The National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) is a group made up of car makers and independent repair companies. It helps mechanics, techs, and locksmiths get the right credentials to work on cars that need security access.
Which Account Do You Need?
Before signing up, choose the account that fits your work:
1. AIR Account (Assisted Immobilizer Reprogramming)
- For repair techs who need help from a NASTF provider to reprogram parts like ECM, BCM, or PATS.
- No signup cost.
- The first 5 jobs each year cost $45. After that, it's free.
2. VSP Account (Vehicle Security Professional)
- Needed to program keys, get codes, or order parts linked to vehicle theft protection.
- Requires an application with documents.
- Costs $435 for 2 years.
- Once approved, you’ll get a VSP ID to access secure car info from automakers.
Types of VSP Accounts
