    chipped car

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys..
    so here's my question
    I'm looking to get my car chipped
    I still have a full year on the original manufacturer's warranty so my friend that works at an audi dealership suggested I get it done at PFAFF since they're the only tuning shop that honours the original warranty even after chipping the car
    after talking with the guys at PFAFF they'll do a GIAC flash chip for $660 plus tax
    is it worth it to go with PFAFF simply cuz of the warranty factor and their good reputation or should I just get it done for cheaper somewhere else??

    any input is much appreciated, thanks

    pfaff is where its at, secondly, they will still cover you under warranty if anything goes wrong since you did it through them

    Just do it at Pfaff. Getting it chipped somewhere else is gonna cost about the same.

    Also, for peace of mind, I chipped my car at 180,000km. It's now at 225,000km, no issues, running strong.

    If you hold out a little, I hear there is going to be a GIAC pricing adjustment shortly...

    I've had my car chipped since about 3,000km ( ya, thats right, 3 ) with various other programs. Never had any issues with them not covering warranty issues.

    just do it

    hummm...APR is not $660. its only $499, the guys at H2sport do APR. I dont know what they are giving you for 660 though...if they are giving you more programs it may be different...
