  • Q. My friend told me that a remote start is bad for your vehicle, is that true?
    A. No, remote starters are not bad for your vehicle, if anything, they are actually better for your vehicle because they allow the engine to get to a proper operating temperature before the vehicle is driven. Unfortunately there are too many stories that go something along the lines of ‘Well my uncle's friend who used to be a mechanic said he would try to install this unit I bought at(insert cheapo retailer here), but after he tried to install it the unit didn't work right, and on top of that he screwed up my car.”

    Big surprise. Mixing poor quality parts with sub-par installations is always a recipe for disaster. The remote starters that we install are designed with new vehicle's complex electrical systems in mind. We have years of experience installing remote starters along with advanced computer programs and wiring schematics that give us the detailed information we need to complete a reliable, trouble-free installation.

    *Some dealership personnel are telling customers that if they install certain products on their vehicle they will automatically void their warranty! That is totally false and against the law.

    US Code – Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312

    “Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Mass Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302).

    Service advisory that tell customers their warranty is automatically voided if they add a remote start are in violation of Federal Law. For best results, consider working with customer service-oriented dealership with proven history of working with customers.

    If federal warranty protection is denied, contact the FTC at (203) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov.

    You have the right to use high-quality aftermarket part and know that your new car warranty claims will be honored. In fact, your vehicle dealer may not reject a warranty claim simply because an aftermarket product is present. A warranty denial under such circumstances may be proper only if an aftermarket part caused the failure being claimed.*
