General questions
For the sale of our tuned vehicles Mr. Sebastian Repp is glad to be at your disposal at all times. Mr. Ralf Stein is responsible for Parts & Service. More of our contact persons here...
We require ca. 2 days for the installation- please agree an appointment beforehand.

Yes, e.g. Motor Show Essen, Motor Show Detroit etc.
This depends of course on the nature of the parts, but is generally possible within a few days.
We do indeed offer all-inclusive prices and would be glad to advise you individually.
After an optimisation of steering devices has been completed (Chip-Tuning) you should switch to the next highest quality of petrol. In this way you arrive at an improved performance capability.
The increase in performance as a result of chip-tuning results to a significant degree from a large quantify of fuel/air mixture that is fed into the engine. A permanent exploitation of the extra performance thus also leads to an increase in consumption. If the style of driving remains the same, however, a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption is possible, in particular in the case of turbo-diesel vehicles. Through the on the whole increased performance it is possible to shift up in gear earlier than before. The resulting decrease in the number of revolutions also lowers the level of consumption.
Chip-tuning increases the performance of the vehicle. If this performances is permanently called up (full-load operation), then an increased rate of wear and tear must be reckoned with. A conventional style of driving will, however, lead to a negligible extra load. A carefully developed tuning is always designed in such a way as to exploit the possibilities of your engine dependent upon its type, but not to overstretch them.
Chip-tuning is the term used for the increase in the performance of car engines through the substitution of the engine control which as a rule is stored on a rewritable chip as a data sentence inside the engine control mechanism. This is a three-dimensional performance characteristic. In the case of chip-tuning all relevant data that are responsible for the controlling and regulating of the engine are optimised. For example, the boost pressure of the turbo-supercharger, the injection point, injection volume, temperature level of engine and its surroundings and all further controlling and regulating mechanisms of a modern engine are to be named here. Every vehicle that is equipped with an electronic engine control system can be optimised by means of chip-tuning. Chip-tuning is most effective, however, in the case of diesel engines with turbo-superchargers. Many a tuning specialist achieves performance increases of up to 44 % of the series data. Up to a certain number of km driven (usually 100 000) or a certain age of the vehicle (max. 3 years) reliable chip-tuners grant a warranty for engines and gears, or for damages to engines and gears that can unambiguously attributed to chip-tuning. Such clear evidence is often very difficult to find, however.
If the adaptation of the engine control system is done in a professional manner then the durability and life time of engine and gear mechanism correspond roughly to the series values, whereby it is assumed that the extra capacity is used to a low extent. For every increased strain leads inevitably to a higher degree of wear and tear.
The performance optimisation as a result of chip-tuning is carried out by us in such a way that no further conversion is necessary.
This question cannot be answered sweepingly. Tuning is highly individual and must be adapted to every customer and to every vehicle. But just simply drop by or contact us by telephone or email and have your very own tuning offer drawn up especially for you according to your own individual wishes.
Theoretically every Mercedes-Benz service partner is allowed to tune vehicles. One should, however, make sure that one seeks out professional and experienced partners.
No, no more than in the case of any other vehicle.
Yes, manufacturers such as Brabus/Startech, V-max etc. also offer tuning parts for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge.
The maintenance intervals are the same as is the case with series products. According to your style of driving we recommend you change the oil a little more often (ca. 10000km). It is also advisable to use a synthetic type of oil.
Of course we also tune our other own-brands VW, smart, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, as well as other brands to a certain extent upon consultation.
Bodystyle
Of course. Tell us simply your individual desires and we convert these for you.
Tuning manufacturer
Mainly the “Taste”
The abbreviation AMG represents the initials of the founders of the AMG, the former Daimler-Benz-employees Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in Großaspach near Stuttgart.
Yes, AMG has specialised itself exclusively in the tuning of Mercedes-Benz models
Carlsson grants for original Carlsson parts a guarantee of 36 months and a maximum of 100 000 km from the date of installation. In addition, the statutory warranty also applies, e.g. in the case of increases in engine performance for engines, gears and differentials for the duration of 24 months.
When developing Carlsson parts attention is paid to the maintenance of the suitability for day-to-day usage, and this is particularly true with regard to the actions designed to increase the performance. To this end intelligent security functions are installed that can cope with the load risks. Moreover, the reliability is continually being tested under extreme and permanent strains in comprehensive tests and racing starts.
Insurance/Taxes/Warranty
An increase in the performance should be reported to the insurers in every case, as the insurance companies handle the topic of engine tuning differently. According to our experiences so far, however, an increase in the insurance premium is not to be expected. If the vehicle is leased or on hire-purchase, then an increase in performance should also be reported to either the lessor or the financier.
Everything must be registered and the insurer informed thereof, as the value of the vehicle has increased.
The road tax will only increase if, as a result of the increase in performance, the cubic capacity of the engine is increased or the hazardous substances category changes.
Our usual securities and the quality we deliver.
Depending on the nature of the tuning the warranty can be terminated on the part of the manufacturer (e.g. Chip-Tuning). For this reason our manufacturers offer an extensive insurance benefits.
