    APR in Perth - limited options

    I am looking for the Stage 1 APR tune on a Polo GTI 9N3. I have just taken ownership of the car.

    I contacted Quattro Motors in Burswood to make a booking plus a bit of other work. As I was a new customer, I was fairly bluntly told that they are booked out until the end of November, and then will be moving to a new premises. They could not tell me an ETA on when they would reopen.

    So, as the only APR dealer in Perth, what am I supposed to do? Wait until 2015?

    I am considering the Custom-Code DIY option instead.

    Hit up rgvlee about the #Flashwire, he has done his with Phase 2 in Perth. Or email me below. I have other options which might also suit your situation.

    I heard that APR is no more. I might be wrong, but....I'd be searching for alternatives

    cheers Lucas.

    Bold statement or not...I did qualify it with "I might be wrong, but......."

    I am not normally inclined to make such "bold" statements without some truth to it.

    oh cummon Steve, you know how rumours work, you state "I might be wrong but"... and some one will read it as fact.

    The story in that link merely says APR has been bought out by someone else.

    Nothing to suggest that Golf tunes, probably their biggest piece of business, won't carry on business as usual

    Oh come on Gareth,
    Let's not twist what I wrote.
    I cannot be held responsible if others read a different interpretation (just like you seem to have) to what I type.
    The story in that link backs up what I had heard, and that is "APR is no more". The fact that they have been taken over/bought out by another company adds more speculation to what guarantee or warranty one might get with an APR tune.
    The OP has a Polo. No one is talking about tuning Golfs in this thread, until you mentioned it. The OP is looking for a tune for his Polo, not a Golf.
    Someone is going to read your post and put a whole new twist on thread. Ironic isn't it?
