Why Virginia customers mail in tcm / transmission programming

Virginia has roughly 7.4 million registered vehicles, and trucks, SUVs & imports make up much of what Virginia Beach-area shops and owners mail us. TCM / Transmission Programming is a bench job most Virginia Beach shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Virginia ship it to a specialist. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.

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