Weekly special: Compustar 9910 remote start installed — most cars $499. Call or text us with the year, make, and model.

Compustar is the Firstech path. DroneMobile starts, locks, unlocks, locates, and controls climate from your phone — no fob range limit. Drone XC adds a camera when the quote calls for it. Premium GPS when you need a pin on the map.

Albert is the Firstech technician. iDatalink flashes keep the factory immobilizer in the conversation so remote start does not fight the car. Long Beach harbor lots and Orange County apartments are why people want phone control, not a fob that dies at the end of the driveway. Dodge Chargers, Challengers, and Jeep Wranglers get Compustar anti-theft quoted for how those vehicles are targeted in Los Angeles.

Not a Viper clone

DroneMobile only talks to Compustar / Firstech hardware. If you already have a Viper brain, we quote Viper SmartStart or a clean Compustar path — not a mashup. Channel uploads show Viper SmartStart phone jobs; Compustar plus DroneMobile is the Firstech equivalent we install in the bay. No public prices.

Questions

From the shop

Viper or Compustar — which do I need?

We install both and pick by the car. Compustar is the usual choice on Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler, where a copied unlock can beat a siren, because the ignition kill stays on when you walk away. Viper is the usual choice on Ford, GMC, and fleet vehicles, with an ignition kill you turn on. Text Nick the year, make, and model and he will point you to the right one.

Why are Jeeps, Kias, and Hondas stolen so often?

Those cars show up on theft lists in Los Angeles, Long Beach, the South Bay, and Orange County because the attack is specific. A relay or a copied fob signal can start some of them without breaking a window. A siren does not stop that. An ignition kill, placed in the factory loom, does. Toyota, Kia, and Honda get the same conversation as Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler.

What is an ignition kill?

An ignition kill interrupts the starter so the car does not crank unless your remote is present. The siren still makes noise. The kill is the part that keeps the car in the spot. We hide the module so it is not sitting under the dash where someone can find it in seconds.

Can remote start work on push-to-start cars?

Yes, on most push-to-start cars. Many late models need a bypass module so the factory immobilizer stays happy, and we say that before we book the bay. Slots are 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Text Nick the year, make, and model to confirm your car.

Do you install on European cars?

Generally no, except older models. Most European cars need modules we do not stock, and we would rather say so before you drive over. Text Nick the year, make, and model if yours is an older car and he will tell you if the bay can take it.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes. A Payment Plan is available. Open the Payment Plan page to apply, or text Nick and he will send the link. Booking a slot does not take a deposit.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. Book a slot or text Nick. Same-day is possible if you arrive at 9:30 opening, Monday through Saturday. Sunday the shop is closed.

Can I drop my car off overnight?

Yes, Tuesday through Thursday. Drop your car at close, by 6 PM, and pick it up the next day. We photograph your car at check-in so you see its condition before we touch it. Text Nick to reserve an overnight spot.
