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

Do you accept mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) modules from Texas?
Yes — we receive modules from Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin and the rest of Texas regularly. With about 22.8 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Texas.
Is there a mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston shops don't keep the bench equipment for mercedes aam / das valet key (ml, slk, sl & more) — 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.
Is all-keys-lost extra?
No — $250 flat includes all keys lost. That is the normal situation for this service; owners with healthy keys rarely find us.
My ML cranks but will not start and the key is fine. Is this the right service?
Probably not — a known-good key with a no-start points at the AAM itself failing, which is our $299 AAM/DAS repair service. Text us the symptoms and VIN and we will point you at the right one before you order.
