Method for fastest turnaround time for reflash

Besides moving to California where Hondata is located for all you wise a$$es. What method can almost guarentee the quickest turnaround time. And what is the quickest turnaround time that I can expect? IE how long should i expect to be without a car that is driveable?

From MA, it'll be 3 days. Overnight to Cali, one day for reflash, box, return ship. Receive on the afternoon of day 3.

Otherwise, if you have a chance to fly to Cali during the week, drop it off in person.

Even if you do same day air, you probably can't expect the reflash to be done until the next day so I don't think it would be worth the extra cost.

If you ship it out Wednesday, you should get it back Friday afternoon, so yeah.

I think that is the best time frame possible, 3 days down time.

Yep 3 days at the least. Although, you can ship it out late on a Wednesday. Come home from work early and take it out and ship just before the 5:00 pm cutoff (or whatever cutoff time is in your area). You should get it back by early Friday morning. Probably before 11:00 am. That was one of my reflash experiences anyway.

Most Hondata dealers seem to use FedEx.

Yes as long as you went through an Authorized Hondata Dealer that is correct.

I'm going to use clubrsx next month I think...

The shipping labels you get from the Hondata dealer should go directly to Hondata's facility in Torrance, CA.

when i had my reflash done, i sent it out wednesday at 930pm, got off work at 7pm and then removed everything and shipped it out, i called ups and asked which station is the latest pickup, and one downtown chicago was 1000pm..... and it was at my house friday by 1030am.... so technically 3 days downtime, but just one really long day if you wanna look at it that way.....
