- We can come to you
- Most installs: 2 to 4 hours
- Factory wires stay intact on most cars
Three ways to start it
Installed prices include the system, the harness for your vehicle and labor. Your exact price depends on your vehicle; the planner shows it in about a minute.
Factory fob
Uses the key fob you already have
Press lock three times and the engine starts. No extra remote on your key ring. Range is about what your fob gets today.
Installed from $350
2-way long range
A remote that talks back
Starts from much farther away (up to about 3,000 ft on long-range models) and confirms on the remote that the car is running. Good for big parking lots and work sites.
Installed from $450
Phone app
Start it from anywhere with cell service
Start, lock and check your car from your phone. Needs an app plan from the app maker (about $5 to $12 a month), billed by them, not us.
Installed from $600
"From" prices are for a key-start automatic at our garage, with our 25% launch discount on labor. Push-button start adds about $100; a mobile visit adds a $40 trip fee. Some vehicles need hand wiring and cost more; we tell you before we start.
Plug-in when possible
About 3 in 4 vehicles take a plug-in harness for remote start, so we are not cutting into your factory wiring.
Tested before we leave
We test starting, shut-off with the brake, locks and your fob range with you before we call it done.
Your driveway or ours
Most remote starts fit a mobile visit. Bigger jobs happen at our garage by appointment.
