bar tuning doesnt have apr from as far as i know. ELM is awesome, pete is a cool ass cat.
Thanks for the help Alf. I double checked and Bar tuning does do APR flashes. Does anyone have any experience with them? The only reason I ask is because they are about 40 minutes closer to me. If they have a good rep I would most likely just go there. But if they don't, Alf has already vouched for ELM and I would bite the bullet and drive the 40 minutes. Thanks in advance guys.

Plugging into your OBD port and burning a file is plugging into your OBD port and burning a file - EITHER OF THEM CAN DO IT. We're not talking about building a Quaife six-speed tranny here or setting the timing on a TDI - it's just a simple flash. Either Hondo (ELM) or Mike (BAR) can get it done for you. No need to ask 'Who is better?'....they can both do it.
We do business with both of them and will vouch for either of them equally. Tomato, tomoto....or however you say it.
And yes, Alf has been known to spoke crack. :thumbsup:

sounds like im not the only one kellley. lol.
no i just thought that APR had been pulled from BAR, it was just word on the strizzeet. i mustve been wrong, sorry chaps.
It wasn't a question of IF they could do it. I was just curious if one had a better rep or not. Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they aren't a$$holes or unprofessional. I spoke to both shops today and Bar seemed completely uninterested and unhelpful. ELM on the other hand were very professional, friendly, and helpful. I chose ELM based on those facts. In the future if I need anything else I will call ELM. I appreciate everyones input.By the way, I am really digging the flash, car is much smoother now.

I've heard mixed stories as to whether or not Mike and BAR are still doing APR (including from him). "Yes and no" is what he told me recently. Not sure what that meant, though. We even attended the APR Distributor Conference ourselves a few weeks ago and received a strange answer as to whether or not they were still doing it, too. From what I understood - they *can* do it, but are choosing not to right now, for some reason.
