I was referred to these guys after trying a few other local shops that just didn't cut the mustard. Wow! I can easily see why these guys have been in business for 20yrs. From the communication up front to the expertise of the techs notes, I have now found my Volkswagen whisperers. They are quite busy and booked out for a week but I now understand why.

I have had German Sports Cars for decades, including several high end BMWs and more recently Porsches (currently 911 Carrera GTS). My daughter's car ( 2017 GTI SE manual) which was serviced at the local VW dealer threw a check engine light. Spark plug electrode broke and scored a cylinder. VW service advisor was honest enough to suggest we don't do the engine replacement there. Took it to another highly rated indy in Raleigh and they just quoted the long block and nothing else. Took it to Apex Tuning and they suggested that since the car had 65K miles and the engine was out to go ahead and do a full transmission service (clutch, flywheel, limited slip fluid). This impressed me since they really thought about the well being of the car. Highly recommended. Fair pricing and great customer care. One of the best indy's I have ever dealt with (other being the local Porsche indy, European Performance).

Apex Tuning has been taking care of my 2015 VW Tiguan since I moved to the Raleigh area in 2022. They take care of every service and maintenance requirement. I have complete confidence in them and would not consider going anywhere else.

Great experience, would definitely recommend! I brought my MK7 GTI for APR stage 1 performance software. The guys were very helpful and answered all my questions via email, and my appointment was quick and easy. Thank you!

I have been a customer of Apex Tuning in Apex, NC, for my Volkswagen Mk6 GTI, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Over the years, they’ve performed several major services on my vehicle, including a transmission replacement, flywheel installation, valve cover reseal, and timing chain replacement. Each service was executed with exceptional professionalism and expertise. What sets Apex Tuning apart is their commitment to thorough inspections and diagnostics. Whenever I encounter an issue beyond my mechanic knowledge or comfort zone, I have complete trust in their team to handle it. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident, as they consistently go above and beyond for their customers. In my opinion, Apex Tuning is the best mechanic shop for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles in the area. Their knowledge, professionalism, and customer service are unparalleled. If you’re seeking a trustworthy and skilled team to care for your vehicle, go to Apex Tuning.

Got my car worked on here a while ago (close to 2yrs), and every major service has held up exceptionally. They put in a new clutch for me, and it's been great since, they also put in a new turbo on my TDI, and that's been great too. The car has been exceptionally reliable since then, and I haven't had to do anything underneath it besides oil changes. One weird thing though is that whenever I replaced my turbo piping earlier today, I noticed all of the hose clips were weirdly sideways, like they had lined up the bottom part of the band and not bothered to line up the top part. There was double imprints on the rubber hoses from the original location, and then the sideways one. (And I haven't worked on anything since it was sent there) The car feels astoundingly more responsive than when I got it back from them a few years ago, and part of me wonders if it's cause the clamp coming off the turbo wasn't holding the hose on all the way. Either that or the old piping may have had a hole somewhere. I'm unsure. Anyways, great service. Everything has held up great nearly 2 years later. Only rating 4 stars because of how hard it is to contact them about a new appointment I wanted to make. I understand being busy, but I really just want to talk to a human.

My husband brought his Audi S3 here to get a new turbo! And they left the car perfect 🤩 They were very helpful and definitely worth the money and time! Can’t thank them enough for making my husband drive his car with a BIG smile on his face 😊 Thank you Daniel and your crew!!

Had the 40k Service for my Audi Q5 done here. Pricing was competitive, communication was top notch, and work was done in half the time I expected. The whole team, Kevin, Evan, & Van were great to deal with. If you have a VW group vehicle, this is *the* place to go for service.

Just had another visit and these guys continue to impress me with their knowledge and fair pricing. These guys are amazing! They have saved a ton of money vs. the estimates that I received from the dealership. Daniel and Evan are the best, I totally trust my Audi with them. They are very busy but there is a reason for that!

My whole experience with Apex Tuning was great! It was smooth and hassle free. They were able to get my VW Beetle in for an appointment very quickly and then I had it back in 1 day. My car was fixed for a great price and everyone I talked to was very very nice!

I’ve had the pleasure of working Kevin and the Apex Tuning team over the past year through Audi Club Carolina events as they’re a big sponsor. Through one event, Kevin’s team installed an APR Stage 1 on my 2018 Audi Q5 last year and the performance has been very noticeable and a whole lot more fun to drive. One of my favorite events that Apex Tuning does is a Toy’s for Tot’s event in December and it grows every year with participation and donations of toys. Thanks for all you and your team does at Apex Tuning!

I have been using Apex Tuning for years with all of my VW repairs, tunes and modifications all with timely turnaround times. Amazing customer service, top notch work and I can honestly call these guys friends all from the commonality of VWs. I highly recommend them for any repairs or modifications you may need.

I can not say enough good things about Apex Tuning. They’ve worked on my Porsche Cayenne in the past, recently replaced the drive shaft for a great price, and were super responsive regarding all my questions. They are experts when it comes to Euro cars; I highly recommend this great team!

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Great guys to do business with. My Jetta had a cracked DPF and it was time to take care of a few other scheduled maintenance items. I dropped the car off and it was ready 2 days later. The DPF got taken care of and it got an engine and tranny tune. Fuel mileage has greatly increased and the car is running great. I definitely recommend these guys and will be back in the future.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, quick to answer any questions that you may have in depth. They respond very quickly over email, and I was surprised about how fast they were able to schedule my service. I also appreciated the transparency with pricing, and not being upsold on other services. I genuinely prefer this shop over both Audi dealerships in the area.
