Why Idaho customers mail in tcm / transmission programming

Idaho has roughly 1.9 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & 4x4 SUVs make up much of what Boise-area shops and owners mail us. TCM / Transmission Programming is a bench job most Boise shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Idaho ship it to a specialist. Cross-country northwest — about 3 days each way.

Is there a tcm / transmission programming shop in Boise I should use instead?

Does Idaho vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Idaho requires emissions testing only in the Treasure Valley (Ada and Canyon counties); the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Idaho and federal requirements.
How much is it and how fast is the turnaround?

Is this a mail-in service?
Yes, for supported controllers. After we verify support by VIN and module label, you ship the TCM (and donor, if cloning) to Auto Module Lab. We program or clone it on the bench, test communication, and ship it back with tracking. If your controller isn't bench-readable, we'll tell you before you ship.
