Posted my BMW airbag module on Monday and had it back Wednesday. Clear emails the whole way and the airbag light went straight out.

Local airbag reset for Manchester visits
This page is for customers who can get to our workshop. If you searched “local airbag reset” because you want to hand the module in and collect it later, you are in the right place. We work from Universal Square, Devonshire St N, Manchester M12 6JH.
If you searched “airbag reset near me” from elsewhere in the UK, use airbag reset near me instead. That page covers the nationwide postal service. Keeping these jobs separate helps you find the right instructions, and helps Google understand which page answers which query.
How Manchester drop-off works
- Find your module and order the reset online (or WhatsApp a label photo first).
- Call or WhatsApp to book a drop-off slot. Do not travel without confirmation.
- Bring the airbag ECU only, with your order number written down.
- We clear the crash data or fault, test the unit, and message you when it is ready.
- Collect free, or leave it for Royal Mail Tracked 24 or Tracked 48 return.
For most modules, if we receive it in the morning, we complete the crash data reset and send it back the same day. Morning drop-offs have the best chance of same-day dispatch if you are using return postage.
What to bring (and what to leave on the car)
Drop-off checklist
- Airbag module / ECU only
- Order number (screenshot or written note)
- Label photo on your phone
- Leave brackets and fittings on the vehicle unless we ask for them
Parking and site access at Universal Square can be busy. Book first so someone is ready to meet you at reception or the workshop entrance.
When drop-off is the right choice
- You or your garage are already in Greater Manchester
- You want to avoid outbound postage on a valuable ECU
- You prefer to hand the unit over and collect when called
- You need a same-day bench window and can drop early
Trade customers who send modules weekly usually still use post. Drop-off is there when a face-to-face handoff is simpler.

Airbag light stayed on after a minor shunt. Ordered the postal reset online, packed it up, and plugged it back in when it came home. Job done.

Motorhome airbag light on a Fiat Ducato. They knew the module straight away. Posted it Friday, back early the next week. Really helpful lot.
