You guys no of any good places to get a car alarm installed in the portland/vancouver area? Has anybody had any experience with Car Toys. Want to avoid BB at all costs, I hear they fire everyone who is good at their job

 

LOL, BB does not fire people that are good, they get rid of people that know they are good and ask for more money,

Sorry I don't know of any place in particular, but I would suggest you check out the smaller "mom & pop" shops in your area, and ask questions about how they do their alarm installs and what kind of warranty they give.

At our shop, [although not a "mom & pop"] we.....

1- Give lifetime warranty on all our installs, no appointment needed for warranty problems.

2- We solder all connections on alarms, remote starts, and alarm/remote start combo units, and any connection for anything under the hood.

3- We remove, [depin] any unused wiring on alarms/remote starts, [anything we install]

4- Although there are different levels of alarm installs, even with basic installs we will hide the alarm and it's wiring as best we can.

A basic alarm install will cost $100, [2.5hr] the price will go up by $20 - $40 or more for each feature you add, [EG; key-less entry, starter cut, light flash, hood and trunk/hatch triggers, extra sirens, backup batt./sirens] although, we always run the hood pin wire into engine bay with siren wires, and will do trunk/hatch trigger on Honda/Acuras, even light flash on most Honda/Acuras that have the free pins on the under dash fuse box. 94

 

Car toys has good installers but you will pay for it with high prices.

They are a high pressure sales store. Every time I go in there its like going to trendwest.

With car Toys, no not really.

Its kinda like going to Mcdonalds and being asked if you would like to biggie size it even though you asked for a small. They will try to sell you crap you dont need.
