Default ECU Remap discount the more cars the less we pay

Dropped my mates car off in hinkly for an ice install and got chatting to lad that remaps ecu's i was enquiring about having mine done and he quoted me 250 quid but then my mates got asking and he says if the three of us where to do our cars at the same time he would do do us a deal on the price 190 each which got me thinking if we got more cars together would the price drop?
he's agreed to make a day of it at his unit with a bbq preferrbably a sunday if we can get a meet together so the more cars the cheaper it will be and free food let me no if your interested west mids area

wat we can do is if we make a list of people who are genuinly interested i need to no
what car your re-mapping
what engine
and what year it was registerd if youve had an engine conversion i need to no the above for the engine
once ive got a ruff idea of how many people are up for this then ill get us a quote on the price
aparently N/A engines will see a gain of 15-20 bhp and turbo's and diesel engines respond very well adding 20 up to 35 bhp
he can smooth out any flat spots and also run a diagnostic check just to make sure the engines running soudly

had a chat with the lad yesterday asked him to go in to more detail about the re-map
what he said is its not a chip he wants replace the file in the cars original ecu

You have to be careful who does the map on your car. A lot of people claim they can map yet I wouldn't let them remap my A-Z or alter the fuel ration on my cigarette lighter.

find your local evolution chip dealer,think there is one in coventry?. if your car can be mapped with the genius kit,then iam sure you would get a good discount if they where doing a few cars at once.

Oh look a bloke with 25 years experience who has built one of the coolest cars on the forum, who is part of a professional remapping setup, wonder if it might be better going to Llloyd than some random bloke who a fella on here bumped into
