The portal for ECU file services
Your own file portal, ready in thirty seconds.
Your customers upload, pay and download on a portal with your name on it. Car details fill themselves in, the money comes before the file, and repeat files go out on their own.

Pro: today you pay this month in full, or only the days left if the 1st is less than 10 days away; then £49.99 on every 1st.

Why shops switch
Less typing, no chasing money, repeat files in seconds.
-
01
Autocomplete
Car details filled in for your customer, the moment the file is uploaded.
The portal reads the ECU, the hardware and the software number from the file and fills in the car. Your customer types nothing they can get wrong.
-
02
Paid first
One switch, and you are paid before your customer can send the file.
Turn it on and a request goes through only once it is paid, by card or from credits, straight into your own account. No more chasing money for a file you already tuned.
-
03
AI file match
AI file match: automatic tuning from the files you and your team made before.
Same software, same work: the portal finds the file your team already tuned and sends it after checks, with a 24 hour undo. The repeat job takes seconds, not your evening.

For masters and workshops
Your whole business, A to Z.
The files, your dealers, your website and your diary in one place, so nothing runs on email, spreadsheets or a PC left on in the office.
AI file match
Every new read is compared with the files you have tuned before, the jobs your dealers sent you included, and your tuner sees the match and sends it on.
Bench and boot archives
A locked bench or boot read opens to every memory it holds; your tuner edits the engine flash and every other part goes back exactly as it was.
Your website, connected
Bookings, live chat and call-back requests from your own website arrive in the portal, next to your jobs.
Workshop diary
Bookings from your website, the phone and the assistant in one calendar.
You and your dealers, one conversation
A dealer's customer writes on a job and you read it; your answer, and the reason when you turn a file down, go back to the dealer.

The market
How file portals are priced.
Three ways the market sells a file portal, and ours beside them. Ranges, not one vendor: read from their own pages.
| What you pay for | Flat-fee portals | Per-file portals | Premium builds | TunerEngine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup fee | €250 to €350 is common | Often none | From a few thousand | None |
| Monthly | €33 to €99 | Little or none; you pay per file | Several hundred | £0 on Start, then from £29 on Solo to £399 on Master |
| Files | Usually unlimited | €2 to €5 a file | Usually unlimited | 100 a month on Pro, then £1 a file |
| Locked Alientech and AutoTuner files | Some, often as an extra | Varies | The widest lists | Decrypted in every plan |
| Dealer portals | Some | Rare | Yes | £29 or £59 a month each |
| Workshop diary | Rare, as an extra | No | No | In every plan |
| Your own server | No | No | Some | A set-up from £699, then your package and server care |
Ranges read from the public pages of nineteen file-portal vendors, in their own currency; ours are in pounds. Read on 3 November 2026.

Questions
Asked before you start.
Something else? Write to [email protected] and a person who tunes files answers.
How does Start cost nothing a month?
Start has no monthly fee. For the first 2 months it takes 20% of what your customers pay you through the portal, before tax, billed on the 1st after the month; then you move to the package that fits.
What happens when a package passes its files?
Nothing stops. Each file over is billed after the month: £1.50 on Solo, £1 on Pro, 75p on Business, less on the larger packages.
My customers pay in euros or dollars. How is Start's share counted?
In pounds, at our published rate: sales in euros count at €1 = £0.86, in dollars at $1 = £0.78. The share is worked out on what your customers paid you in the month, before tax.
Is there a free trial?
Start is the free way in: no monthly fee, 20% of what your customers pay you, before tax, for the first 2 months. Every other package is paid from the day you start: this month in full, or only the days left if the 1st is less than 10 days away, then on every 1st.
Can I pay for a year?
Yes: twelve months paid at once, at the same price as paying monthly.
Can I run it on my own server?
Yes, with any package from Solo up: a set-up from £699 per server, then the package and server care each month, from £49.
Do you decrypt KESS3 and AutoTuner files?
Yes, in every plan. An Alientech or AutoTuner file is decrypted only if it is locked; a plain bench or boot read goes straight to your tuner.
What does the portal read from a file?
The hardware number, the software number and the ECU family, and it fills in the car for you.
What happens when the same car comes back?
If you tuned the same software for the same work before, the file goes out at once, after checks, with a 24 hour undo.
Which vehicles does it handle?
Cars and vans, trucks, machinery, motorbikes and marine.
What is a dealer portal?
A portal in your dealer's name, with their own customers. The files come to you, and you decide what each dealer can see, sell and do.
What does a dealer portal cost?
Each dealer portal is £29 a month, or £59 for Dealer Pro, on the Network plan's bill.
Can my dealers and I talk on a job?
Yes. A dealer's customer writes on a job and you read it; your answer, and the reason when you turn a file down, go back to the dealer.
