    Every now and then I'll just post up random pics or posts about what we've done... Just to give everyone an idea of what it is we do around here. (Not much! )



    For those that do not know us, welcome and I hope we have a chance to meet you in person someday. Achtuning is owned by Hartmann Wheels and we specialize in VW and Audi performance upgrades, supplying nationwide distributors and retail customers like you with quality parts by APR, H&R, StopTech, and of course Hartmann Wheels. We are located in Redmond, Washington just south of the Willows Golf Course and very close to the Microsoft Campus. If you plan to stop by for a visit, we are open between 10am and 6pm Monday through Friday.



    Basically what we do on a daily basis includes the obvious forum advertising, processing phone & online orders, APR chip-tuning, shipping out product, performance installation, and mounting new wheels and tires to our customer cars.

    Have a question you want to post and have us to answer here on the forum? Any future plans or modifications you plan to have Achtuning perform on your car and want to share? Post up!! Get to know us here and we welcome everyone's participation!

    Benchmark Motoring's recent 987 Cayman project... We provided them some H&R Sport Springs to lower the car and APR chip-tuning to bump up the power.

    i think you should post pictures of the staff and have them write a little "personal" ad about themselves.

    Todd just got a set of powder-coated black CSL reps wrapped in some Falken RT-615 tires for his bimmer. He wanted a set of track wheels. I told him to pop in some center caps so I can take a picture for him but he hasn't done that yet... Plus he's got the car out getting tech inspected. I'll post up pics when I get a chance to take some.

    That's boring. Plus I'm usually the one on the opposite side of the lens.

    And of course there'll be a BBQ!!

    If it's from H&R, Hartmann Wheels, Neuspeed, STÄTUS, and StopTech we're all over it! Our online catalog is not a complete representation of parts we are able to get for you and as it's a never-ending battle for Skyler to keep up with all the new applications so I wouldn't wait to be able to place an online order for your Mk3. Give me a call, send an IM, or email us for a quote on parts you need and we will be happy to take care of you!

    Rumor also has it our new location will allow us to offer more services. Many many big and exciting changes to come!!

    This x2 for me!! I would drop some serious cash with you guys for mk3 goodies. Starting a new VR6T GTi project soon. Which brings me to some questions:

    Do you guys have a dyno?
    Can you mount tires on my powdercoated and polished BBS RS rims? I dont trust just "ANY" tire shop with these babies.
    If you ordered mk3 parts about how long would it take to get in? And who do you work with for mk3 parts?

    We installed the first set of 5x100 Hartmann Euromesh 4 wheels on a VW today! These are 18x8 with a 32mm offset and spaced with H&R's DR-series 5mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers out back. Wrapped in some 225/40-18 Blizzak LM60 tires, this Golf is ready for this Winter season!

    Do you guys have a show room or anything to come to the shop and check out some product, etc? I've been wanting to check out your guy's shop and Speedware in 1 trip. Plus I can go play Disc golf over off Avondale while I'm down there, haha

    We do actually. Small at the current location but you'll at least be able to see the products we sell since we stock almost everything.

    Did we miss something here (new store?) or does that mean never about the couch?

    There are plans for Achtuning to move to a larger, more retail friendly location. As some of you know, the Hartmann Wheel office (Achtuning's new home) is a bit "hidden" as Hartmann Wheels was primarily wholesale. With the acquisition of Achtuning and our need for more storage with the number of wheels and products we stock, we felt we were due for a larger facility.

    We've "talked" about it for a while like a lot of the things we "want" to do but of course priorities tend to get in the way. When plans are finalized, you can be sure we'll keep you posted. Plans are to stay here in Redmond.
