Cheap remap
Dan_FR:
Marketing spiel.... It will be a generic flash map with a before and after dyno run and if you're lucky, a few data logging runs to check it won't blow up on your way home.
Warranty on what exactly? The data saved on the ECU? as they sure as hell wont warrant any failures or engine damage
pudding:
Superchips is the only company I've seen that offer a mechanical breakdown warranty if it's proven their the remap caused it.
That is the difference between an established brand that can afford professional indemnity insurance, vs the myriad of other companies who seem to focus solely on pleasing facebook with very optimistic numbers.
I'm sure the £250 map will be OK, but I guarantee it won't be their own work.

Problem is - proving the map was at fault... Reading their T&C's, they will blame poor servicing, modifications or general fatigue/wearing out of components before you have any chance of a pay-out

But at least a recourse route is there. Everyone else is 'tough luck mate'.
