remote car starters
« on: December 09, 2008, 09:08:16 AM »
hey guys, so i know its not for a jeep, but i'm looking to get one for my sister for christmas, she has a 06 Pontiac Pursuit, and of course its a standard.  I'm just looking on ideas as to where i can get a semi decent starter, and more importantly have it installed correctly, hopefully without breaking the bank

thanks a bunch
John

AutoTemp, just west of Blackfoot, on 42nd Ave South (south side of 42nd). Pretty decent pricing too, if Quinn doesn't work out for ya.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

Also look at Audio Concepts.

Quinn has a really, really bad reputation around town with car enthusiasts.....

I've had starters installed at A&B Sound... was happy with the price and the work done.

I have one installed new on my 05 TJ (manual) which has literally never been used once. The dealer had VIBE in Red Deer do the work. They're a client of ours and do good work.

If a removal from the Jeep and install on your sister's car could be swung at Vibe, I'd sell it to you cheap. It's dumb sitting there never being used.
I'd rather be dragging a club than clubbing in drag

     My last starter was installed by Visions in my '07 Savana. It went back five times before it worked properly. That annoyed me, but the fact they made me a priority until I was happy means I'd use them again.

I worked for a&b Sound for years, to bad they are gone... :(   I would go with Visions, I know a few ppl from a&b that work there now and the lifetime install is key.  I'd stay away from Future Shop and Best Buy, I worked for them as well.   Some of their installers are good, but I personally would rather support a Canadian owned company.  I think Audio Concepts is a good choise too, I used to work with the manager, quality products and installation.

I had mine done in my work van (alarm/starter combo) for $500 installed. worked great, never had an issue. I'll use them again.
