    Tuner Friendly Audi Dealership NOVA

    I have an S7 with the APR tune and AWE exhaust, no other mods. I want to take my car for service and I live in Northern Virginia. Can anybody recommend a "tuner friendly" Audi dealership?
    I used to take my old S7 to Audi in Miami, the head service guy was heavily into tuning.

    Around here you are rolling the dice. I have had some good guys out in Chantilly, but they aren't there anymore. This was one of the main reasons i went EPL for my tune as i am about to go in for my first service. They never gave me a hard time for my exhaust, intake and other goodies on my modded S4 before this car.
    I am about to take my car in for service and i could post some feedback after everything is done if you want.

    I'm gonna test the waters this week at Rockville Audi... Def don't want to be flagged. I'll post an update either way.

    Always the option to flash back prior to taking it in.

    X2 on going with EPL tune. Having the ability to flash the car back to stock myself before taking the car in is priceless.

    Having dealt with Rockville before I wouldn't be surprised if you're flagged. I've found them to be very unhelpful. Good luck.

    I live in Richmond too. Brad seemed cool about being tuned when I spoke with him. However, I think AoA is increasingly taking things out of the dealers hands when it comes to warranty work.Everything I'm reading is that AoA simply won't approve warranty work submitted by a dealer unless they hook the car up and they can see whether the ECU has been messed with whether youv'e flashed back to stock or not. Simply put, if you want to tune, assume your warranty is at risk.

    Picked car up Friday, no flag!!! SAs I spoke with were cool about the tune and also let me know the best way to schedule an appointment and be sure to avoid a "by the book employee."
