Is there a mercedes classic remote key (slk, sl, w140, g) shop in Seattle I should use instead?

Does Washington vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Washington discontinued its emissions testing program in 2020 and has no statewide periodic safety inspection. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Washington and federal requirements.
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.
My car is a 2002 SLK 230 — which service do I order?
This one, if you want the full remote key ($375). The valet key ($250) if you only need starting and locks. The R170 runs 1996-2004 and both services cover all of it.
