This is the labour to install a car alarm — siren, shock sensor and door, hood and trunk detection, wired into your vehicle and hidden.

What it costs and how long it takes

• Flat rate for the labour
• Four hours for most vehicles
• Same day — by appointment, so your vehicle goes straight onto a bay
• Backed by our lifetime installation warranty

What's included

• Siren mounted under the hood, and an LED status light where you want it
• Hood, door and trunk detection wired
• Shock sensor installed and tuned to your vehicle
• Starter kill relay, if the alarm has one
• Keyless entry connected, if your vehicle has power locks, and trunk release, if it has a power trunk
• Parking lights set to flash when you lock and unlock
• The control module mounted out of sight in a secure location
• Testing every function, and a walkthrough before you leave

What a good alarm install gets right

An alarm is judged on two things: it goes off when it should, and never when it shouldn't. That means tuning the shock sensor to your vehicle rather than leaving it on the factory setting, wiring every zone properly, and putting the siren and control module where they can't be reached and silenced in seconds.

Which install do I need?

Want remote start in the same system? That's ALS-Install. An immobilizer, which stops the vehicle starting rather than making noise, is IMMO-Install. Adding a starter kill to an existing alarm or GPS tracker is STK-Install.

Bringing your own system?

Contact us before you book. Whether we can fit a system you bought elsewhere depends on the system and your vehicle, so we decide case by case. We can't diagnose faults in hardware we didn't supply without a separate troubleshooting charge.

Booking

Add this to your order and we'll contact you after checkout to arrange a time. You don't need to call ahead. If you'd rather book first, use our booking page to request a time at our Markham shop or at your home or work in the GTA.

One thing worth knowing

Every vehicle is different. Depending on make, model and year, some installations need additional parts — relays, diodes, resistors or a vehicle-specific interface — which are charged separately if required. We'll always tell you before doing the work, not after.
