Buying a spare computer

I'm thinking of buying a spare computer for my truck. Has anyone dealt with module mechanics?
They're the only company I see with decent reviews who have an "ae2a" computer in stock.
I had my computer out a few weeks back to replace capacitors and took pictures of it. It looks like the original computer to me.

I haven't but might check RockAuto, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. What are their prices? If they have more than 30 good reviews or so I'd take a chance. I don't know where you're located but when I was having trouble finding a computer for my 94 (took a week with lots of phone calls) and found these guys out of Colorado Spring, CO called https://theecuconnection.com/ and I'm happy. It took 2 weeks for it to get to me which which was my only complaint but supposedly they were moving to a bigger building at the time.

That's my 2 cents, hope this was useful.

I used module mechanics for a PSOM repair. No problems.

I didn't know they worked on these computers. It makes sense that they would, just don't recall seeing it as a listed service.

They're more expensive than Rock Auto but lately they're the only ones with my computer and good reviews.
