Safe and Reliable Remote Car Starters in Latrobe, PA
Do you want to remote start your vehicle from the comfort of your home? How about your place of work? Want to heat it up in the winter, cool it down in the summer? We provide multiple options to choose from, depending on your vehicle and it's equipment. If this sounds like fun, keep reading!
A Brief Overview
You have many choices when considering a remote starter for your vehicle, so thank you for considering us. New vehicles are not all built the same, so remote starter units are not either. Essentially, it all starts with either a low current remote start, or a high current remote start. (year/make/model vehicle decides this) From there, operation with your factory key FOB may be an option using your lock/unlock buttons to start your vehicle. If it's not, or you simply want more range than what your factory FOB provides, we have many different add-on options available. To get an exact idea of what we have available for you and your vehicle, please stop in, call the shop or send us an email. (It's definitely best to stop in so you can see your options in person!) Year, make, model, key start or push/smart key? Gas, diesel or hybrid? This is what we need to know to give you all your available options! Pictured are some of our add-on remote/antenna packages.
Start Your Car with Your Factory Key FOB
If this is an available option, you can use your factory key FOB to start your vehicle using your lock/unlock buttons. This solution will also give you the least amount of range as it relies on your existing remote and keyless entry system to work. You will be exchanging range for convenience. The distance of your existing FOB, will determine the distance your remote start will operate. We don't do 3x lock like most others, which can result in accidental starts; such as pressing your lock button multiple times to verify it's locked, hear the horn honk, etc. We instead do a simple lock/unlock/lock sequence to start your vehicle. No need for extra remotes, just the same OEM key FOB you carry now. These systems are $349.99 installed for most vehicles.
Aftermarket Key FOB & Smart Phone Control
These systems give you increased range over your factory FOB, but you will need to carry the remote in order to use the system. Base package is a 1-way system that includes (2) remotes and offers 1,500 to 3,000' range capability. These systems are $399.99 installed for most vehicles. Available in either single button, or multi-function remote. This depends on what's required, or your personal preference.
Next up is our 2-way systems. We offer an excellent product manufactured by Fortin. These offer 2-way communication, and you get a remote that offers LED feedback that your vehicle has started. Coming in at 3,000' of range, these systems are $449.99 installed for most vehicles. From there, we have our flagship piece manufactured by iDatastart. These also offer 2-way communication, but come with an LCD remote that not only is rechargeable, but offers an incredible 6,000' of range! These systems are $599.99 installed for most vehicles.
Need/want unlimited range? Do you like tech? How about being able to use your smartphone? Or smartwatch! These systems will also work with your factory key FOB if applicable with your vehicle. Start/stop, lock/unlock, run time countdown and vehicle location by GPS is what these systems offer. Once installed, you will be emailed a link to download the app. You can then start your vehicle from anywhere in the country where you have cellular service! Setup your account and done! Yearly service cost of these can vary, so please contact us for details.
Message from the Owner
We understand that you have many choices, and we appreciate your consideration of our services. When you purchase a remote start package from us, you’re not just paying for goods and services, but you’re also getting the knowledge and experience we’ve gained doing this for a LONG time now! We did our first remote start system around 1990! I've personally been here doing this since 1991!
You won’t find that anyplace else, and that’s something you just can’t put a price on.
Companies we Work with
The majority of the systems we install are manufactured by Fortin, iDatalink and Firstech, depending on the application. The telematics pieces are from My Car Controls. Feel free to check out some links!
Lifetime Warranty
Most remote start systems come with a limited lifetime warranty on the ECU, and 1-year on the remotes. The only thing you'll have to do is occasional battery replacement, as you do with your factory key fobs.
We’ve Got You Covered
From the limited range of your OEM remote to the unlimited range using your mobile device, we have you covered.
