Why Texas customers mail in smart fortwo ecu / module clone

Texas has roughly 22.8 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & SUVs make up much of what Houston-area shops and owners mail us. Smart Fortwo ECU / Module Clone is a bench job most Houston shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Texas ship it to a specialist. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.

Texas FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Texas.

How long does shipping take from Texas to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Houston, TX reaches our Arlington workshop in about 1 business day. USPS Priority routes through the North Texas distribution network; 1 day from most of the state. We start work the same day your module arrives and typically ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

Do you accept smart fortwo ecu / module clone 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 smart fortwo ecu / module clone shop in Houston I should use instead?
Most Houston shops don't keep the bench equipment for smart fortwo ecu / module 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. Same-state — fastest possible round-trip.
Does Texas vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Texas ended its annual safety inspection for most non-commercial vehicles in 2025; emissions testing still applies in designated metro counties. Confirm current requirements with the Texas DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Texas and federal requirements.
Is Smart the same as a regular Mercedes for programming?
No. Smart is Mercedes-owned but uses its own electronic architecture — it does not use the big-Mercedes FBS drive-authorization system. That's why this is a dedicated Smart Fortwo service rather than being lumped in with our Mercedes ECU work.
How much is it and how does the mail-in work?
It is $250 flat. After a technician verifies your VIN and both ECU part labels, you ship the units to Auto Module Lab. We clone on the bench, test communication, and ship everything back with tracking — return speed your choice at checkout (Standard $24.95, UPS 2-Day $54.95, or UPS overnight $94.95).
