$210 to install a $600 APR tune?

Wow. This just keeps getting better and better...

So I called the shop yesterday to ask them a couple more questions. My first question, is the $210 negotiable and do they ever run any promotions. Their answer was "No".

My second question, if I pull the ECU myself and bring it in, do they still charge a fee? The guy quickly responded back stating they *have* to have the car to do some other tweaks beside pulling out the ECU...

Does this make sense to anyone? I can send my ECU into APR without them ever touching my car.

Perhaps a phone call to APR to let them know what this dealer is saying?

DO NOT get it tuned there... Call APR or plan a road trip with friends and get it done in a surrounding state. The drive to Colorado is fun if you go through Grand Junction. Great scenery and a fun twisty road through the mountains.
