i have had a couple of friends who have installed remote car starters and shortly after thier vehicles had issues with starting, occasionally dying out etc. Obviously a small sample group but it made me think a little harder about getting one on my truck. In both cases the remotes had to be removed and other units installed.

i guess I'd want to be clear with the shop with respect to how any post install issues will be dealt with. alos if applicable you might want to see if there is any warranty implications.

you might want to also ask if there is a remote system that works better for your year and make of car.

I should note that in my previous truck (96 explorer) i had a remote/alarms system (python) and it worked flawlessly for several years.
