Remote Start

Remote Start

A warm car in winter, a cool one in August — without leaving a hole in your security.

Compustar in our Carson bay. Payment Plan at the counter.

Remote start is not a plug-in. Your car has an immobilizer built specifically to stop it starting without the key, and getting around that the wrong way leaves a security hole where your protection used to be.

We install the vehicle-specific bypass module the manufacturer intends, program it to your car, and wire every safety lockout — brake shutdown, hood-open, in-gear. Then we run cold and warm start cycles before you get the keys. You get the convenience and you still have an immobilizer.

Big engines, trucks and diesels are where remote start earns its money. So is any car that lives outside.

Add proximity lock and unlock and the car locks as you walk away and unlocks as you walk up, hands full, without touching anything. Add DroneMobile or Viper SmartStart and the whole system lives on your phone from anywhere.

Quick answers

Is remote start a plug-in?

No. Your car has an immobilizer built to stop it starting without the key. We install the vehicle-specific bypass module the manufacturer intends, program it to your car, and wire every safety lockout — brake shutdown, hood-open, in-gear. Then we run cold and warm start cycles before you get the keys.

Can I start it from my phone?

Add DroneMobile or Viper SmartStart and the whole system lives on your phone from anywhere. Proximity lock and unlock is the other add — the car locks as you walk away and unlocks as you walk up, hands full.

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.
