Vermont FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Vermont.

How long does shipping take from Vermont to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Burlington, VT reaches our Arlington workshop in about 3 business days. USPS Priority routes far northeast through the New England network; typically 3 days.

Do you accept mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone modules from Vermont?
Yes — we receive modules from Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier and the rest of Vermont regularly. With about 0.6 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Vermont.
Is there a mini r50/r52/r53 bcm clone shop in Burlington I should use instead?
Most Burlington 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-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does Vermont vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Vermont requires an annual safety and OBD-II emissions inspection statewide. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Vermont 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.
