For shops and dealers

Programming sublet for shops

We handle the programming your shop does not; you keep the customer and the ticket.

Quoted for your vehicle — answer in one business day

How it is done

  • We come to your bay or driveway.

  • Done over a remote link — the vehicle stays where it is.

What's included

  • The programming your shop does not do, at your bay, on your schedule.

What it doesn't cover

  • Parts we did not supply, and any fault outside the item we worked on.
  • Mechanical repair, wiring repair, or diagnosis of an unrelated problem.
  • Towing, rental or lost time.

Have this ready

  • The vehicle in your bay and the repair order.

How long

Route days keep the trip fee off the ticket. Ask about the schedule.

What it works on

Coverage runs per model year and per part number, not per brand. We confirm on the tool against your VIN before quoting — and we say so plainly when the answer is no.

Questions we get

Do you deal with my customer?
Only if you want us to. You keep the customer and the ticket.
Is there a security-access fee?
No. Some services add one per vehicle; we do not, and you do not need your own credentials to sublet the work.
Do you do used modules?
Yes — that is the work most remote services refuse.

Trade rates

  • Module programming, at your bay

    Per module, on a route-day stop. Manufacturer access fees for your VIN are passed through at cost.

    from $149

  • Remote programming — your device, our software

    You supply a J2534 device, a laptop, internet and a battery maintainer. No trip fee, no travel.

    from $149

  • Software update / calibration check

    Checking whether an update actually applies to the complaint, before you sell one.

    from $49

  • Used-module adaptation

    The work the large remote services will not take on several platforms.

    quoted

  • Keys — programming only, your fob

    You supply the fob. Proof of ownership is still required on every key job.

    from $119

  • Keys — with our universal fob

    Fob included, cut and programmed.

    from $159

  • All keys lost

    Plus the fob. Blade cutting is arranged separately through a local locksmith partner.

  • Full system scan and report

    Pre- and post-repair scans, written so you can hand them to your customer.

    from $129

Manufacturer access fees for your VIN are passed through at cost, not marked up.

No security-access surcharge

Some programming services add a per-vehicle fee for security work. We do not, and you do not need your own credentials to sublet it to us.

We program used and salvage modules

On platforms the large remote-programming services decline. Send the part number and we confirm before you buy it.

Success or no programming fee

If the factory file will not load, you do not pay for the attempt — provided the vehicle had stable power and anything aftermarket on the data bus was disconnected or disclosed first.

You keep the customer

We deal with you, not your customer, unless you ask otherwise. The ticket stays yours.

Success or no programming fee — the conditions

  • The module is installed and communicating with the vehicle when we begin.
  • A battery maintainer or stable supply is connected for the whole session.
  • Aftermarket devices on the data bus — radios, alarms, remote starters, trackers, tuners — are disconnected first, or disclosed and left connected at your direction.
  • The manufacturer software supports the operation on that vehicle.
