How long does shipping take from Minnesota to your Arlington TX workshop?

Do you accept mercedes w164/x164/w251 eis repair modules from Minnesota?
Yes — we receive modules from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth and the rest of Minnesota regularly. With about 5.2 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks & 4x4 SUVs are the bulk of what we see from Minnesota.
Is there a mercedes w164/x164/w251 eis repair shop in Minneapolis I should use instead?
Most Minneapolis 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-region north — about 2-3 days each way.
Does Minnesota vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Minnesota has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Minnesota and federal requirements.
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).
How is this different from your EIS Cloning service?
Cloning copies your EIS data onto a donor unit (you keep using the donor; original is set aside). Repair fixes the failed components INSIDE your existing EIS so you keep the original. Repair is cheaper, no donor needed, and preserves the factory VIN binding.
