Do you accept mercedes classic remote key (slk, sl, w140, g) 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 classic remote key (slk, sl, w140, g) shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston 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. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.
Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas requires an annual safety inspection program statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in 17 metro counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas and federal requirements.
I still have one working remote. What do I ship?
Just that key — nothing else. The new remote is built from your working one on the bench, your original comes back with it, and your car never gets taken apart. This is by far the easiest version of the job, which is exactly why we tell one-key owners not to wait for zero.
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.
