With the weather getting colder, Westminster Speed and Sound clients from Maryland and southern Pennsylvania are starting to ask us about the benefits of remote car starters. If you’re a frequent reader of our posts and articles, then it should be clear that we’re ready to embrace the remote starter season with open arms. What is it about a remote car starter that makes owning one so popular? Let’s take a look.
Remote Car Starter Benefits
The biggest advantage of remote starting your vehicle is to make it more comfortable. Letting your car or truck idle for five or 10 minutes gives the engine a head start on warming up and gets some heat into the coolant to warm the interior of the vehicle.
Your vehicle’s engine also benefits from this head start. The oil in your engine has a chance to warm up so that it will flow freely to protect bearings and wear surfaces once you start driving.
On a hot summer day, you can remote start your car or truck so that the air conditioning can begin cooling the interior.
What Else Can a Remote Starter Do?
The second most popular remote starter feature is door lock control. We can interface with your vehicle controls so you can lock and unlock the doors with a push of a button. Another popular add-on feature is power trunk release. Again, a button on your remote will pop your trunk just like pushing the button on your dash. When you are leaving a grocery store, trunk release is incredibly convenient. We can also control rear window defrosters and heated seat systems in most vehicles.
Is My Car Safe When Remote Started?
Yes, your vehicle is just as safe when remote started as it is when sitting in the driveway. We keep the doors locked, and the system is programmed to shut down as soon as someone touches the brake pedal.
Does the Remote Starter Brand Matter?
Absolutely! As with any product, there are reliable, high-performance solutions and there are inexpensive options. We take pride in the products and services we offer to our clients, and we work only with the best brands in the industry to provide reliable, easy-to-use solutions.
