District of Columbia FAQ
Common questions from customers shipping from District of Columbia.
How long does shipping take from District of Columbia to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Washington DC, DC 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.

Is there a mercedes eis cloning (pre-2014) shop in Washington DC I should use instead?
Most local Washington DC shops don't offer mercedes eis cloning (pre-2014) 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 Washington DC: typically 5-7 days.
Will my keys still work after cloning?
Yes — that's the whole point of cloning vs key replacement. The donor EIS is written with your original's data so all existing keys remain valid in the new unit.
Where do I get a donor EIS?
eBay, Car-Part.com, salvage yards. The donor must be the same part number as your original (often same chassis + same engine). Email us your part number before sourcing and we will confirm compatibility.
What if my original EIS is completely dead?
If we cannot read the original, we can't clone. In that case our EIS Key Replacement service ($150) is the right fit — we program a fresh key directly to a donor EIS without needing the original.
