How long does shipping take from Illinois to your Arlington TX workshop?

Do you accept ford / lincoln bcm / sjb clone modules from Illinois?
Yes — we receive modules from Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, Naperville and the rest of Illinois regularly. With about 10.5 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Illinois.
Is there a ford / lincoln bcm / sjb clone shop in Chicago I should use instead?
Most Chicago shops don't keep the bench equipment for ford / lincoln bcm / sjb clone — 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. Cross-region north — about 2 days each way.
Does Illinois vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Illinois requires emissions testing in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis areas; downstate counties are exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Illinois and federal requirements.
Will my keys still work after the clone?
On applications where a full PATS data transfer is supported, yes — your existing keys keep working with no extra steps. On some applications the module still needs an on-car PATS parameter reset or key relearn after installation, which a locksmith or a Ford dealer performs, and on several models there is a self-initialization procedure using two working keys. We tell you which case yours is before you ship, so there are no surprises in your driveway.
How is this different from your Ford BCM programmed-to-VIN service?
Opposite models, on purpose. This service is the clone path at $250: you send your original plus a donor and we transfer your data on the bench. Our Ford BCM programmed to your VIN service is supply-a-part at $349: you send nothing, we source the correct module and program it to your VIN before it ships. Cloning is cheaper and preserves your exact as-built data; supply-a-part is the answer when your original is destroyed or missing, or when you would rather not source a donor.
