Why Alabama customers mail in tcm / transmission programming

Alabama has roughly 5.3 million registered vehicles, and full-size pickups & SUVs make up much of what Birmingham-area shops and owners mail us. TCM / Transmission Programming is a bench job most Birmingham shops don't keep equipment for, so owners and trade shops across Alabama ship it to a specialist. Cross-region — roughly 2 days each way for a quick round-trip.

Is there a tcm / transmission programming shop in Birmingham I should use instead?

Alabama has no mandatory 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 Alabama and federal requirements.

Is this a mail-in service?
Yes, for supported controllers. After we verify support by VIN and module label, you ship the TCM (and donor, if cloning) to Auto Module Lab.
