Why Hawaii customers mail in advanced ecu / module recovery

Hawaii has roughly 1.1 million registered vehicles, and compact SUVs & imports make up much of what Honolulu-area shops and owners mail us. Advanced ECU / Module Recovery is a bench job most Honolulu shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Hawaii ship it to a specialist. Far-flung — plan 4-5 days each way, roughly a 2-week round-trip.

Hawaii FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Hawaii.

How long does shipping take from Hawaii to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Honolulu, HI reaches our Arlington workshop in about 4-5 business days. USPS Priority moves by air from the North Texas network; 4-5 days given the ocean distance. We start work the same day your module arrives and typically ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

The customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to Hawaii is selected at checkout — $24.95 standard (3-5 business days), $54.95 UPS 2-Day, or $94.95 UPS Next Day Air, flat nationwide.

Do you accept advanced ecu / module recovery modules from Hawaii?
Yes — we receive modules from Honolulu, Hilo, Kailua and the rest of Hawaii regularly. With about 1.1 million registered vehicles statewide, compact SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Hawaii.
Is there a advanced ecu / module recovery shop in Honolulu I should use instead?
Most Honolulu shops don't keep the bench equipment for advanced ecu / module recovery — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Far-flung — plan 4-5 days each way, roughly a 2-week round-trip.
Does Hawaii vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Hawaii requires an annual safety inspection for registered vehicles; there is no state emissions testing program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Hawaii and federal requirements.
How much is it and how does the mail-in work?
It is $350 flat when the data is recovered. After a technician reviews your VIN and module photos and confirms recovery is realistic, you ship the module (and a donor if one is planned) to Auto Module Lab in Arlington, TX. We evaluate, recover, and bench-test, then ship everything back with tracking — return speed your choice at checkout (Standard $24.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95).
What kind of modules can you recover?
Mostly engine ECUs across the common families — Bosch ME/MED/EDC, Continental/Siemens (SIM, SIMOS, PCR), Delphi, Denso, and Marelli — plus many body and transmission modules. If your unit is dead, burnt, water-damaged, overvolted, or won't communicate, it's a candidate. Send us your VIN and a photo of the module label and we'll tell you whether recovery is realistic before you ship anything.
