North Carolina FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from North Carolina.

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. UPS Ground is similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back the next business day with return shipping included.
How much does it cost to ship from North Carolina?
USPS Priority Mail flat-rate from North Carolina to Arlington TX runs about $12. UPS Ground varies by package weight. Customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to North Carolina is included in the $250 service price.
Do you accept modules from North Carolina?
Yes — we ship to and from all 50 US states including North Carolina. Most of our customers are out-of-state shops, locksmiths, and DIY pros. Our Arlington TX workshop receives modules from Charlotte and the rest of North Carolina every week.
Is there a saab cim module key programming shop in Charlotte I should use instead?
Most local Charlotte shops don’t offer saab cim module key programming as a bench service — they’d send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Charlotte: typically 5-7 days.
Do I have to remove the CIM myself?
Yes. The CIM is bolted to the steering column. With the steering wheel lowered and the column trim off, it comes out with three screws and one connector. Most owners can do it in 30 minutes — call us if you need a walkthrough.
What if Saab is out of business?
Saab keys are still produced. We carry blanks for all CIM-era models and have access to the original transponder chips.
Can you program a second key without removing the CIM?
Unfortunately no. The CIM has a security counter that requires bench programming for any key addition, even spares.
