BCM Repair and Cloning

UK WIDE MAIL IN | THE NORTH WEST, MANCHESTER & LANCASHIRE

We cover the full range of body control module work, from first diagnosis through to writing data onto a replacement unit. A faulty body control module doesn't have to mean a main dealer bill. We read, repair, clone and program BCMs on cars and vans, and most jobs leave the bench inside 24 hours. Post your module in from anywhere in the UK, or book a mobile visit if you're in the North West. When we clone a module across, your existing keys carry on working exactly as they did.

BCM Repair, Cloning and Programming Experts

We repair the electrical faults that trace back to a failing body control module, on cars and vans of any make. The giveaway is usually the pattern rather than any single symptom. One thing stops working, then something unrelated joins it, and neither seems connected to the other.

BCM Repair

We repair modules at component level. Water ingress, burnt tracks, blown components and shorted circuits are all fixable on the bench, and repairing the original unit keeps the vehicle's own data intact

BCM Cloning

We read the data off your old module and write it onto a replacement. This is what stops a second-hand or new unit behaving like a stranger to your car, and it's the part most general garages can't do

BCM Programming and Coding

We program and code modules to the vehicle, including VIN programming where the replacement needs to carry the original identity

Bench and Boot Mode Programming

We work on modules directly rather than only through the OBD port. That's what lets us reach units that have stopped talking to the car altogether, including ones that are completely dead.

On Peugeot and Citroën vehicles the equivalent unit is the BSI, and we read, repair and clone those too

BCM Diagnostics

We confirm the module is actually the problem before anyone spends money on it. That means checking the wiring, the earth points and the connectors alongside the fault codes, because lost communication with a BCM can just as easily be a broken wire. We do the same thing on engine electronics, so if you're weighing up ECU repair and cloning in Manchester we can look at both

Body Control Module Faults We Repair

Now the honest bit. If you've got one fault on its own, it's more likely a bad earth, a chafed wire, or the component itself giving up. A module that's genuinely failing rarely announces itself quietly. We'd rather rule out the cheap causes first, and that's how we start every job.

Here's what customers bring us most often:

  • Heater blowers that keep running and won't switch off
  • Lights flickering, dimming, or failing on one side only
  • Central locking working one day and ignoring you the next
  • A battery that's flat every morning even though it tests fine
  • A vehicle that cranks but won't start
  • Several dashboard warning lights arriving at once
  • Electric windows stopping halfway through their travel

BCM Repair or Replacement: Which Do You Need?

Most faulty body control modules can be repaired, though repairing isn't always the sensible call.


Repair work runs at an hourly rate while we test components and swap the failed ones, so on a badly damaged unit the labour can climb past what a replacement plus cloning would cost.



We tell you which way it's going before we commit either of us.

Repair Replacement
The fault is isolated to one or two components The board is badly water damaged or heavily corroded
The board is intact and the tracks are sound Multiple circuits have burnt out
The original data is fully readable Testing time would outrun the cost of a replacement
You want the vehicle's own module kept You already have a replacement unit with you

Remove the module and post it to us with your reference

We test, repair or clone it, usually within 24 hours of arrival

We post it back ready to refit

You can mail-in your module for BCM repair since we only ever need the module itself rather than the whole vehicle.

Why BRS Remapping for BCM Repairs?

BRS remapping manchester 5 start review

Our kit is the reason we can take on modules other garages turn away. We work on the bench and in boot mode rather than only through the diagnostic port. In plain terms: when a module has stopped talking to the car, we can still get the data off it.


Here is what you get with us:

  • 24 hours turnaround
  • Replacement modules we supply carry a 3 month guarantee
  • Our existing keys are unaffected by cloning, and we can recover data from modules that are completely dead
  • Mobile across the North West or UK-wide Postal Service


Common Questions About BCM Repairs

  • How Much Does BCM Repair Cost in the UK?

    BCM repair in the UK typically runs between £150 and £300, against £300 to £900 for a replacement unit on more complicated vehicles. Main dealer replacement and coding can pass £1,000 on some cars, which is the number most people are trying to avoid when they call us.


    What moves the price on your job:


    • Whether the module can be repaired or needs replacing and cloning
    • Whether we source the replacement unit or you bring your own
    • How much testing time the fault needs before we find it
    • Whether the module is posted in or we come to you

    Posting the module in works out cheapest, since there's no travel in the price. We keep our rates competitive and we quote per job rather than reading off a list.


  • Do you need the whole vehicle, or just the module?

    Just the module. You can remove it yourself or have any local garage take it out, then post it to us or drop it in. That's what makes the postal option work for customers anywhere in the UK. If removal is awkward, we'll come to you across the North West instead.



  • Do you need the whole vehicle, or just the module?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Is your BCM repair work guaranteed?

    Replacement modules we supply come with a 3 month guarantee. Modules you've sourced yourself aren't covered, since we can't verify their history or condition before they arrive. We'll still fit and clone them, and we'll tell you honestly if one looks like a bad buy before we start.


  • Can you clone a replacement BCM I have already sourced myself?

    Yes, and we can often do it on the spot if you bring the replacement with you. The one catch is the guarantee: units you've supplied aren't covered by ours. Bring the old module too, because that's where the data we need to transfer actually lives.


  • Can I repair a body control module myself?

    Realistically, no. A code reader will point you at the module, which is useful, but repairing or cloning one needs bench and boot mode access plus the security data handled correctly. Get that wrong and a working module becomes scrap. The diagnosis you can start yourself. The rest needs the equipment.
