Worst Place ever. I remember when the guys used to work for dynocomp and they say they left but i think they got fired. Took my car in to get chipped the idiots short circuited my servos car died 200 yards from the shop. insted of them helping me push the car in the shop my buddy and i had to push my fatass b6 a4 and then they kept the car for 4 days broke the ecu mount and charged me $90 for labor.

NEVER go to them worst experience ever they have a bunch of kids working on cars we told them it was the servos but the 17 year olds think they know my car better.. ohh to make it better they also broke of my windshield wiper. im frustrated wanted to share it with you guys

servos? im no electrical engineer... but can you clarify what you think they did wrong? it was my understanding that b6 a4 ecu's were able to be flashed, and didnt have to open up the ecu for soldering a chip in, like the older cars.

x3.

I'm not clear on what you mean by servos. If Goodspeed treated you poorly, it's fine to let us know about it, but your explanation doesn't make sense to me or to AudiTechS4- so what, exactly, failed?

I kinda feel like people like to pull the pin, throw it, but not stick around to see if it goes off...

Fair enough analogy???

I've never heard any bad feedback about them.

His post doesn't make any sense to me. The only things I know about on these cars that can be classified as servos, are the small motors in the HVAC system that open and close ports to control air flow.

Servo=electrical motor

Didn't know there were electrical motors in the ecu or having anything to do with that process. Hmmm

Well what happened was the car was taken in working Perfectly just had the whole thing redone timing belt changed all the coils changes. Took it in and got it flashed. basically while i was at the shop the employees treated us like idiots. i was looking at some of the part and everyting i would come near he would say " i wouldnt touch that" the flash (apr) took 45minutes and i was given my car back. Took the car out and merged into traffic car shook violently and stalled. The relays were all burnt out. sorry i didnt realize i wrote servos i was writing a paper and took a break from it to rant

Still makes no sense man. you got your car flashed and
then all your relays burnt out?? what relays?Maybe it was your coils going bad and couldnt produce enough voltage to spark with the added boost in the cylinders?

either way your dumb for writing this and bashing on a shop that did an otc flash and then your car has a problem.What did you have to replace to get it running because relays for audi's aren't cheap and dont go bad very often

We reflash probably a few a week and have never had and issue with one of them in like 2 years. We did have some issues with O.CT in the past thats why we are APR now. I wonder what they could have done wrong its pretty simple.

Well there's the mistake! No Audi is working perfectly!

My gut tells me, with the limited info you have provided, that there is some other issue goin on with the car that has nothing to do with the APR file you got. Other than the fact that it may have "amplified" an already existing issue.

For example, if you have a small boost leak... normal driving with a stock ECU may not bring out the symptoms. But, jack your boost up to 20psi and your leak all of a sudden becomes VERY noticeable.
