The sun has finally come out!

10-17-18:  We’ve had a dark and dreary fall with lots of rain and clouds.  Seeing the sunshine the past few days has been awesome!  However, the cold, damp weather has certainly spurred interest in our remote car starters.  If you want to stay warm this winter, now is the time to get your car ready.  We can do a fall winterization and a remote starter all at the same time.  Call now to make an appointment!

How can it be August already?

8-3-18  It’s hard to believe that June and July have come and gone and August is here.  The back-to-school ads are in full swing and the days are getting shorter.  We love our Minnesota summers so it’s always sad to see them come to an end.  Regardless, it’s a busy time of year for us as we prepare for the upcoming winter and remote start season.  The cold is right around the corner and we plan to be prepared.  Let us know if we can help you prepare with a new remote car starter.  Happy August everyone!

Finally some heat!

5-18-18  It’s been a long cold winter but we’re finally getting some signs of summer.  Mowing lawn is always enjoyable in spring.  It will get tedious by the end of the summer but for now, it’s all good.  Remember as you go into the summer that your remote starter works to cool your car as well as heat your car.  Having a climate controlled vehicle at the touch of a button is a real luxury.  I should also mention that the new Drone DR5400 model is currently available.  The new model has faster processing and response time so you can start your car from practically anywhere by using your SmartPhone.  Let’s hope we have lots of reasons to stay cool this summer!  Enjoy!

Where is spring?

3-30-18  Easter is right around the corner and I’m watching snow flurries out of my window.  I would prefer the warmth and sunshine that we had last week.  I guess there isn’t much I can do about the weather so I need to find ways to stay warm.  I recently upgraded my remote start system to our RFP2WG15SS.  The system has a 2-mile range and a great looking 4-button remote.  I’ve been very impressed with the unit and love the added range.  It helps me stay warm in these dog days of winter.  If summer ever gets here it will keep me cool, too!  Happy Easter and Passover to all!

Football Fans

2-1-18  Minnesota football fans were disappointed once again this year and the loss is magnified by all the festivities happening right now for Superbowl LII which is being held here in Minneapolis.  We are known as the frigid north and Mother Nature has confirmed that with another round of arctic temperatures and sub-zero windchills.  Visitors to our area will wonder how we are able to deal with this weather.  The reality is that we have lots of coping strategies and owning a remote car starter is one of them.  If you don’t have one yet, give us a call and we’ll give you all the details on how to get yours.  In the meantime, enjoy the game and stay warm!

Wow! It’s Cold Out There

12-29-17    Brrrrr!  This arctic weather is brutal.  Sure makes me glad I have a remote starter and the way our phones are ringing off the hook it seems as though everyone wants a remote starter right now.  Good thing we are here to help!  If you’re looking to stay warm, give us a call at 952-933-3575.

We sincerely hope you have a safe and Happy New Year!

Warm November but arctic blast coming!

11-30-17  Once again, the weather in Minnesota leaves us all guessing.  Our cold October led to a warm November.  December starts tomorrow and the weather report says we’re headed for the deep freeze.  We knew it was coming but it doesn’t mean we have to like it.  If you’re still considering a remote starter check out our new line up including the CompuStar Pro series with extended remote range of up to 2 miles.  Or, even better, get a Drone system operated on your smart phone and start your car from anywhere.  Stay warm wherever you are and Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween 2017!

10-31-17  The ghosts and goblins are out in full force today.  Hopefully they have dressed warm because there is a definite chill in the air and the snowfall last week was a blatant reminder of what we have to look forward to during a typical Minnesota winter.  Fortunately, there are lots of ways to combat the cold and a remote car starter can certainly help.  We’ve got a great lineup of products debuting this fall and look forward to a busy holiday season.  Call us now to book your appointment and be ahead of the crowds.  Happy Halloween!
