Absolutely. We regularly work throughout Tarrant County and stay current on all local codes and requirements. Our technicians understand the specific needs of suburban homes, apartments, retail strips, office parks common in Saginaw.

What is module programming and when is it needed?

Module programming is writing software and vehicle-specific data (VIN, configuration) to automotive computer modules. It's needed when installing new modules, using salvage yard modules, after certain repairs, or to fix software-related problems. Modern vehicles have multiple computers that must be properly programmed to work correctly.

Can you program used modules from salvage yards?

Yes! Programming used modules is one of our specialties. Used modules must be reprogrammed with your vehicle's VIN and configuration data. This saves thousands compared to buying new modules, especially for expensive ECMs, TCMs, and BCMs. We can program most used modules successfully.

Why does my module need programming if it's the same part number?

Even identical part numbers need programming because each module must be configured for your specific VIN, transmission type, engine options, feature content (like remote start, navigation), and other vehicle-specific settings. Without proper programming, modules won't communicate correctly with other vehicle computers.

How much does module programming cost?

Module programming typically costs $150-$600 depending on the module type and complexity. This is significantly less than dealer pricing ($300-$1000+). The savings are even greater when using programmed salvage modules instead of buying new - saving $1000-$3000 in many cases.

Will programming erase my vehicle settings?

Some settings may reset during programming (radio presets, clock, seat positions). However, we preserve critical data like odometer mileage, VIN, and calibrations. After programming, you may need to reset personal preferences.
