I guess the way the post reads, it can go either way.

The $1500 and 2 to 3 weeks is about right to have the ECU removed and shipped out to be unlocked.

The last paragraph, he states that the information from his tuner is quite different. So either you are correct and he was quoted something much cheaper because they think they can do a bench unlock at their shop or he's saying he was quoted something considerably higher which means the tuning shop wants more profit to ship out for ECU unlock.

So if he was quoted much less than 1500, you're correct they don't realize he is an LCI. If it's considerably more than $1500, it's to get his ECU shipped out unlocked and they just want more profit than what he's expecting.

Either way I apologize, you were just trying to help the OP.
