This is a potential opportunity for you to build a decent business with pretty dedicated customers. (No involvement on my part.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The auto industry has a problem on its hands. Many older boards are very hard to find and often damaged. Some more recent ones require “VIN Matching” and other 2 way verification processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are guys like me that run service trucks and have clients with very specific needs that from a repair standpoint are usually not very complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large trucks and machines have processers that need to often be replaced with refurbished units for prices reaching into the 10’s of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look into it. There is a huge gap in the supply of refurbished auto\/hd\/machine ECU\/ECM\/ controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example (for your research purposes) Chevy\/GMC use something called a BCM. The body control module can die if a vehicle battery is left to die, gets boosted or the circuit experiences a short\/out of range condition.

It is $900 Cdn to replace new if they can find one. It is virtually undiagnosable beyond symptoms as mentioned above. I get about 1 of these calls a month as a one man operation with minimal advertising.

Look into it. The market is there.
