Is there a gm vats delete (1986-2005) shop in Louisville I should use instead?
Most Louisville shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm vats delete (1986-2005) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Kentucky vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Kentucky has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program for most passenger vehicles. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Kentucky and federal requirements.
Will my car still pass emissions / smog?
Yes. VATS is independent of the emissions system. The OBD-I or OBD-II readiness, fuel trims, and emissions codes operate identically to before — only the anti-theft authentication is bypassed.
Do I need to send the key?
No. After VATS delete, any physical key that mechanically turns the ignition will start the car. Existing keys still work; the ECM just stops checking the resistor value.
