Programming services and labor rates

We list a service only after our team has completed it on real vehicles and modules. If you don't see your make or module, ask. We'll tell you plainly whether we can do it.

Prices are labor only. OEM software, security access, adapters and parts are quoted separately and approved by you before work starts. Programming can't succeed on every module. Your written authorization explains what happens if a module can't be programmed.

Turnaround targets

Shops shouldn't have to wait days on a dealer. These are the targets we work to. We confirm the timeline for each job after the compatibility review.

Vehicle programming
Target: completed during the scheduled appointment
Bench communication testing
Target: same or next business day after the module arrives
Standard cloning
Target: next business day, once both modules arrive and can be read

    We check that the module and procedure fit your vehicle before anything is booked.

  3. Written authorization

    The exact procedure, software costs and what happens if it fails. You approve it before we start.

    Bring it to Hillsborough at your time slot, or ship the modules to us.

    You get the vehicle or modules back, with a written record of what was done.
