California FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from California.

How long does shipping take from California to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Los Angeles, CA reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2-3 business days. USPS Priority routes west through the Southwest network; usually 2-3 days given the distance. We start work the same day your module arrives and ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

Do you accept speedometer / tire & gear recalibration modules from California?
Yes — we receive modules from Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Sacramento and the rest of California regularly. With about 31 million registered vehicles statewide, European luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) are the bulk of what we see from California.
Is there a speedometer / tire & gear recalibration shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most Los Angeles shops don't keep the bench equipment for speedometer / tire & gear recalibration — 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 west — about 2-3 days each way.
Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
What information do you need to set it correctly?
Your new tire size and the size it replaced, and — if you re-geared — your new axle ratio and the original. We use those to rewrite the rolling-diameter and axle-ratio parameters so speed and distance calculate accurately.
Will this fix my transmission hunting after a re-gear?
Often, yes — when the ECM still thinks the vehicle has the old gears, speed-based shift points land in the wrong place and the transmission can hunt. Correcting the axle ratio in the calibration fixes the shift-point math. It does not repair mechanical transmission wear or torque-converter faults.
