Common questions

What if my module can't be fixed?

You'll be told plainly what was found, and your module ships back to you. You never pay for a repair you didn't approve.

Why is there an evaluation fee?

Some modules take real bench time to find the fault. The fee covers that work, and it's credited toward your repair if you go ahead.

How do I pack it?

Put the module in an anti-static bag if you have one, wrap it well in bubble wrap, and use a sturdy box with no room to rattle. Detailed packing tips come with your shipping address.

How long does it take?

It depends on the module and what's wrong. Your quote includes the turnaround time, so you know before you approve anything.

Do you need proof that I own the vehicle?

Yes, for any key, immobilizer or security module. Upload your registration and ID with the order. Shops can upload their customer's registration and a work order.

I'm a repair shop. Can I send modules for my customers?

Yes, shops are welcome. Add your shop name on the order form.
