Logan is awesome, both times I have used him he has been professional and very knowledgeable. He came to my house the first time when my wheel hub assembly blew up and the 2nd time I had a voice I couldn't figure out. I had to sleep during the day since I was on night shift, so he drove me back home to sleep and I woke up to a message the noise was fixed. Logan is my go to mechanic in the Magic Valley area. On top of his amazing work ability, it's feels good to support a local shop, and not a big dealership who is just after money

FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is OEM programming, and why do I need it?
A: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) programming updates your vehicle’s software to the latest factory standards. It’s required when installing a new ECU, TCM, BCM, or security module and is essential for resolving software-related performance issues.
Q: How do I know if my vehicle needs module programming?
A: Your car may need programming if:
- A new control module has been installed (ECU, PCM, TCM, BCM, ABS, etc.).
- Your vehicle has software-related issues, such as rough shifting, loss of power, or incorrect sensor readings.
- You’re experiencing security system malfunctions, such as key fob programming errors or immobilizer problems.
Q: Can you program all vehicle makes and models?
A: We support most domestic and foreign brands, including Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, and more. Contact us to verify your specific vehicle’s compatibility.
