Reprogramming and Coding Services for a Professional Vehicle

Has your vehicle had an unusual glitch, such as the transmission staying in neutral when you park? Perhaps your heater controls have changed modes on their own. Door locks might switch unnecessarily, or your vehicle’s computer may not sense a door that’s ajar.

If you’ve noticed any of these or similar conditions, your vehicle might need a software update, in the form of reprogramming and coding. Bring your vehicle to Portola Valley Garage in Portola Valley, where we’ll perform all needed reprogramming and coding at affordable rates to rival those of any dealership.

Reliable Reprogramming and Coding for Maximum Performance

When you come to Portola Valley Garage, we’ll make sure all systems are properly programmed.

At Portola Valley Garage, our expert technicians use reprogramming and coding to adjust various factors, such as fuel enrichment settings, spark timing, emission control functions and more. Coding can slightly adjust the transmission timing, allowing for faster acceleration from a complete stop, if not greater performance on highways throughout San Mateo County and all of CA.

Meanwhile, our reprogramming and coding tools can diagnose other vehicle issues as well. After all, reprogramming is also a matter of vehicle repair. Our team at Portola Valley Garage knows that clearing codes and reprogramming your vehicle are essential steps to getting the most from your engine.
