Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics
$190
We hear “my mechanic said it’s a bad ECU” or “it just needs to be reflashed” almost daily.
Maybe it does — but probably not. Trying to fix a module issue with a reflash is like trying to fix a cracked phone screen with a software update.
We do not mean to pick on anyone, but misdiagnosis is very common. We see it often after mobile mechanic visits, expensive repairs like engine or transmission replacements that do not perform correctly, and parts-store code scans from places like AutoZone, Pep Boys, or Advance Auto Parts.
If you have a check engine light, drivability issue, or module problem, let us perform a real diagnostic first. Our diagnostic service includes a professionally written report, an emailed copy of the scanner diagnostic codes, our analysis of what the problem is, why we believe that is the problem, and recommended next steps.
Modules rarely just “go bad.” When they do fail, there is usually a reason behind it. Common causes include a weak battery, repeated jump-starts, a failing alternator, ignored check engine lights, failed coils, bad sensors, faulty actuators, or wiring harness damage that has been left unresolved for weeks or months.
Before replacing or reflashing a module, we want to identify any other problem so you do not waste money replacing parts that may not fix the vehicle.
Written report included
PCM Tuners is not a general mechanic shop. We do not perform repairs or turn wrenches, other than basic module removal when needed. If repairs are recommended, they must be completed by you or your mechanic.

Look, most people we meet are easy to work with, and we are too. This is for the people who are not.
If we arrive on site, you owe us money. It is that simple. If you do not think that is fair, call someone else. We are not the right company for you.
The minimum charge is $200 no matter the outcome.

Go away. Yes, seriously.
We do not come to your job and watch you work. Our services are expensive, so we aim to be efficient with our time. This work is technical and can be tedious, and distractions make it harder.
We will greet you kindly, ask for the keys, and may ask some diagnostic questions or clarify the scope of work. Then we will politely and clearly tell you the clock is starting. We are charging you by the hour. If you want to pay us $150 an hour to chat, we are okay with that. We do not work for free.

Used parts carry risk, and the customer assumes that risk.
Sometimes the donor module is bad. Sometimes the replacement module is the wrong part number. Sometimes the vehicle was misdiagnosed and the service does not fix the issue. We will still charge for our services under this scenario.
A used module can save $1,000 or more compared to a new module programmed by the dealer, and most used modules are fine. We think the risk is usually worth it, but it is still a risk.
If you have any question about whether you have the right part or how to verify the right part, call us and ask before scheduling service. We do not work for free.

Diagnostics are available.
Do not expect us to connect expensive subscription-based scan tools, analyze and give you the results, and share our knowledge and experience for free. The big box parts retailers will scan the vehicle and tell you the codes for free. You get what you pay for.
We offer advanced diagnostics for $190 and provide a written report with trouble codes, analysis, and recommended repairs.
If you ask diagnostic-type questions, we will clarify that you are asking for us to perform an advanced diagnostic and ask you to approve the charge, $190, for this service. We do not work for free.

Callbacks / warranty.
It is rare, but it happens. A typical example would be a DTC delete that triggers a P0000 general error shortly after a test drive.
Do not expect callbacks to be free. We are happy to return and perform more service or tuning, but there will be a charge.
If a service we performed does not have the expected result, we may return and make it right or offer a refund. This is a very narrow scope and completely at our discretion. We do not work for free.

Custom tuning may need multiple sessions.
If you have an engine swap, cam upgrade, transmission swap, or some other type of major modification, do not expect we can finish your tune in one session.
Sometimes we can, sometimes you need to fix some things and then we come back for more tuning.
It is your responsibility to have your vehicle ready for tuning. If you have questions, call and ask before you book an appointment. We will tell you common problems we see on engine swaps. Each session will be charged independently. We do not work for free.

Vehicle network must be intact.
The OBD port must be available and working. We are not responsible for communication faults, faulty wiring, or other physical issues. If your scan tool cannot read it, ours probably cannot either. We can perform a diagnostic for you. We do not work for free.
Battery health is key.
Your vehicle must have a healthy, charged battery. We will charge the minimum fee and refuse service for weak, dead, or bad batteries. We do not work for free.
Emissions readiness.
Yes, you can pass emissions with a tuned vehicle. However, we do not guarantee that your vehicle will pass emissions. All vehicles that require an emissions inspection in the metro Atlanta area will require an OBD2 drive cycle so the ECM can verify all systems are functioning. You can try the generic “drive it 50 miles” method, or for better results, ask Google or ChatGPT for the OBD2 drive cycle on your specific vehicle. Include the year, make, model, and engine.
Payment
All mobile services quoted here are cash prices. If you are a shop, we will accept a check. Zelle, payment apps, and cards are accepted, but additional charges apply. Contact us for pricing if you plan to pay other than cash.
Pricing shown is a general mobile service menu and may vary depending on vehicle, ECU type, software support, tuning credits, unlock requirements, travel distance, part condition, and job complexity.
