Steer clear of this place, it's no good period.
When I picked up my GTI in January 2010 I had them do my APR Stage 2 install and full exhaust a few months later. The ECU flash was fine but it took them 2 days to install my exhaust!!
They claimed they had trouble with the install, which was extremely straight forward and the exhaust came with plenty of documentation.
I picked it up the following morning and there were rattles and I popped my o2 sensor right off... the car sounded like a tractor. It was a disaster... once I got those things taken care of I brought my car to Tyrol Sport in Queens and they told me I had multiple exhaust leaks due to it being installed poorly. Everything is fine now because I never brought my car there ever again. The people that run the place aren't bad but they just don't know what they're doing and the shop is a straight up dump.
I really believe they are not worthy of being an APR dealer.
Last month I took my car to Eurotech Motorsports in Mahwah, NJ for an install and they did a phenomenal job. They are also an APR dealer and are located about 10-15 minutes from Rapid. Ryan and Danek and real nice guys and are super accommodating... they treat your car like it's their own. They specialize in Audi and Volkswagen, I highly recommend them.

its Lash VW in white plains. Bought my gti there and had it flashed stage 1. Hard to tell the about the apr stuff, the tech who did my flash seemed knowledgeable but
the place is like a year old so everyone is real new. Im not sure where to get my DP and stage 2 done b/c its more involved obviously than a stage 1 job so im not sure such a new place is up to it

Eurotech Motorsports is an APR dealer as well. APR is better quality tune than REVO IMO.

got mine done at lash vw as well. people who work there are friendly but kinda clueless about apr stuff. the tech was really nice and knowledgeable though. he has an r32 and seems really interested in mods. spent 20 minutes shooting the shit and teaching me how to operate the software.
i called rapid, but they seemed a little unfriendly over the phone. on top of that they charged labor for the install while lash did not. and they are only open m-f.

they do charge tax and some random charge for 12 dollars i think. still beats paying another 90 on top of that for labor.

Because Rapid is a joke, if APR saw the condition of that place they'd easily remove their association with them.
Eurotech only charges half hour labor for the flash which was like 40 bucks.
If your in North Jersey it's much easier to go there than drive up to White Plains.

$40? Eurotech gave me a higher quote than that for service charge.

My ECU didn't have to be pulled out, I was only charged half hour labor to update my APR software to the newest version.
