Is there a gm vats delete (1986-2005) shop in Kansas City I should use instead?
Most Kansas City 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. Regional north — 1-2 days each way.
Does Missouri vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Missouri requires a safety inspection for many vehicles and emissions testing in the St. Louis metro area. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Missouri 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.
