Is there a mercedes classic remote key (slk, sl, w140, g) shop in Sioux Falls I should use instead?
Most Sioux Falls shops don't keep the bench equipment for mercedes classic remote key (slk, sl, w140, g) — 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 2-3 days each way.
Does South Dakota vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
South Dakota has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all South Dakota and federal requirements.
All my keys are gone. What changes?
The job runs from the immobilizer module instead: ship the DAS/SKREEM unit (the AAM on a W163 ML) so we can read its memory, plus your driver's door lock so we can decode and cut the blade. Same $375 flat price — all-keys-lost does not cost extra here.
Will the remote buttons actually work? Aftermarket keys for these cars are hit-and-miss.
Yes — remote and transponder are both programmed and tested on the bench before anything ships back. The hit-and-miss reputation comes from clone fobs paired without the module data; working from your module or your original key is what makes it stick.
