An Expert’s Note: Over my 20 years diagnosing and repairing vehicles, I’ve seen countless drivers waste time and money on incorrect or unprogrammed modules from junkyards or questionable online sellers. The problem is that a PCM isn’t just a part; it’s the central computer tailored to your car’s unique identity—its VIN. Without the correct programming, you can face new error codes, anti-theft system lockouts, or even damage to other components. Our VIN-matching service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the critical step that guarantees the repair is done right the first time.
