Make sure your car runs reasonably well unless you are doing it to get something fixed or diagnosed.
Check oil level, air filter, plugs, coolant, tyre pressures, fuel and anything else you can think of.
Car gets strapped on, they should check compression and other things just to make sure the car is sound and won't blow up, they will then connect all sorts of engine monitoring probes, maybe plumb in a boost gauge (a precise one !).
Then, the car is run and fettled until she runs her best.
How long it takes depends on what you are having done, but I guess 1 to 1.5 hours for a tune should be sufficient.
Had my cossie done for £90 last year + parts and fitting !!!
Good luck

No worries m8, your first rolling road is always a bit of an event (scary even at times, you keep hoping the car's not gonna jump off !).
To be honest, the best thing it to give whoever is doing it a call and ask them questions, best sound like a tit on the phone, than look like one on the R.Road

Do you honestly think I need to 'try' and sound like a
tit?!
All I need to do now is find a decent R Road over here in N. Ireland as
Ive heard some horror stories about some of the guys operating over here.
Thanks for the info lads, at least I know what to expect.
