AutoTech Sales Mileage Blocker Review: Reseller vs Developer — Does It Matter?

If you have been researching mileage blockers, you may have come across AutoTech Sales as one of the options in your search results. It is worth knowing upfront: AutoTech Sales is a reseller of MileageBlocker.com products. They do not develop or manufacture their own devices. The products they sell are ours.

This is not a criticism of AutoTech Sales as a business — reseller models are common across many industries. But it does raise a straightforward question: if the product is the same, why would you buy through a middleman rather than directly from the developer?

What a Reseller Relationship Actually Means

When AutoTech Sales sells a mileage blocker, they are purchasing our devices at a wholesale price and selling them on at a retail margin. The physical product you receive is a MileageBlocker.com device. However, several things change when you buy through a reseller rather than directly from us.

Pricing

A reseller adds their margin to our wholesale price. That margin exists to cover their operating costs and profit. When you buy directly from MileageBlocker.com, you pay the manufacturer's price with no intermediary markup. For a product in the £150–£350 range, that difference is meaningful.

Technical Support

This is where the reseller model creates the most significant limitation. When you contact AutoTech Sales with a technical question — about installation, about a specific vehicle variant, about a firmware update — they are reliant on information passed to them by us. They do not have access to our engineering team, our firmware development environment, or our vehicle-specific calibration data.

When you contact MileageBlocker.com directly, you are speaking to the people who built the device. Our UK-based support team is available by phone, WhatsApp, and email. If your vehicle has an unusual ECU configuration, or if a manufacturer has released a software update that affects compatibility, we can address that directly. A reseller cannot.

Warranty and Returns

A warranty claim made through a reseller adds an extra step in the process. The reseller must first assess the claim, then contact us, then arrange the return. Buying directly means your warranty claim is handled by the manufacturer without an intermediary in the chain. Resolutions are faster and there is no ambiguity about who is responsible.

Product Availability and Updates

When we release a new device for a newly supported vehicle, or update an existing product for a revised ECU, that product is available on MileageBlocker.com immediately. A reseller's stock reflects what they purchased at their last order. There can be a lag between a product update and its availability through a third-party channel.

Why We Sell Direct

MileageBlocker.com was built on the principle that the relationship between a customer and the manufacturer should be direct. We develop our own firmware, we manufacture our own devices, and we support our own customers. That chain of accountability is only possible when there is no intermediary between the engineer and the buyer.

Our Product Finder tool covers 379 vehicle configurations. When you use it, you are searching our live catalogue — not a reseller's subset of it. When you place an order, it is fulfilled directly from our UK operation. When you need support, you reach our technical team, not a sales agent.
