Default Remote Start recommedations?

My girlfriend is interested in getting a remote starter installed for her 09' Nissan Rogue. Any recommended shops in the GTA West? And recommended units? She doesn't need any fancy features.

It's been a while, but I've had Best Buy put in alarms and head units in my cars and trucks. Do they still have bays? Used to buy, free install, and free removal. Great if it was a lease return.
Cross price with the dealer. Does Nissan not add it as a dealer option? Does your girlfriends car still have warranty?? I hate it when they blame a flat tire on the aftermarket alarm or tint job.

Yes, but sadly I heard that Keith is sick.

I'm looking for myself and my sisters car. Maybe we can do a group buy? LOL.

The only Bestbuy in Ontario with a car install bay is the location at Weston Road and 401 - that's it!

Having said that, I hear their prices are fair and they do decent work.

I got some decent quotes from Audio Heaven in Richmond Hill over Christmas. Not sure what the prices will be like now.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue. I got a dealer quote - don't even bother.

I'd like to hear of any good deals too. Can't go to Burlington though.

A few years back the BestBuy in Newmarket at Green Lane and Yonge had a car install bay, I know because they used it to install stuff in my car. Did they get rid of this?

Well, I was at the Bestbuy on the Queensway about a month ago and the guy told me that other then the 401/Weston Road location, they closed all of their install bays. Queensway used to have on too - gone. I don't even think they have a real car audio section per say. Just random stuff.
I know when Future Shop was around, they were moving towards Future Shop handling car stuff exclusively for them, and we know what happened to them.

Kent is a very unique fellow that's for sure.

After the closure of Future Shop which did pretty much all the installs, Best Buy reduced their commitment to car products and with that Best Buy has only one (1) install bay per province!

There's Ultra Auto Sound - Mississauga, Number 1 Sound - Toronto, Auto Sound Design - Markham, KHF - Markham that are all good.

Didn't get a chance to look into this any further over the weekend, but hopefully can start contacting during the week and see what we get figured out.

Is that for a one way or a two way? If it's a two way, it's a pretty good price. One way, then it's average.
Ultra Auto Sound has prices listed on their website. Not sure how current they are or if you can get a better deal if you call or visit?
