Welcome to PowerTune.Org

Powertune Motorsport was established in Widnes Cheshire back in 1983 by Mike Brandreth. In the early days Powertune was primarily involved with general maintenance of general 'run of the mill' cars. It wasn’t untill 1986 when the company was actively involved with the running of a Citroen Visa Mille Piste 4x4 Group B rally car on the 1986 Lombard RAC Rally (when rallying was rallying!) on that occasion the team came away with a class win!! Following that, we then realised that there was a massive market for diagnostics, so soon after Mike invested in the latest diagnostic equipment and become the first establishment in the area to provide such a service to both the general public and other garages alike.

We utilise a vast range of the latest tools, scanners and car diagnostic systems to assist our Engineers in locating and fixing the vehicle and never use Chinese copy-cat programs or fake software from the internet as these can seriously damage the vehicle.

Most cars manufactured in the last 15 years have complex ECU (Electronic Control Units) that require software and firmware updates in order to improve and even fix known issues. In turn, this may have a knock-on effect on the car’s other electronic components.

We now specialise in diagnostics and programing.
