Good alarm shop in calgary - recommend one to me

Looking to get a remote starter in the wife's car for christmas. Being that's it's brand new, and I'd like it to work with our factory alarm/locks/clutch interlock, I'm looking for a good place. I've heard a lot of good things about Compustar for the hardware, but I still don't know where to get it installed.

Anyone?

That's it....Yes So have I.

I have always trusted Autotemp.

What about the brake pedal and side glass discussion ?

No offense Cody, soundsaround and A&B are horrible. 18 year olds working on your investment....no no no. The guys at Autotemp are really good and back up thier work. The guys at Quinn are extremely educated on thier products and the newer vehicles, but are a bunch of stuck-up types when it comes to dealing with a problem..and its NEVER thier fault. There are a few guys in the city that work as independants and do a great job, a little more expensive but well worth it for the lack of grief when it comes to aftermarket products going into newer vehicles. One of them is Razz automotive, owners name is Bryce. Does great work and is totally mobile. I cant find his number but it should be availiable through 411 or the yellow pages. Just another opinion.....but he has installed 5 remote starts for my personal vehicles,(never an issue) and hundreds for the dealers that I have worked for ( a couple issues resolved right away).

none takin, just going by the particlar store i went too, the a&b in lethbridge and the sound surround in the northwest are the only two i went to and have had good luck/service with them, but everyone has had different experiences.

I ended up getting the compustar Pro Installed at AutoDream. I'm satisfied with the service so far, and the product is awesome.
Funny you should mention Quinn, On the Mazda forum I use it's got a really bad reputation for service and quality of install.

I' recommend Quinn Security. They did my starter /alrm combo. 99 f150 5.4v8, 4x4 Too much mods to list. Black/grey, bushbars, also have stickers with team quinn on back glass and sides. You get what you pay for. I'v read the blogs about them and i still can't figure it out. I've had no problems with them. My alarm started acting weird after I had visions electronics install a pioneer nav stereo avic n3 system. Took it to them, just told them what the problems were. They took it in, while they were worknig on other peoples car and I was out of there for $50.00 and half and hour in time. I've had exceptional service and sales from them. I know they're expensive, sometimes it's better to have the best, and just not have to worry that some jerk would try and take my ride.
