The service consultant I worked with, Wojciech, was professional and interested in making sure the car repairs necessary were done in a cost effective manner. Safety was foremost in his thoughts. His professional and interested in making sure the car repairs necessary were done in a cost effective manner. Safety was foremost in his thoughts. His advice regarding service/maintenance emphasized the fact that being 'penny wise and pound foolish' can backfire--more damage incurred and a higher price tag comes with putting off for tomorrow what absolutely needs to be done today.. I appreciated being given the information necessary to make informed choices. More

I purchased my car from this dealership in 2005. Since then, I have had all of my service (routine, warranty and minor repairs) done by them. In all that time, I have not had a bad customer experience. It then, I have had all of my service (routine, warranty and minor repairs) done by them. In all that time, I have not had a bad customer experience. It has been exceptional. From the service managers to the cashiers to the technicians, everyone is professional, helpful and friendly. On my most recent visit, CK was my service advisor and he answered all of my questions, made sure I was aware of some important recall information and gave me a very accurate estimate on when my car would be ready. Finally, they give customers free car washes. Do not underestimate the value of a free car wash in March in Chicago! More

I was researching different options for improving the performance of my 2010 WB Jetta. Among the Chip tuning companies I considered were GIAC, APR, Revo and Unitronic. I finally settled on APR due to the performance of my 2010 WB Jetta. Among the Chip tuning companies I considered were GIAC, APR, Revo and Unitronic. I finally settled on APR due to the ability to change tuning programs using the cruise control stalk. During my research I also found out about a relatively new product to help protect my turbo engine. This product is made by a manufacturer of VW OE air, oil and fuel filters and is unique in that it separates air and oil from the turbo blow back and routes the separated oil back to the oil sump. When I found out the Mt. Prospect Autobarn was now an APR dealer I called with questions and spoke with Jason. He answered all my questions regarding the upgrade process, pricing and results attained from previous similar work. I asked if there had been any previous installations of the air oil separator, He did mention one previous instance in which the dealersips service department was called upon to correct what the customer attempted to do himself. Since this was a fairly new product with sparse application/installation specific data I decided to hold off on this one aspect until there was a larger body of knowledge. Jason also promised to see what he could find out about this product (Mann Provent 200) from his supplier contacts and was suggested less elegant alternatives. I told him I had some other unrelated issues that needed sorting out and I would call back in a couple of days. Two days later I called Jason and set up my appointment to install my APR stage I tune. He also mentioned Carbonio intakes for my car were also available. I told him I was good since I already installed a K&N air filter. The day of my appointment Jason mentioned his attempts to get further application specific information from the manufacturer were so far futile he also asked if I considered installing a three inch downpipe. I explained I read on VWVortex about people with stage I tunes and three inch downpipes reverting back to stock downpipes since they felt the slightly increased resistance helped performance. He also said the increased performance would require 5k oil change intervals instaed of 10k. I told him I was already a step ahead since I did a break in oil change at 1500, another at 5k and I will bring my car back at 10k. Next my car was treated to the beautiful alchemy of an APR stage I tune. The only cons I can think of is that the entire process took longer than expected. Close to three hours start to finish. I was expecting something closer to 90 minutes. The other was I was told to expect email of owners documentation from the dealership/APR which I still have yet to receive. I did get an APR owners manual with instructions on how change programs and actual instruction on how to program before I left. More
