't something we can do mobile. We handle DSG oil and filter servicing, plus software remaps and tuning, on your driveway or at work.
How often does a DSG need servicing?
Most DSG gearboxes need an oil and filter change around every 40,000 miles, though it varies by gearbox and how the car's driven. Tell us your car and we'll check the right interval for yours.
What are the signs my DSG needs attention?
Jerky or hesitant gear changes, a delay when pulling away, or a knocking or shuddering feel through the shifts are the most common signs. Often it's simply overdue fluid rather than anything mechanical.
How much does DSG servicing cost?
Every job's priced on your vehicle and what's actually involved, so we don't quote a blanket figure here — but the quote itself is always free, there's no call-out charge, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. Call us or send a quote request for an accurate price. Get a Free Quote
