Automotive Computer Repair FAQ

You remove the module from your vehicle, package it securely, and ship it to us via any carrier. We diagnose the root cause, perform component-level repairs, reprogram the module to your VIN, and ship it back — typically within 48–72 business hours. Free return shipping is included on every repair. See our full How It Works page for step-by-step details.

Yes — contact us first. We’ll confirm your module is repairable, give you a price range, and send you the shipping address. This ensures we can match your module to your order when it arrives and have your job prepped immediately upon receipt.

All major makes and models — Ford, Chevy/GM, Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai/Kia, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi/VW, and more. If you’re unsure about your specific vehicle, contact us with the year, make, model, and module part number.

ECU / PCM / ECM (engine control unit), TCU / TCM (transmission control module), BCM (body control module), immobilizer modules, ADAS safety modules, and key transponder / smart fob programming. See our full services list for details and pricing.

Fault codes in the P06xx range that point to the ECU module itself — not downstream sensors — are the clearest sign. U-code communication errors referencing the ECU, no-start conditions where all sensors test fine, and issues that persist after replacing suspected sensors are all strong indicators. A scan tool pointing specifically to the ECU module (not peripheral components) is your best diagnostic starting point.

Remove the module from your vehicle, wrap it in anti-static bubble wrap, place it in a rigid box with at least 2 inches of padding on all sides, and include a note with your name, contact info, vehicle details, and fault description. Ship via UPS, FedEx, or USPS with tracking. See our full Shipping Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Most repairs are completed in 48–72 business hours from the time we receive your module. Rush 24-hour service is available for an additional $75–$100. We ship your module back the same day the repair is completed.

Plan for 5–8 business days total — 1–3 days inbound shipping, 48–72 hours for repair, and 1–3 days return Ground shipping depending on your location. Rush service and expedited return shipping can shorten this significantly.

Any carrier works — UPS, FedEx, and USPS are all fine. Use whatever is most convenient. The only requirement is a tracking number so both you and we can monitor the shipment. We recommend adding carrier insurance for modules valued over $100.

We invoice you after diagnosis, once we’ve confirmed the issue and the repair cost. You pay before we return the module. We accept all major credit cards.

Yes. We program every module to your specific VIN and factory calibration before shipping it back. On most vehicles it installs without a dealer visit. Some vehicles may require a brief idle relearn or key relearn cycle — we include any vehicle-specific instructions with your return shipment.

In most cases, no. We handle VIN programming and calibration so you don’t need a dealer visit. Certain ADAS systems may require a physical sensor aim calibration after installation — we’ll advise you on your specific vehicle if this applies.
