Benefits include:
-
Pre-heat your vehicle on cold mornings

Cool down the interior in the heat

Start your car from inside your house or office

Added security features that keep your vehicle locked

Is It Safe for Your Vehicle?
Yes — when installed correctly. Professional remote start systems include safety safeguards so your vehicle won’t start in gear or without the proper key signal. They also keep your car locked while running, so you’re not sacrificing security for convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions
A remote starter allows you to start your vehicle's engine from a distance using a key fob or a smartphone app, so you can warm it up or cool it down before getting in. Modern remote start systems are designed with multiple safety features — the car will only run while in park, and pressing the brake pedal shuts it off immediately if no key is present. When professionally installed, remote starters are completely safe and do not void most manufacturer warranties as they meet NRTL safety standards.
Yes — we install remote starters on both traditional key-start and push-button start (keyless ignition) vehicles. Push-to-start cars require a bypass module that communicates with the vehicle's immobilizer system, which adds a bit of complexity to the install, but our team handles this regularly. We carry systems compatible with the vast majority of makes and models including Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Jeep, Ram, and more. Call us and we'll confirm compatibility for your specific vehicle.
A basic remote starter uses a dedicated key fob with a range of roughly 1,000 to 2,000 feet. Smartphone-controlled systems like Drone Mobile or Compustar Connect link to your phone via cellular data, giving you unlimited range from anywhere in the world. You can start your car from your office, check whether it's locked, or get alerts if someone tries to move it. Smartphone systems typically cost a bit more upfront and require a monthly subscription, but the convenience and security features make them a popular upgrade.
