Kartechnic- Poole

Anyone used them?
Am in need of a power run for my car and they were suggested to me.

A few years ago I had an issue with an E60 M5 which BMW were unable to solve. A friend of mine recommended them and I took the car there.

One of the mechanics hopped in the car and took it for a drive, ten minutes later he was back, fault diagnosed and then fixed.

About 18 months ago I took an E39 M5 to them for servicing and brakes and again was very happy with the service I received.

Used them for my E61 M5, C6 RS6 and C63. Good experience with them throughout.

Chers, sounds like I wont have a problem using them

I gave K-Tec Racing a call (Blandford) as its a bit closer than Poole, they asked what sort of power i was expecting and when i told them their rolling road was suddenly broken and only able to do front wheel drive vehicles at present

Thats because the dyne was broken and could only cater for front wheel drive cars due to the position of the dyno in the cell. Dyno has since been fixed and it is about to be moved further back in the cell to allow more reliable running of rwd cars.

So nothing to do with it not being able to test cars with more than 350bhp then as i was informed?

Personally I have not used them but when I worked for a main dealer I had several customers that did and had nothing but praise for them. We had a few dealings with them too and no complaints here.

Used them a few times and no complaints. Not the cheapest indy but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Because the dyno was not working correctly. We didn't have a problem running a 400bhp Clio a couple of weeks before when it was working fine.

Bit late but another thumbs up for Kartechnic from me. Used the Christchurch branch to fix a/c issue on my RRS. Quick & painless.
