Is there a gm auto stop-start disable shop in Seattle I should use instead?

Does Washington vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Washington discontinued its emissions testing program in 2020 and has no statewide periodic safety inspection. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Washington and federal requirements.
Is this a mail-in service?
Yes. After we verify support by VIN and ECM label, you ship the ECM to Auto Module Lab. We program it on the bench, test communication, and ship it back with tracking. If your ECM is Global B or otherwise unsupported, we tell you before you ship.
Is the stop-start disable permanent?
Yes. On supported GM ECMs we disable auto stop-start at the calibration level, so the engine no longer shuts off at stops and you no longer have to press the disable button every drive. It stays disabled until the calibration is changed back.
