About CSS Auto
Empowering automotive enthusiasts and professionals with cutting-edge ECU tuning technology and a vibrant community since 2015.
Our Story
CSS Auto was founded in 2015 by a team of passionate automotive engineers and tuning enthusiasts who recognized a growing need for accessible, reliable ECU tuning solutions. What started as a small forum for sharing tuning knowledge has evolved into a comprehensive platform serving both hobbyists and professional tuners worldwide.
Our journey began in a small garage in San Francisco, where our founders were frustrated with the lack of affordable, user-friendly tuning tools. They decided to change that by developing their own solutions and sharing them with the community. The response was overwhelming, and CSS Auto quickly grew from a side project into a full-time mission.
