The Garage Summit 2026

The Garage Summit 2026 welcomes all garage owners and staff to a day filled with talks from the pinnacle people of the motor trade!

Most garage owners spend every waking hour in the garage with no chance to chat to those who are also along side them in the industry, come hear the storys and knowledge from people such as Dave Corbally (Service Stop Ltd) James Dillon (Tech Topics) Matt Cleevely (Cleevely EV) Emma Lindley (The Service Advisor Academy)

This event is to chat amongst garage owners and network while listening to those who have valuable info and knowledge on how to make your garage run more efficient and the main point more profitable!

This event isn't just for owners it is for staff and people such as wives and spouses who are often the back bone of the business making sure everything runs well in the background including making sure the bookings are being taken and bills are being paid!

A Stage 2 remap is a more advanced level of engine tuning that builds on a Stage 1 remap by optimizing the car’s ECU (engine control unit) software to work with additional hardware upgrades.

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

🔧 Definition

A Stage 2 remap modifies the ECU settings to take full advantage of upgraded mechanical components that improve airflow and exhaust flow. It adjusts parameters such as:

  • Turbo boost pressure

  • Fuel delivery

  • Ignition timing

  • Throttle response

The goal is to unlock significantly more power, torque, and throttle responsiveness compared to a Stage 1 remap.

🧰 Typical Supporting Modifications

To safely run a Stage 2 tune, you’ll usually need:

  • Performance exhaust system (often a decat or sports cat)

  • Upgraded intercooler

  • High-flow air intake or induction kit

  • Sometimes upgraded downpipe or turbo-back system

These parts reduce restrictions and allow the engine to breathe and cool more efficiently, supporting higher performance levels.

⚙️ Performance Gains

  • Power increase: roughly 20–30% over stock, depending on the vehicle.

  • Torque increase: also substantial, improving acceleration and midrange pull.

  • The car feels much more responsive, especially under load or higher RPMs.

⚠️ Considerations

  • Clutch and gearbox stress: The extra torque can wear them faster if they’re not upgraded.

  • Emissions legality: Removing catalytic converters or using decats can make the car non-compliant with MOT or emissions laws.

  • Reliability: If done by a reputable tuner and maintained properly, it’s safe — but poor-quality tuning can risk engine damage.

🏁 In Summary

Stage Requirements Gains Ideal For
Stage 1 Stock car Moderate (10–20%) Safe daily use
Stage 2 Supporting hardware High (20–30%) Enthusiasts seeking big gains
