Nevada FAQ
Common questions from customers shipping from Nevada.
How long does shipping take from Nevada to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Las Vegas, NV reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2-3 business days. UPS Ground similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back next business day with return shipping included.

Is there a gm vats delete (1986-2005) shop in Las Vegas I should use instead?
Most local Las Vegas shops don't offer gm vats delete (1986-2005) 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 Las Vegas: typically 5-7 days.
Is this for VATS or Passlock?
VATS — the older resistor-pellet key system used 1986-2005. Passlock (1995+) is different and uses a magnetic Hall sensor in the column. For Passlock issues, see our GM Cluster Upgrade + Mileage Program service.
Will my car still pass emissions / smog?
Yes. VATS is independent of the emissions system. The OBD-I or OBD-II readiness, fuel trims, and emissions codes operate identically to before — only the anti-theft authentication is bypassed.
Do I need to send the key?
No. After VATS delete, any physical key that mechanically turns the ignition will start the car. Existing keys still work; the ECM just stops checking the resistor value.
