Default Rapid Parts Monsey Ny...Never By anything from them

I got My S4 chipped there, they sold me a bad chip almost frying my ecu. Has anyone ever had to push their S4 2 miles? Not a pretty site. My friend also got his TT chipped thier any the same thing happened. If anyone has gotten a chip from Rapid within the last 2 months I would concider calling them back because they recieved a bad shipment of chips. Customer service also sucks

Was it the chip or was it the installation of the chip? Don't knock the chip itself.

Back in my VW days, I always used them - they were fine then. I guess Audi isn't their cup'o'tea.

Default Not directed at you but, I always tell people to get a spare ECU period.

These ECUs are being popped open and destructed and restructured. Anything can happen.
