Do you accept bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) modules from Alaska?

Is there a bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) shop in Anchorage I should use instead?
Most Anchorage shops don't keep the bench equipment for bmw elv / steering lock repair (mail-in) — 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. Far-flung — plan ~3-4 days each way, so roughly a 1.5-week round-trip.
Does Alaska vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Alaska has no statewide vehicle safety inspection and no active emissions testing program in most boroughs. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Alaska and federal requirements.
Will this fix a mechanically dead steering lock?
It fixes the electronic/data side - the counter and CAS ELV data. If the physical ELV motor is seized or burnt, that actuator may still need replacement; the reset stops it from locking you out again.
My battery was weak when this happened — is that related?
Very likely. Low voltage is the most common trigger. Replace/charge the battery first; we reset the counter so the warning clears and doesn't immediately return.
