Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
If I upgrade the performance of my vehicle, can I still receive my manufacturer’s warranty?
No. Performance tuning typically voids the manufacturer's warranty. Clients are advised verbally and in writing before proceeding.
How many tunes can I put on my vehicle?
Some vehicles support up to 3 tuning files. Our team will confirm compatibility during consultation.
Do I need to upgrade vehicle parts for each stage?
Stage 1 is often software-only. Stage 2 and higher generally require supporting hardware like intercoolers or exhausts.
What brands do you specialise in?
We focus on Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda and Porsche performance upgrades.
What’s included in a Stage 1 tune?
An ECU/TCU software update optimised for power, torque and throttle response, using APR’s verified files.
Can I revert the tune later?
Yes. APR files can typically be removed or reverted. Ask us for details based on your car model.
Do you offer hardware upgrades as well?
Absolutely. We provide and install supporting parts like high-flow intakes, downpipes and intercoolers.
Do I need to check with APR before booking?
No. Just come in, we’ll check your vehicle’s eligibility and pricing for you. If there's a sale running on the APR website, you might save a few dollars, but you don't need to order in advance. We’ll honour those offers directly through German Technik at the time of your visit.
