Why Rhode Island customers mail in tcm / transmission programming

Rhode Island has roughly 0.8 million registered vehicles, and European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) make up much of what Providence-area shops and owners mail us. TCM / Transmission Programming is a bench job most Providence shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Rhode Island ship it to a specialist. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.

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