If you own a vintage VW, theres no better place in town for the frequent repairs & maintenance it requires. I joke that FP Tuned is my 69 vans second home.Tristan treats your baby like his own. He and Steven are dependable, conscientious, and knowledgeable. Over the years, theyve fixed the electrical system (including installing a sweet Bluetooth amp), the transmission, and most recently diagnosed a long-running mystery problem with the carbs. Lola, a Type II, is finally purring like a kitten.If youre looking for expertise with air-cooled engines and hard-to-find parts, youve found your partner here.
When the old A3 demands another sacrifice, Further Performance is the place to bring it. I love the vibe of this place and Tristan the owner is a great guy. There are lots of neat cars and motorcycles parked around the premises and its easy to see they live and breathe this stuff. Hes bailed me out more than once and Im happy to direct people there. (Though as I understand it, its getting way out of hand - book early!)
In 5 minutes they diagnosed my car. Look my previous mechanic had my car for 3 weeks (5 actually but had to shut down for 2 weeks because of the flue). And it still was not fixed. Further Performance hooked up the Computer to the car. The mechanic sed do this and this… It’s running perfect. Look their is no substitute for an experienced mechanic. Their awesome!
Tristan and company are my trusted go-to for high quality work. I never worry about being sold extraneous services. Dog Lucy is a bonus!
If you own a VW or an Audi and need a repair or wanna make your ride perform better than stock this is the place to go.
Great place for service or anything performance! Keep up the good work!
Thank you guys for doing outstanding work on my Audi! Will be coming back for BT build when I’m ready.
Got my S3 tuned here, very easy to set up appointment via website and text. Dropped, picked up, and paid very easily. Very good Customer service from Tristan and Clarissa. Fast and knowledgeable communication.
Further Performance has seasonal tire storage and honestly has made the process easier than I thought possible. Storage included tire swaps by the technicians and they keep track of everything. I will be using them for storage and more in the future.
Best place if you like german cars
Nice place, hope to get some work done soon.
Great service and very knowledgeable about Performance.
Great service with fair pricing on what they do. I have an MK 7 Golf R and they service it pretty good. If you want to tune your German, by all means this is the place (closes to the TC too) to go. Tristan is the expert and you will be jn good hands.
Its very difficult to find small businesses this direct and honest these days. Every time Ive gone in they are respectful, straight-forward, and seem to have a better idea of how to resolve your issues than a VW dealership. I only wish they lived closer to me!Update: They are still awesome. Just finished installing the Control Arms, MSS Sport Springs, and Camber plates for race season!
Absolutely awesome place! Super kind, knowledgeable and helpful people who always go above and beyond for their customers. The prices are beyond fair and the service is unmatched. 10/10 recommend!!
The best VW shop in town
FANTASTIC service! My wife and 4-year old son and I were driving cross country in our 2002 Eurovan Weekender when our serp belt shredded and our power steering failed completely. I called Further Performance and Tristan correctly diagnosed our problem over the phone, then promptly ordered the necessary parts so work could begin as soon as we arrived by tow. Not only did the mechanics know their stuff, they gave our family a loaner car for a few hours so we could get something to eat while they worked. The work itself was top-notch. They cleaned the effected area of all belt shrapnel, replaced the broken parts, and even checked our tire pressure to ensure we were good to continue on. Because of this shop, we were able to keep our camping reservations in Badlands, Tetons, and Yellowstone without missing a beat. We would recommend Further Performance to any VW owners. Thank you again!
A great place to go when you want fair priced and higher quality work than what a dealer can provideI was having oil consumption issues (1L/1k miles). Went to the dealer and paid over $300 to have it investigated. They had no solution and did nothing.Went to Further Performance to have it looked at and have my car tuned (Audi 3.0 TFSI +~100hp and ft/lb) and Tristan recommend an oil change (with different spec oil)After the tune and new oil, I am no longer having oil consumption (2.5k miles in)Additionally, Tristan is very knowledgeable. The APR tune I wanted had bugs in the code for my car and he recommended a tune from HP Motorsports which worked flawlessly.
These guys are real talent
Very great service 👏👍
Great service, and personable as possible given the times. Great work, and great shop. Not cheap, but NOTHING high quality is!!! These guys are exactly that, a high quality shop.
Shop that can perform regular or extremely modified work. Subaru engine in a vw bus? No problem. These are real car guys with real experience and they make sure your and your cars needs are met. Thanks Tristan and Matt!
I took a 2001 Porsche 911 into Further Performance to have them do a Pre-Purchase Inspection before I committed to buy. It was a great experience talking with the techs and Tristan. Tristan let me in the back to see the underside of the car etc, so I could see for myself. All in all a rad place to get your European vehicle maintained, modded or race car built. They do it all there.
They know thier schnitt
Honest and timely service by guys and gals who know their stuff.EDIT 12/27: on a recent service, my car was going to be done late.The Owner came in, on his day off, on the Friday before Christmas weekend to finish my car. Amazing customer service. Can’t recommend enough!!
This shop is top notch. Tristan’s passion for cars is clearly evident in the work his shop provides. Customer service goes a long way in this industry and I have nothing but positive things to say. Bring your car here with confidence!
Tristan and his crew have always come through for me. Earlier in the year I needed a whole new fuel system for my 2012 VW Bug and they put it all together in a timely manner at a price that beat all others. Just had a little water damage problem to a couple sensors and once again the team put their exceptional skills to work and had my car back to me in no time. I’ve brought multiple cars to Further and will continue to do so far into the future. Thanks again to everyone at Further Performance!
Very professional and friendly. They do a fantastic job on any project they take on. If you want to tune your car look no further.
I took my Volkswagen GTI in to Further Performance shortly after I purchased it for a full inspection. Tristan and Camble were extremely knowledgeable, and friendly in letting me know which repairs I needed and which I didnt. The work they did was top notch and Im very satisfied.
Further is in my opinion the best Audi shop in town. They care deeply about doing the highest quality service and having the best people technicians to complete the work. Its why you choose them.
Mike and Tristan are great! They are very kind and courteous. I really appreciate that they gladly answer all my questions and share their knowledge of VWs, specifically the R32. I learn something new every time I bring my car in and I get excellent service.Dont hesitate to bring your vehicle to them, it will be in great hands.Thank you, Further Performance!
The crew at Further Performance just did some recent work on my Audi and I couldnt be more happy of the over all service and experience I had with them. (Frank you are a wrenching wizard!) The new shop is great! Keep up with the awesome work you guys!
Awesome experience! Ive got a Evo X, and needed the rear fenders rolled. They did an AMAZING job at an awesome price. Couldnt be happier! Everyone there is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to work with! Couldnt be happier! Keep up the good work guys!
I brought in my 71 LeMans for some mechanical work and Tristan made sure to keep in touch with me from start to finish and making sure I understood everything that was going on. Couldnt have been happier about the work and service.
Great service, great customer service, everything I bought was most definitely worth the price. My #1 Go-to car shop for my Volkswagen! I definitely recommend this shop.
Brought my Audi A4 in for the APR Software upgrade and the downpipe. Mike was great and you always felt like you were their only customer. Great place and they know their stuff. I will keep going back for other add-on toys. Thank you Mike.
I gave them a 4 since no one is perfect but they come damn close. I have been going here for the last five years for my Audi, and these guys are so friendly, honest, and know their stuff. I would not take my Audi anywhere else .
Absolute experts. Always honest and fair prices.
Great bunch of guys to do business with.Great prices. Plethora of knowledge.Fun too!
Great guys, who know their stuff. No BS and straight to the point. Recommend for anyone who needs euro work done.
These guys are definitely the best in town. Any issue and request Ive had they have fit me in at a moments notice and got done whats needed to be done. The pricing is fair for parts and labor and I would have no issue highly recommending to anyone with a VAG car to have anything and everything done at Further.
If you own a European vehicle and live in the twin cities area then this is a place I’d highly recommend giving a try. Very knowledgeable staff and competitively priced.
They do a great job whether your VW is old or new! Always fun to see what cool cars are parked outside too!
Mike and the gang there are great and their love of cars (R32) comes through as you chat with them.Very knowledgeable folks.
Customer Service is excellent and these guys know their stuff and do quality work! Highly recommended!!! Thank you to the entire team at Further Performance!
My cousin owns this shop. Top-notch restoration shop for Porsche, BMW and VW. Also regular service, but they are often booked up!
Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Really appreciated them fitting us in later in the day and the attention to detail.
Good Friendly and quality work!They truly care about the car and the customer.Will be going there again for more GTI upgrades!
My go to place when I need work done on any of my VWs/Audis. Always friendly and very knowledgeable, I have picked their brains many times over the years when *I* am trying to diagnose and fix an issue myself.You cant go wrong with these guys.
I have nearly 15 years of experience not only working with businesses of ALL kinds, but also with a variety of customer service related facets.I have only had the pleasure of working with 2 personnel here, but believe me when I say that BOTH were top notch, period!With a glitch occurring with my software they installed nearly 2 years prior, and running it flawlessly, a very rare occurrence happened. I was able to make an appointment promptly, which is always a GREAT start when theres a concern with your only vehicle. Upon arrival, Tristan obtained a brief explanation and took my vehicle into the garage. Despite not finding the exact cause, he did reflash the file with hope of just trying to do something. It didnt help that APR customer service was non existent seeing as he was on hold for nearly a half hour, but with no support from the tuning company, he took it into his own hands and was willing to try troubleshooting with the knowledge at hand!Luckily for me, the engine code hasnt returned since the reflash, so his efforts definitely paid off! From a BIG PICTURE standpoint however, this is the 2nd occasion where they promptly and professionally took care of my concerns, and I could not be ANY happier, seriously! These guys have went above and beyond with me, and thats honestly a hard thing to accomplish with my firm but fair customer service standards developed over the past 15 years.Ultimately, not only would I recommend Further Performance to anyone and everyone WITHOUT even thinking twice, but I will also be a customer of theirs until it is no longer an option, end of story!Cheers,Norm Picha
Tristan and the crew do a great job and obviously care about the product they put out. I definitely recommend them!!!
Good repair service. Honest and upfront about what needs to get repaired and what is not a priority. Did misdiagnose a minor thing: the need for a fuse box when the real problem was a bad/ corroded ground wire to the engine, but no one is perfect....
I had an appointment June 7th at 2:30 pm to have inlets installed in my 2008 bmw 335i, when i got there i had to wait till 3:30 pm till my car was even looked at. The guy at the font desk originally quoted me for an hour even after seeing the kit online, but when they looked and realized it was going to be a 3/4 hour job they tried telling me the kit would not fit. All that needed to be done was using a heat gun to remove the plastic connectors on the OEM diverter valves return tubes. The mechanic acted like it needed to be shaved down or fabricated to fit my vehicle. SO, they they charge me 2 hours of labor and then tell me they are 3 to 4 weeks booked out. Pretty funny how they call themselves a performance shop when they cant do a job that people in their garage are having done in a couple hours.
These guys genuinely like to help their customer and share their passion in German cars. The shop pet Lucy is the sweetest pitbull Ive ever met.
Back in May 09 I was driving cross country from Oregon to Pennsylvania and my 1990 Jetta started leaking gear oil from the axle flange seal.I left a message late night on the voice mail and Tristan Henderson the owner called me back. These guys fixed my car first thing in the morning and charged me a really kind price.Good mechanics are hard to find, these guys knew I would probably never take my car there again and they still gave me A+ service and charged me a very fair price (cheaper than I expect)
If you have a VW or Audi and live close id highly recommend you stop in next time you need any service done! Mike is super helpful and keeps you in the loop of whats going on with your car.
They know their stuff, and if you want stuff to be done right, give them a call.
They know their stuff!
They say they open at 8am. But have been calling since 8am and it is now 9:20am and they still wont pick up the phone. I guess they dont need customers.
I always knew my 2002 Jetta TDI was in good hands with the crew at Further Performance. Good price, quick service and straightforward explanations.
Everyone here is super friendly and very knowledgeable of VW/Audi. They will go above and beyond expectations.
Brought in my non running 66 beetle. Got back fully functional beetle. These guys know their aircooled vws!
Brought in my MK7 Golf R to install the downpipe and run an APR Stage 2 tune and couldnt be happier. These guys are friendly and definitely know their way around VWs and Audis. Ill definitely be bringing in my Golf R to them if I need to have anything else installed that I cant do myself or if I run into any issues with the car.
Tristan and crew are great!
Tristan and Crew did nice work with my classic.
Great staff, knowledgeable, friendly, on time, thorough.
Tristan, Mike, Frank, Matt, and crew are the best when it comes to aircooled and watercooled VWs. Friendly and knowledgeable with great customer service and reasonably priced for the level of thoroughness they perform. I will always bring my VWs here.
I had a 2001 Audi Allroad that flooded the inside of my car due to blocked drains under the front window cowl. Unknown to me, I later discovered that this was due to a design defect and a judge ruled against Audi in a class action lawsuit in 2009. Unfortunately, the Minnetonka Audi dealer performed a pre-purchase inspection and never informed me about this problem and that I needed to clean the drains at least once a year.In any case, because all of the computer modules under the floor had to be replaced. My insurance company wanted to replace with salvage modules but Tristan at Further Performance worked with claims adjuster to recover full value of my car as there was no guarantee that salvage parts would notpresent continuing problems in the future.Following this experience, I brought a 2006 Audi A6 to Further Performance for a pre-purchase inspection and Tristan identified several repairs that were needed before he would sign off on the inspection. As a result, the seller agreed to correct these items at his expense which saved me many dollars. Beyond that, Tristan (and Mike) have always been willing to answer follow up questions I have had since my purchase and I will definitely be taking the Audi to Further Performance for future maintenance and repairs...Great Guys!!!!
