Is there a ford / lincoln bcm / sjb clone shop in Washington DC I should use instead?

Does District of Columbia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
The District of Columbia requires a biennial safety and emissions inspection for registered vehicles through the DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all District of Columbia and federal requirements.
How much is it and how does the mail-in work?
It is $250 flat, mail-in only. After a technician verifies your VIN and both module labels, you ship the original and the donor to Auto Module Lab in Arlington, TX. We clone the VIN, configuration and coding on the bench, test communication on a regulated supply, and ship both modules back with tracking — return speed is your choice at checkout: Standard $24.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95. Proof of ownership is required before any anti-theft-related work begins.
What is the SJB and how is it different from a BCM?
On most of this era of Ford they are the same box. The Smart Junction Box is the interior fuse panel and the body control module combined into one unit — it distributes power through the fuses and relays AND runs interior and exterior lighting, wipers, power locks, chimes, and cluster messaging. Ford has used both names across model years and service literature, which is why we list the service under both.
