Default Help!!!

In need of help guys.....

So I got my mail order tune from ECS and made a huge rookie error. I did not realize that I needed to remove my front passenger wheel in order to access the PCM. I'm currently at college in San Antonio, Texas and about 5 hours away from my jack which is at my home in Dallas. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations on places to go in the San Antonio area that would offer a fair/small fee to simply swap my PCM's and fix the "case learn" issue caused by installing a new PCM into my vette. Thank you in advance for your help!

Why don't you just go to a service station and offer them $20 to use their lift?

Most will say no for liability reasons. I worked at one in High School and for a year or so after. It was not permitted under company policy.

Just go to your local parts house and I bet you can get a cheap jack for 20 bucks or so, Also why would you have to do a case learn?
When I installed my pcm I didn't have to, It was plug and play and I do mean play...lol.
I used a pcm from eBay I bought and had it programed and still have my stock one.

ECS said since I'm installing a new PCM rather than updating my stock that I have to have a tuner do a "case learn" on it... since I have to do this I was going to try to get the swap and all done at once. I was hoping someone knew someone in the area who could hook me up for cheap

You could also call they guys at Lethal Performance. I was over there a few weeks ago and they seemed like they're good folks. I'd bet that they'd be willing to help.
