REMOTE CAR STARTERS & ALARMS
Remote Car Starter Systems
Comfort
The biggest benefit of a remote starter is the comfort of having a car that is warm or cool before you get in. By leaving the heater or air conditioning in the "On" position, a driver can activate the remote starter then wait several minutes, during which time the climate control runs. Because the car is operating without the keys in the ignition or the driver present, most remote starters also include controls for locking the doors to secure the car remotely.
Safety
There is also a safety benefit to having a remote starter. By allowing an icy car to warm up before driving, it is easier to scrape or defrost the windows, resulting in greater visibility for the driver. Warming the car also melts snow and ice that can obstruct the headlights or brake lights, making your car more visible to other drivers, especially in snowy conditions.
Engine Care
Warming the car, before driving, is beneficial for the engine. For the car's climate control system to start producing warm air, the engine must first warm up as it runs. Because the car idles for several minutes before being driven the engine oil becomes more viscous and provides better lubrication once the driver is ready to go. This warm up period is especially beneficial for cars or trucks with diesel engines, but gas engines also benefit from this feature.
Resale Value
A remote starter also increases the resale value of your car, especially if you live in an area with extreme climate conditions. While it may not be as important as the car's overall condition or mileage, it can still be a useful selling point or a reason to demand more value for a trade-in at a dealership.

In this day and age taking every precaution to protect your vehicle and property is a prudent measure. Crime can affect you when you least expect it. A car alarm is a simple device that sends a message to the potential thief that there is a high likelihood that someone will be alerted if they attempt to perpetrate the crime. In the case of protecting personal valuables, an auto alarm is a cost effective measure to safeguard your property. Thieves, by their nature, will always choose an easier target. The act of installing an alarm increases the likelihood that your vehicle won’t be chosen if other easier alternatives are available.
Smart Phone Remote Start & Alarm Systems

Imagine living on the 3rd or 4th floor of an apartment complex and being able to start your car right from your bedside, and receiving a notification that your car has safely started.
