Rhode Island FAQ
Common questions from customers shipping from Rhode Island.
How long does shipping take from Rhode Island to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Providence, RI reaches our Arlington workshop in about 3 business days. UPS Ground similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back next business day with return shipping included.
How much does it cost to ship from Rhode Island?
USPS Priority Mail flat-rate from Rhode Island to Arlington TX runs about $13. Customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to Rhode Island is included in the $199 service price.
Do you accept modules from Rhode Island?
Yes — we ship to and from all 50 US states including Rhode Island. Our Arlington TX workshop receives modules from Providence and the rest of Rhode Island every week.
Is there a ford pats delete (1996+) shop in Providence I should use instead?
Most local Providence shops don't offer ford pats delete (1996+) as a bench service — they'd send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Providence: typically 5-7 days.
Will my Ford still pass emissions?
Yes. PATS delete is independent of the emissions system. All OBD-II monitors, readiness flags, and emissions codes operate identically to before — only the anti-theft authentication is bypassed.
Do I need to send any keys?
No. After PATS delete, any physical key that fits the ignition will start the car. Existing keys still work; the PCM just stops checking for the transponder.
Will the THEFT light still flash on the dashboard?
On most PCMs we can disable the light too. On some early EEC-V PCMs, the THEFT indicator is hardwired to the receiver — if your specific PCM has this, the light may stay on but the engine starts normally. We tell you upfront before shipping back if your PCM falls in this category.
