What a joke, how can they still be getting business. Advertise 3-8 days for service and 100 satisfaction guaranteed. It's more like 3-8 weeks for service and no satisfaction guaranteed. DO NOT USE THEM, SCAMMERS ALL THE WAY!

First time I sent my ECU, it worked about 1 year, car fan came on like jet motor, was told 2 check fan even though if I tap Ecu it would stop! Brought 3 Mercedes Fans & NOTHING, Actually almost blew motor! Then it got worse, car would randomly cut off while running. "Terrance G" refused 2 sent return label had 2 go through website. Sent unit, they had it for 4 MONTHS! Endless phone calls emails etc, same nonsense. Get my unit back & its pretty much destroyed, they try to blame me lol. Who breaks a ECU to a Benz s550? Any how get unit back now my car won't crank or start or go into park. Called about issues & was told its on my end! My car ran before they touched unit and they got me buying and replacing things that have nothing to do with problem cause ECU is defective. When receiving unit last month my ECU tabs were broken and one leg was just missing! Sent back & they had for another 3 weeks and tell me its fine once again so they didn't fix anything, so why have unit for 3 weeks then? Get it back car started & cut off! I'm beyond pissed no emails was returned from to different "account managers". I've called this place about 30 times over 5 months. Terrance G NEVER ANSWERS and if he does, u better pray guys! No GOOD. Also when i plug my SNAPON to port it does read ECU, NO COMMUNICATION. Hell with these good reviews, they probably fake. I had a Dead Mercedes for over 5months because of these clowns. Lord knows the damage now... NO GOOD STAY AWAY IF U WANT TO DRIVE UR CAR AGAIN

After waiting three weeks I had to get my truck going. Found the part local for the same amount. When the part finally arrived I refused it and returned it. Only to cost me 85 dollars for one excuse after another. Each excuse buying time. No return business here

This company, FS1, inc., is possibly the worst internet company I have ever tried to do business with. They just can't tell the truth, I doubt they know it. The process starts with it will take 3 days to get it to programing. Next is the part was mis labeled and it will take a few days to get another then a week for programing. That was over a week ago when I asked for a refund. Next I got some BS forms to sign so they could issue my refund signed them, returned them, electronic refund not received.
I noticed that reviews on their website are all glowing unlike the ones I see here. This Company may be on the edge of fraud.
AGAIN THE WORST I HAVE EVER TRIED TO DEAL WITH

DONT BELIEVE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS THEY ARE FAKES!
I purchased an ECM from Flagship 1. I had it installed and it wasn't working. Their site says "may need additional programming from dealership". Okay, so I have my car towed to the local dealer service center who tells me the ECM i just purchased is bad, their equipment can't even communicate with the ECM to do anything and I need to send it back. Flagship1 tells me they will reprogram it again and so I send it in and wait. It comes back and this time I let the dealership install it and again nothing. They still are unable to communicate, nothing happens not even a check engine light. I may as well have hooked up a 2x4 or a rock, I try contacting them again and this time they were indignant, saying that they test them before they ship however I seriously doubt that since my blown ECM gave at least a check engine while theirs gave zilch. At this point I emailed saying I just want my money refunded, and that I would send them the part back and they never responded. $285.00 and I got nothing except essentially stolen from. They dont stand behind their products, they dont care if their parts dont work just about their money. They are intenionally defrauding their customers and i dont know why they are getting away with it. They are engaging in fraudulent misrepresentation of product, I will be contacting the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the Internet Crime Complaint Center, the BBB and who ever else I can to file a report against these criminals.

The ECU they sent me would even allow my car to run for more than 2 seconds. I sent it back but I was still out $85 because they won't refund the programming fee even though they send a defective unit. Stay away.
We want to extend our sincerest apologies concerning all the issues that you have faced. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don’t meet expectations. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We have an RMA process that assists customers for testing and helping resolve claimed faulty units. However, you have opted for a refund as you will just purchase from a dealership. As stated on the receipt and warranty that you received, that any returns for buyers remorse will be subjected to a $85 programming fee. Your refund was processed successfully.

Ordered 2 PCMs for different cars. Neither was programmed for the correct vehicle. We tried everything including a dealer to get them both to work. One was corrupt and not able to be used and the other was programmed for a 2013 not a 2016 as we had requested. They refuse to answer emails and lie that a RMA was issued so that AMEX will not reverse charge. The single most unethical dishonest company I have EVER dealt with. Run away fast. They will cheat you in every way possible

I bought an engine computer for a 2014 Chevy equinox. Could not install because the plugs were not in the wrong spot. I was told I could send it back for a refund. Did not get a refund but was sent the same product back (the plugs were still in the wrong spot). Tried sending it back for a second time for a refund and now they are saying I can't because it's been longer than 30 days. Very disappointed by this.
Hello. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are also doing things with respect to our policy. The policy states that all returns for money back must be received by the Seller within 30 days from the date of original purchase. This order was placed on the 27th of January and you have contacted us on July 25 that you want to be refunded. We have even considered your situation and agreed on the refund. We have sent a prepaid return label right after. Unfortunately, we have not received the 2nd unit we sent to you up to this date. At this point, you are only eligible for store credit once the unit has been returned. Please let us know for any questions. Have a great day!
Lost 400$. Purchased unit for manual speed, got automatic, can t drive my car anymore, no answer to change unit and solve issue, just another scam.

After 29 days of the order, I finally received the PCM, I installed it on the vehicle, and the check engine light never stopped flashing. The radio doesn't work, can't crank the vehicle or anything. Their support is the worst, as stated by other reviews, they always say your "Account Manager" will get in contact with you. They never do, I don't even believe there are account managers on this scammer website.
Please beware, I read the reviews after getting the ECU, should have researched more on the company.
They'll make you sign a document before sending you the unit, so they can be protected and never return your money!
All reviews on this website are real.
Update: 8 November 2021
Still no response from the company, RMA has been on reviewing state since October 23, I've filed a dispute on Paypal, and now have escalated the dispute to Paypal.

Answer: Scam company. They will take your money. You will be lucky to receive anything
Answer: They are the masters of "terminal hold" until you get frustrated and give up. I can't imagine how low you need to be to work for these scammers!
Answer: Their 2-7 shipping days is a total LIE. Their customer service are paid professional liars well. Will tell you anything to appease you true or not. I cancelled my order after 14 days and they couldn't tell me WHEN. Shop elsewhere, this company has huge problems.
Answer: Stay away! They charged my card and never sent my part!
