Is there a bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) shop in Charleston I should use instead?

Does South Carolina vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
South Carolina has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all South Carolina and federal requirements.
My battery was weak when this happened — is that related?
Very likely. Low voltage is the most common trigger. Replace/charge the battery first; we reset the counter so the warning clears and doesn't immediately return.
Is this cheaper than a dealer steering-column repair?
Substantially. Dealers often quote $700-$1,500+ to replace the steering lock/column assembly. Our bench counter reset and ELV data repair is a $250 flat rate.
