It's actually pretty hard to find a place that will install an alarm that they do not sale you.

If was to travel to JB I would recommend an installer at that location but hes up in Seattle.

The only reason I made the statement is because I used to work there and got fed up with the poor management and how they stopped caring about the quality of the install. Im not saying all the installers do bad installs but the pressure of "getting it out the door" leads to several mistakes and poor workmanship.

I know exactly what you guys are saying. Some of the locations are great because they have good installers. Some of them however are not so good. I've had minor installs done at Best Buy for free that were of better quality than some Car Toys.

I need my autostart hoked up on my viper. I have a good installer friend at cartoys in seattle, made a sweet setupfor me in my eclipse a while back. Would really recommend him. name is scott moore. Go see him, he will take care of you. He hooked me up with the install schematics for my autostart, I just can't read the crap! Not very literate on that side of it, add I guess!
