Do you accept mercedes w164/x164/w251 eis repair modules from Idaho?
Yes — we receive modules from Boise, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene and the rest of Idaho regularly. With about 1.9 million registered vehicles statewide, full-size pickups & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Idaho.
Is there a mercedes w164/x164/w251 eis repair shop in Boise I should use instead?
Most Boise shops don't keep the bench equipment for mercedes w164/x164/w251 eis repair — 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-country northwest — about 3 days each way.
Does Idaho vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Idaho requires emissions testing only in the Treasure Valley (Ada and Canyon counties); the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Idaho and federal requirements.
What if my EIS is from a different chassis (W204, W211, W221)?
Those use different EIS architectures. See our Mercedes EIS Cloning (Pre-2014) service for W204/W211/W212/W221, or text us with your specific year/model.
Why is the repair more expensive than the cloning?
Component-level repair takes longer bench time (diagnose the specific failure, replace failed parts, full test cycle). Cloning is a faster data-copy workflow. For DAS3 W164/X164/W251 specifically, repair is usually the better value because finding a known-good donor for these chassis is expensive ($300-500 used).
