Default Remote Car Starters - Good Deals for Calgary

As the topic relays, I'm looking for a good deal on a remote car starter including installation in Calgary (I'm still wishing I had taken Neeper up on the deals he was offering before). The car is a 1999 Dodge Neon (in all of its craptitude) with automatic transmission. Anyone know of any good shops or deals?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah I'll bet it was a heck of a lot better than me getting out of bed 15 minutes earlier so I could go out and get the car started. I want my sleep back -- How much does it cost?

Had it installed a year ago or so. They have a large variety of them. I think mine was around ~250 or so.

I've asked around and was told Autotemp is good, and Quinn is good but they really try to upsell you (but their installation is well done).

I haven't had one put in my truck yet, but did have it in my previous 2 vehicles.

If you can swing it, get the 2 way remote. It is handy getting a confirmation that the vehicle started as opposed to needing to park in view of a window or chancing that it didn't get the signal.

Don't go with the Auto-Start or Polar-Start crap that Neeper was selling. It's given me nothing but trouble...unless his install guy didn't know what he was doing which isn't out of the question.

I got mine done at Autotemps and love it. I paid over $700 though

A 2 way is a must. You don't want to start it and not knowing if it got the signal or not so you press it again not knowing that it already started and you just shut it off
