What a failed module really costs.
One failed module can take a car off the road for weeks.
- 01
The dealer wants the whole car.
Tow it in, wait in their queue, and pay dealer rates for a part they replace and code.
- 02
A replacement module won't just plug in.
Used and new modules have to be matched to the car's VIN, keys and immobilizer, or the car won't start.
- 03
Every day it sits costs you.
A blocked bay or an empty driveway, a vehicle out of service, someone waiting on updates, and work that drifts to the dealer for good.
We fix that bottleneck so the job and the customer stay with you.
Five reasons people send us the module instead of the car.
Business days, typical bench job
Keep the job. Keep the customer. Keep the margin.
- 01
Faster cycle time.
Most bench jobs are back in {{CONFIRM: 1–3 business days}}. Remote sessions can often start the same day.
- 02
Lower cost than the dealer.
We repair or clone the original module instead of selling you a new one plus dealer coding.
- 03
Clear, flat pricing.
You get a firm quote before we touch anything, so you know the cost before you commit, and can quote your own customer with confidence.
- 04
Liability-safe work.
We back up the original data before any write, verify every job, and send you before-and-after documentation.
- 05
Specialist depth.
Modules are all we do, on dedicated bench equipment built for European vehicles.
Three ways in. Same bench, same standards, same firm quote.
Built for everyone who keeps a European car on the road.
