The website was easy to navigate and I found the service I needed and was able to book the perfect time between work. The technician messaged me a day early letting me know that he would be in the area and gave me the option to get it taken care of early but unfortunately I was working. If I hadn't been that would have been amazing to get it done ahead of time. He was on time and very pleasant. Worked quickly and got my problem taken care of. It was such a better experience than sitting in a waiting room with strangers or having to take an Uber back and forth to avoid such situation. I'm already recommending them to my friends because of how easy it was. Why go to a shop to get your car fixed at the shop can just come to you?
This is my first mobile mechanic experience and I have to say Jose made it the best. He was early on the appointment he was very professional very knowledgeable and polite. If you need a mobile mechanic call lockncal and try to get Jose out he'll fix you right up. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about paying up front because I've never used this type of service before but the end result I am very pleased and will use this service again thank you Jose again if I need anything else I'll get you out to fix it.
Jose contacted me swiftly after I filled out the form on the website and discussed the part needed (clock spring) and the appointment time. I was able to get in within 2 days. He arrived early and got right to work and was done rather quickly. He communicated well the whole time. I’m very glad to be back on the road and know my airbag light is off and all my steering wheel buttons work again!
On time, reliable and incredible service. Very honest about our repair and showed us the code log. Highly recommend. Already shared his information with a family member who didn’t even know this kind of service exists. Now I can feel confident that our family’s vehicle is safe to drive again.
This is a great company to deal with ,my cruise control stopped working & they came out & gave a free diagnosis which gave a clear picture of what was exactly wrong ,highly recommended ,very professional & honest,thank you again !!!
I initially went to the dealership when the airbag light in my Nissan Rogue had come on. Upon diagnostic review, the dealership advised that it would cost around $4500 to correct the issues that they were seeing with the system. I decided to get a 2nd opinion and I called DFW Safety Restore. Jose was able to work me in next day. He was prompt and right on time for my appointment in coming out to my house to run a diagnostic on my car. The first scan showed a host of issues, the same issues the dealership reported and more. So many, that Jose suggested resetting the codes and rerunning the diagnostic to get a true picture of what was going on. He said if there are true issues with the system the diagnostic codes would reappear. The reset worked and the system went back to normal. I am so thankful for Jose, and DFW Safety Restore for saving me from unnecessary and very expensive work on my car. If you have airbag system issues with your vehicle, I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you give DFW Safety Restore a call first.

Why Every Replacement Module
Must Be Programmed
Modern vehicles are essentially networks of computers talking to each other. When you install a replacement module — even a brand new one from the dealership — it doesn't know which vehicle it belongs to. It has no VIN. It has no configuration. It cannot communicate with the other modules in the car until it is programmed. This is true whether the module is new OEM, remanufactured, or pulled from a junkyard. A used ECM from a 2021 Silverado installed in another 2021 Silverado will not work until it is reprogrammed to the second truck's specific VIN, configuration, and security system.
Dealerships can program modules — but they charge premium rates, require you to bring the vehicle in, and often have multi-day appointment wait times. LockNCal performs the same programming to the same OEM specifications, on-site at your vehicle, at a competitive independent price.
We Program Modules for Everyone!

Salvage & Rebuilt Title: Restoring a totaled vehicle? Replacement modules from donor vehicles need a VIN rewrite and full programming before the vehicle will operate correctly. We handle all module types.
