Default Getting my C7 flashed on Sunday

Local shop is doing a flash day with Stasis. I've never had a flashed car nor saw the need, but this is too convenient.

You realize of course there are potential warranty issues. In fact the dealer will most likely make you sign a wavier. Chances are this won't happen of course but should a problem occur....it won't be covered by the Audi warranty even if the Stasis is installed by a dealer - go figure. IMO, Audi needs to buy Stasis and offer these services like BMW offers Dinan.

If you look at their website, you will see that they have Audi Dealers as "Authorized" dealers where they offer a factory matching warranty.

That being said there is a second class of independent installers that only offer a limited warranty.

I think the BMW/Dinan romance has been over for a while. Dinan still offers a warranty that matches the BMW factory warranty, but it's not approved by BMW.

From my understanding... Authorized Stasis Audi dealers are just this:

You buy a brand new Audi @ Dealership. Car has 4 yr/50,000 coverage

New or soon, have Stasis products installed. Say when the car is 1 year old, with 10k miles.

A year later, something breaks. Suspension goes wrong, you have Stasis suspension products... Audi of USA, will NOT pay for repairs or cover it... But, that dealership you purchased everything out, can do the repairs, and bill Stasis. Stasis has assumed the remaining part of you factory warranty, when the repair is considered related to their product

Somebody correct me if i'm wrong?

which shop is doing the flash this weekend? how much?

by the way, I can't find the C7 A6 3.0T flash info on Stasis website. What type of gain can we expect?

thanks.

Just google "stasis flash socal" and you'll find the info you need. Two of the three shops hosting these installs happen to be Audi dealers and the third is an authorized Stasis dealer.

I obviously know the warranty "risk" involved and was just sharing my excitement with fellow C7 enthusiasts. Look forward to tomorrow and will report back on the gains.
