Compustar in our Carson bay. Payment Plan at the counter.

Two shops can sell you the identical system and you end up with two completely different cars.

The difference is where the brain is hidden, where the siren points, and whether the wiring is buried inside the factory loom or hanging under the dash in plain sight. A thief with your door open has seconds, not minutes — and if he can find the module, he can beat it.

Sensitivity is the other one. A shock sensor set at the bench goes off at every truck that passes, so the owner turns it down until it does nothing at all. We set sensors on your car, in your driving, until the alarm reacts to a real hit and ignores the street.

Ignition kill is the part that actually stops a theft. An alarm makes noise. A starter kill means the car does not move — the starter circuit is interrupted and the vehicle will not crank unless your remote is physically present.

If you drive a Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler, this matters more to you than most. Those vehicles have a known weakness that lets a thief capture or clone the signal and drive away without breaking anything. A properly installed ignition kill ends that. Toyota, Kia and Honda owners are on the theft lists too — same conversation, same solution.

Brands: Viper authorized dealer for over fifteen years and a Diamond Certified installer, which is Viper's top tier. Compustar authorized.

Quick answers

What actually stops a theft — the siren or the ignition kill?

An alarm makes noise. A starter kill means the car does not move — the starter circuit is interrupted and the vehicle will not crank unless your remote is physically present. That is the part that actually stops a theft.

Why does this matter more on a Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler?

Those vehicles have a known weakness that lets a thief capture or clone the signal and drive away without breaking anything. A properly installed ignition kill ends that. Toyota, Kia and Honda owners are on the theft lists too — same conversation, same solution.

Questions

From the shop

Viper or Compustar — which do I need?

We install both and pick by the car. Compustar is the usual choice on Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler, where a copied unlock can beat a siren, because the ignition kill stays on when you walk away. Viper is the usual choice on Ford, GMC, and fleet vehicles, with an ignition kill you turn on. Text Nick the year, make, and model and he will point you to the right one.

Why are Jeeps, Kias, and Hondas stolen so often?

Those cars show up on theft lists in Los Angeles, Long Beach, the South Bay, and Orange County because the attack is specific. A relay or a copied fob signal can start some of them without breaking a window. A siren does not stop that. An ignition kill, placed in the factory loom, does. Toyota, Kia, and Honda get the same conversation as Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler.

What is an ignition kill?

An ignition kill interrupts the starter so the car does not crank unless your remote is present. The siren still makes noise. The kill is the part that keeps the car in the spot. We hide the module so it is not sitting under the dash where someone can find it in seconds.

Can remote start work on push-to-start cars?

Yes, on most push-to-start cars. Many late models need a bypass module so the factory immobilizer stays happy, and we say that before we book the bay. Slots are 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. Text Nick the year, make, and model to confirm your car.

Do you install on European cars?

Generally no, except older models. Most European cars need modules we do not stock, and we would rather say so before you drive over. Text Nick the year, make, and model if yours is an older car and he will tell you if the bay can take it.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes. A Payment Plan is available. Open the Payment Plan page to apply, or text Nick and he will send the link. Booking a slot does not take a deposit.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. Book a slot or text Nick. Same-day is possible if you arrive at 9:30 opening, Monday through Saturday. Sunday the shop is closed.

Can I drop my car off overnight?

Yes, Tuesday through Thursday. Drop your car at close, by 6 PM, and pick it up the next day. We photograph your car at check-in so you see its condition before we touch it. Text Nick to reserve an overnight spot.
