Why Michigan customers mail in tcm / transmission programming

Michigan has roughly 8.1 million registered vehicles, and domestic trucks & SUVs make up much of what Detroit-area shops and owners mail us. TCM / Transmission Programming is a bench job most Detroit shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Michigan ship it to a specialist. Cross-region north — about 2-3 days each way.

How long does shipping take from Michigan to your Arlington TX workshop?

Do you accept tcm / transmission programming modules from Michigan?

Is there a tcm / transmission programming shop in Detroit I should use instead?
Most Detroit shops don't keep the bench equipment for tcm / transmission programming — 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 north — about 2-3 days each way.
Does Michigan vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Michigan has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Michigan and federal requirements.
How much is it and how fast is the turnaround?
It is $250 flat and a fast turnaround once your verified module arrives. You choose your return-shipping speed at checkout — Standard $14.95, UPS 2-Day $29.95, or UPS overnight $74.95. Remember to complete the shift-adaptation drive cycle at the car after install.
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.
