I've been using them since I got my GTI a few years ago and a lot more often since I bought my TDI **cough** LEMON to save money which has ended up needed everything bar the ashtray replacing. Fantastic service by genuine enthusiasts - The best VAG specialists around Northampton IMO :happy2:

That's what I wanted to do bud, but when I spoke to Evan at APR, he said they had moved there "European office" to Germany!! That sucks! So uk one is closed.

Cheers for the reassurance! They seem like genuine enthusiasts, so hopefully can find a trusted, fairly local garage to look after me!

APR told me to go to VRS, with a completely immobile car. Then I got a hard time from APR for not going to their place in MK after it had closed.

I wonder if the likes of Awesome GTI will revert back to REVO now.

I'd imagine it depends on which way the fanboy/scene/flavour of the month tuner wind blows...?

Why?

APR still exists, the main European office has just moved to Germany, it changes nothing. They came to the UK setup a dealer network, and now they are planning on doing the same in Europe.

As for revo's current situation, I don't think awesome GTI or AMD will take them back anytime soon
