Do you accept gm auto stop-start disable modules from Rhode Island?

Is there a gm auto stop-start disable shop in Providence I should use instead?
Most Providence shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm auto stop-start disable — 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-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Rhode Island vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Rhode Island requires a biennial combined safety and OBD-II emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Rhode Island and federal requirements.
Can you do this on my non-GM vehicle?
No. This bench service is GM-specific. Non-GM vehicles need an at-the-car OBD procedure or a plug-in stop-start memory module instead — this mail-in ECM service does not apply to them.
How do I know if my ECM can be done on the bench?
Send us your VIN and a photo of your ECM service-number label. We confirm whether your ECM is pre-Global B, unlocked, and bench-writable before you ship. Coverage is narrow, so this verification step is required — it's how we make sure you're not paying for an unsupported vehicle.
