Default APR > GIAC
ARP stands behind their products, a couple people in my Audi club have been back stabbed by GIAC.

Yeah but past practices from APR on the forums have been questionable. B6 chips come to mind

Default A guy in my club with an S4 had bad chips and was stranded twice in 4 weeks...GIAC wouldn't refund
And there was a time I still hold against them where they bad mounthed the dealer tech for an engine blow up.....before they even knew what happened. Turned out it was something else that caused the problem, but Garrett posted on the forums that it was the tech's fault. Bad form.

But in all, I am sure there are the same stories about all chip tuners. Not everyone is going to be happy all the time.
