Shops to stay away from when getting an alarm installed??
Not necessarily a rush job. Make sure everything is hidden very well, if you can look under the dash and see the brain, so can a thief. Make sure everything is soldered and they tape all of the wires black. Take a look under your dash now, maybe snap pictures, then when they are done, you will have a clue of what it looked like before and compare how clean it is.
Also, I would add a backup battery siren(515r) and backup battery(520t) for the alarm. This will allow the alarm to still function if someone breaks your window, pops the hood and disconnects the battery. Without them , thats all they would have to do to kill the alarm and buy them all the time they need.
I would hope they dont use crimp connects for an alarm. Not to say you would have problems with them, but IMO solder is the only way to go. No loose connections or wires that can be pulled apart with solder.

Wow lol, looks like the hack job that Al & Eds Auto sound did on my Talon many years ago. The Alarm brain box landed on my feet on the drive home after the install! They had just black taped the box to some wires under the dash. I ended up getting the schematics to the alarm and re-wired everything myself and it turned out nice and stealth. It's sad that there's so much incompetence in the auto industry.
