Default Re: REMOTE START?

wow, $600 for that starter is very high! All in all, the wiring is EXACTLY like a new Silverado, Escalade, or any other GM product. Typically, those vehicles take me about an hour to complete. They are one of the easiest and fastest vehicles to put remote starters in. The only time consuming part is getting to the wiring. The top of the center console, dash plate, and other misc. parts have to come off first, which can take some time if you are not familiar with the Hummers. For what the remote starter actually costs him, and the bypass module costs him, he is making about a $450 profit, you do the math...haha. If I was to do a Hummer here, knowing what the actual cost of materials and time would be, I would charge right around $350 installed. Normally, for all other vehicle, for the the 4204, I charge an even $300. Considering the Hummer takes about an hour and a half longer to disassemble and reassemble the dash components, thats where the extra $50 comes from for me. $600 seems very steep to me.
