FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
B&C has answered many questions since 1988.
These are the most common questions.
Q: How much is a remote starter for my car?
A: It depends on the car.
Give us the particulars of your vehicle and we can give you an exact price and appointment time. We install remote starts in most US-made autos.
• ALL vehicles require an installed 'brain module.'
• Some vehicles require a module to simulate the ignition key.
• Some vehicles require extra equipment or labor.
Whatever the cost, you can be sure we will likely have the best price, fast service, and a LIFETIME parts and labor warranty (save your receipt!) for as long as you own your car! Call Us at 860-274-4324 for an exact price.
DON'T wait for cold weather! Your remote start can also be used with your vehicles air-conditioning in the summer! We install remote starters ALL YEAR ROUND!
Once the winter months arrive it can take 3-4 weeks to get an available appointment!
Q: Can B&C install MY audio equipment into my car?
A: Yes!
We've been doing that for 30+ years! Stop by so we can review your equipment and your vehicle and make sure we have everything you need. With our large inventory, we likely have all necessary parts in stock. We can also schedule your appointment when you stop by.
Q: Can I buy an installed remote starter as a gift?
A: Yes!
Call or stop by with the exact year and model of the car, answer a few questions, and get an exact cost. Then purchase the Gift Certificate for the exact amount. You can also schedule the appoint at that time.
Some customers arrange to secretly drop off the car ahead of the gift date, and then give the gift-wrapped remote starter box!
Q: Why doesn't my remote start work?
A: We don't know until we examine it.
We can diagnose the problem after examing the vehicle, and easily fix or replace the current unit. Under warranty if it was purchased from B&C!
The most common reasons we have seen include:
• Dead batteries in the remote.
• Disturbed wires from recent mechanic service.
• Lost communication between the remotes and vehicle.
• Remote Start unit is in "Valet Mode."
Call us to set up an appointment so we can fully diagnose the problem and get your remote starter working properly again.
Q: Why does my remote start only operate the door locks or flash the parking lights?
A: It's likely in "Valet Mode."
Check your remote start user manual (which you received when the unit was installed) to see how to remove it from "Valet Mode". Or stop by and let us have a look at it and diagnose the problem.
Q: Can you tune my existing installed equipment?
A:Yes.
Sound quality comes from components that are properly sized, installed and configured. If your current equipment doesn't sound as good as you would like, let us tune it. This is what we do!
Q: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
A: Three.
