Will This Fix My Problem?

Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.

Fixes:

  • Module that doesn't fit any of our flat-rate services
  • Unusual chassis or rare/exotic vehicle
  • Intermittent or hard-to-diagnose failure
  • Custom one-off requests (vintage cars, specialty equipment)
  • "I don't know what's wrong — can you take a look?"

Won't fix:

  • Modules with structural damage so severe no bench work is possible
  • Modules requiring proprietary OEM software we don't have

Frequently Asked

Still have a question? Text us — replies in minutes.

When should I use this vs your flat-rate services?
If your need fits one of our 21 flat-rate services (BMW EWS delete, Mercedes EIS, VW IMMO delete, TIPM repair, etc.), pick that — it's cheaper and faster. Use bench evaluation when your scenario is unusual, the module isn't on our service list, or you want a professional diagnosis before committing to a specific repair.
Is the $95 refundable if you can't fix it?
$40 of it is. The remaining $55 covers our bench diagnostic time. If the module IS repairable but you decide not to proceed, no refund — we did the work.
How fast is the evaluation?
24 hours from receipt. We diagnose same-day if it arrives by 11am Central, otherwise next business day.
What if the repair quote is too high?
Walk away — you only paid the $95 evaluation. We won't pressure you. Honest assessment of unfixable modules is a regular part of what we do.
Can I get a quote BEFORE shipping?
For text-quote-able scenarios yes — text us photos + symptoms at (817) 586-9634 and we'll do our best. But many failures can only be diagnosed properly on the bench. That's what this service is for.
