European Performance Tuning in Nashville, TN
So, you’ve bought a European car and it’s not quite performing the way you want it. Oftentimes, European cars are built with the destination in mind and many cars bound for North America are programmed to reduce power. This is a significant difference when you compare it to their Euro counterparts. A tune rectifies this difference.
Traditionally, for many cars, it can seem like extracting more power and pushing the performance envelope can be an expensive endeavor. And often times, the results are mediocre at best. However, the good news is that later model European cars can often have both increased power and performance with a simple software tune.
How Performance Tuning Works
First, we discuss your tuning goals and help decide what types of modifications should be made. Based on the type and condition of the car and, of course, your budget, there are plenty of options to choose from. Every change made to your car should be considered carefully. That’s where we come in to help ensure you get the right upgrade for you and your car.
There are a number of ways that we accomplish your upgrade goals. For example, reflashing the car’s computer can allow for more air and fuel results in the increased power. Additionally, more traditional options such as intake and exhaust upgrades increase the enjoyment of your car. Suspension upgrades can also enhance your driving experience and enjoyment, as can brake upgrades.
No matter your car’s make or model, our professionals can get the job done. Whether you’re looking for Audi repair, Porsche repair, or VW repair in Nashville or surrounding cities, let German Performance Options take care of performance tuning for you.
What Are the Limits of Performance Tuning?
Please note, there are rules. We will not perform any upgrades that are not street legal (unless it’s obviously a track-only car). For all upgrades, we require a brief discussion so that we can better understand your goals. This is simply to make sure that the upgrades will meet your expectations. Lastly, we will not install or consult on any sub-standard equipment. Going fast is fun – as is improved handling and shorter stopping distances – but it must be both safe and legal.
You’ve made an important investment in your European car. Now, you’re looking for some serious upgrades. At GPO Tuning (German Performance Options), we specialize in improving your car’s performance in a safe and reliable way.

Performance Upgrades for German Vehicles
Performance Tuning
Performance Tunes for Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz are a quick and simple way to gain power without the need for much hardware most of the time. Depending on your vehicle, it may be as simple as flashing a tune on the ECU without the need for any other additional parts. You can expect to gain a significant amount of power from a simple tune on both turbo charged and supercharged vehicles.
Stage 1 tunes are the most conservative way to gain power. Most of the time, stage 1 tunes increase horsepower and torque without risking reliabiliy, but this is dependent on the tune you choose and how well the vehicle is maintained.
Supporting Performance Part Upgrades
Most performance tunes past stage 1 require additional hardware to ensure your vehicle performs consistently and reliably. Some of the parts commonly recommended include:
- Performance Air Intake
- Upgraded Intercooler
- Downpipe
- Upgraded Spark Plugs
- Upgraded Fuel Systems (Injectors, Fuel Pump)
- Performance Brakes (Rotors, Pads, Brake Lines)
- Performance Exhaust System
Suspension Upgrades
Upgrading your suspension can be one of the most significant improvements not only for the looks of a vehicle, but for the way it handles and feels when driving. There are many options when it comes to suspension upgrades. Here are a few of the more common choices:
- Performance Coilover System
- Lowering Springs
- Upgraded Shocks
- Lowering Links (for air-ride vehicles)
- Air Suspension

Google Reviews
“I had GPO create and install a custom Stage 3 upgrade for my 2013 S8. Corey and the rest of the GPO team involved did an amazing job and I can’t recommend them highly enough. My car is now substantially faster and more reliable thanks to GPO’s knowledge of my car and its engine. If you want an alternative to the dealership for service or a unique opportunity to get your German car tuned professionally, this is the place to go in the Nashville area.” – Matt Gordon
“Shawn and crew were wonderful to work with. I had quite a few things done being my first time and buying a used car, and I believed the price was reasonable and extremely happy with the service. More importantly though was the customer interaction. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and you could tell they car about their cars and their work. As a non-car guy it’s so important to trust your mechanic because I just have no knowledge and would have to go along with whatever they said, but you can tell immediately this group is trustworthy and want to do what’s right and best by you. They explained some options I had moving forward with tune ups and I will absolutely be back!” – Gabe King
“I had such a great experience. I have a 70’s Super Beetle that needed some work done. When I found out that Nick was an air cooled mechanic I knew I found the right shop. He did excellent work, took his time, and made my bug run so well. I will definitely recommend them! Their pricing is fair and shop is clean. I have nothing negative to say.” – Thejoeloy
