A "tuning file service" refers to the process of modifying a vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software to optimize engine performance, power, fuel efficiency, and other parameters.
This is done by utilizing specialized tuning files, which are software files containing the data necessary to alter the ECU's control maps. These files are often created by tuning professionals or companies and can be used to reflash the ECU, resulting in changes like increased power output, improved throttle response, or better fuel economy.
