Why Texas customers mail in advanced ecu / module recovery

Texas has roughly 22.8 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & SUVs make up much of what Houston-area shops and owners mail us. Advanced ECU / Module Recovery is a bench job most Houston shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Texas ship it to a specialist. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.

Is there a advanced ecu / module recovery shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston 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. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.
Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas ended its annual safety inspection for most non-commercial vehicles in 2025; emissions testing still applies in designated metro counties. Confirm current requirements with the Texas DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas 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.
