Did you know that you can start your car
from your phone?
Start your car with your phone so your car is the perfect temperature.
If your car includes a security system installed at the factory, you may be able to add features like remote start to the factory alarm system. Many new security systems are designed to integrate with the factory alarm system to provide additional sensors for enhanced security and additional convenience features, too.
In addition to enhanced security, alarm systems offer several useful convenience features. Remote door and trunk unlocking are common convenience features. When the car is started remotely, the security system is still active, so even though the car is running, security isn’t compromised. These features can be activated using a remote control or even a smartphone app.
We can recommend the right system for you.
Heating & Cooling: No more uncomfortable temperatures
Window Defrosting: Abandon your ice scrapers
Heated Seats: Toasty warm seat ready when you are
2-way Paging: Be notified of your car's engine status
Keyless Entry: Unlock your doors and trunk remotely
Vehicle Security: Protect your investment from theft and vandals
Each year, we install hundreds of remote start systems.
Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions
Q. Will a Remote Start System void my new car warranty?
A. NO. We install remote start systems for many of the area car dealerships. When properly installed, today’s remote start systems are fully compatible with the complex electronic systems in newer vehicles. Federal Law prevents an auto manufacturer from voiding a new car warranty because you chose to have non-factory accessories installed. For more info, Google Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.
Q. How long will it take?
A. Installation time varies greatly from vehicle to vehicle. We normally allow 5 hours per vehicle. Please make arrangements to leave your vehicle with us for an entire day.
Q. My car is a stick shift. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have remote starts designed to work safely on stick shifts. There is an additional charge for stick shift vehicles.
Q. I have a diesel engine. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have remote starts designed for diesels. When you activate your remote start, it will wait for the glow plugs or manifold heaters to turn off before it attempts to start.
Q. My key has a chip in it. Can you install a Remote Start?
A. YES! We have the proper bypass module for almost all vehicles. These bypass modules are only activated when you remote start your vehicle. So, when you vehicle is sitting in a parking lot, the factory anti-theft system is still fully functional. Caution .. Many shops will bypass the factory anti-theft system all together to save a little work! Some of the interface modules require two keys for programming, mostly Fords.
Q. My vehicle has a push-button start (Smart Key). Can you install a remote start?
A. YES! For most Smart-Key / push-button start vehicles, we are able to install a remote start. There is an additional charge for these vehicles.
Q. How long will my vehicle stay running?
A. The run time is programmable. Please speak to your salesperson for more details.
Q. Can somebody take my car while it is remote started?
A. NO. If your car is locked, it will remain locked. The steering wheel and shifter (automatic trans) will also stay locked. Most importantly, you must insert your key in the ignition before you can drive away. If anyone attempts to drive away without the key in the ignition, the engine will shut off as soon as you put your foot on the brake pedal.
Q. How much will I save if I install it myself?
A. Because of the complex nature of Remote Start Systems, we do not offer them for sale without installation.
