How long does shipping take from North Carolina to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Charlotte, NC reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2-3 business days. USPS Priority routes east through the Southeast network; usually 2-3 days.

Do you accept mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone modules from North Carolina?
Yes — we receive modules from Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham and the rest of North Carolina regularly. With about 8.4 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from North Carolina.
Is there a mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone shop in Charlotte I should use instead?
Most Charlotte shops don't keep the bench equipment for mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone — 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 southeast — about 2-3 days each way.
Does North Carolina vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in a set of more populous counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Carolina and federal requirements.
Do you supply the donor module?
No — you source the used donor from eBay, a breaker, or a parts recycler, and we verify compatibility before you commit. That keeps your cost down and keeps us honest about what will actually work. Send the listing photos and the part number alongside your original's label and we will confirm or reject the match at no charge.
Will my keys still work afterwards?
Yes. Cloning preserves the factory immobilizer relationship rather than altering it, so the keys that worked before continue to work after. This is not an immobilizer delete and it is not a security bypass. Because the work touches immobilizer data, proof of ownership — title, registration, or a bill of sale — is required before we begin.
