Is there a ford pats delete (1996+) shop in Charlotte I should use instead?

Does North Carolina vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection statewide, with OBD-II emissions testing in a set of more populous counties. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all North Carolina and federal requirements.
Do I need to send any keys?
No. After PATS delete, any physical key that fits the ignition will start the car. Existing keys still work; the PCM just stops checking for the transponder.
Will the THEFT light still flash on the dashboard?
On most PCMs we can disable the light too. On some early EEC-V PCMs, the THEFT indicator is hardwired to the receiver — if your specific PCM has this, the light may stay on but the engine starts normally. We tell you upfront before shipping back if your PCM falls in this category.
