How much is a tune for a Mazda 3?
Last week, I picked up a Mazda 3 at auction. While it’s in great condition, the engine’s a bit doggy and I’d like to punch up the horsepower. How much is a tune for a Mazda 3?

Expect to pay between $100-$175/hr for a professional Stage 1 tune for your
Mazda 3
. During this process—which will take between 2-4 hours—the mechanic will optimize your Mazda 3’s stock computer settings, and you should see some horsepower (hp) gains. If you want more power, you can continue with a Stage 2 tune, where your tuner/mechanic would turn their attention to your Mazda 3’s air intake and exhaust systems. You can then do further customizations to achieve your hp goals.
Keep in mind that tuning results often depend on the expertise of the tuner. So choose your mechanic carefully.
Tuning your car will likely void its warranty, so be sure to check the fine print if your vehicle is still covered under a warranty!
Tuning a Mazda 3 involves doing some preliminary research. First you’ll need to determine what your goals are in terms of horsepower and performance. Then, you need to find a mechanic who has the knowledge to help you achieve these goals.
You also need to do a bit of research when shopping for affordable
