S4 service at APS Automotive Performance Services
Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 1:26 pm
Just took my newly acquired 25,000 mile W reg S4 Avant down to the guys at APS to be checked over - oh and remapped, of course.
In the past, I've had an RS2 and an S3 looked after by AMD, but in the last year or so, everyone I knew there seems to have left! But now I've found out where they've gone!! (Hi Ed & Nathan!)
Anyway, it was so good to go back to dealing with a garage who a) know what they're doing, and b) actually care about it as well. The time they spent checking everything out was as if the car was their own, they even managed to get hold of a full set of discs & pads for the car without being given any warning, and at £40/hr labour, they're really good value. When you think about the labour content of some of the chunkier engine conversions, it's a lot more affordable than others in the area!!
As for the remap, just what I expected, in gear acceleration more like my old RS2, predictable, smooth and FAST! And no worse fuel economy.
So thanks again guys, good to be dealing with you again, see you for the next service & whatever else you can find for me!
