Does anyone know places that will install my remote starter and alarm. I have a Crime Stopper and audio express says they can do it for $350, and best buy cant even do it...anyone know where else i should try?

Well, first thing I don't like the Crimestopper units at all. 2nd, $350 to install it is very expensive. In my area, I charge $100 for the labor plus any parts. I know on a Trailblazer there are 2 very complicated areas that you need to interface into so make sure to get to a shop that knows what it is doing. Last, as far as the big chain stores, really any of them should be able to tackle this although they usually have young kids/adults installing and pay very little for them to do the work. I'd suggest asking around for referrals. That's always the best thing to do. It's even better if you find someone that's had troubles to see how the shop took care of the situation. You might pay a little more at a smaller shop but usually, they have much better customer relations.
