ACHTUNING

Combine "Achtung" with the word "Tuning" and you have ACHTUN!NG (pronounced, 'Ock-tuning'). Take a look inside your engine compartment sometime and you'll find "Achtung!" all over the place! Origins

Achtuning was founded in 2001 by Joshua Decker and Ben Moses. It all started with a shift k**b that Joshua began to import from Germany and sell online. Soon after, he found himself importing everything from turbos to complete RS4 body kits. This hobby turned into a full time passion and Achtuning was born. Josh began his German-car journey with his first VW, a 1986 VW Jetta GLI. Since then he has owned numerous Audi and VW models. Josh sold Achtuning to Bill Spencer, owner of Hartmann Wheels, in 2006. "This is a great opportunity for everyone involved," Josh said about the sale of the business. "Bill has the resources and solid customer service reputation needed to see the Achtuning brand achieve it's full potential. I'm sad to leave but I'm excited to know that the name I created will live on and become the success I always imaged it could be." In 2009 Josh founded a new internet forum for Audi enthusiasts, QuattroWorld (www.quattroworld.com) which is already one of the top Audi forums on the internet. Current Ownership

Achtuning is currently owned by Bill Spencer of Hartmann Wheels. With more than 25 years of professional experience tuning German cars Bill quickly turned Achtuning into the power house it is today. He has owned an innumerable number of German cars and is comfortable working on any of them. Bill's latest projects include an APR-claimed 500hp "Stage 4" VW Golf R and K04'd Audi A3, both of which are tracked regularly - putting to the test the quality parts offered through Achtuning.
