Remote Car Starters in Michigan: Winter Buying & Installation Guide

Michigan winters can be rough, but getting into a freezing car doesn't have to be. Between cold mornings, snow-covered windshields, and icy commutes, a remote car starter can make winter a little easier.

Mickey Shorr is your Winter Remote Start Headquarters! Shop remote starters from trusted brands like Viper and Avital, with professional installation available at our four Metro Detroit locations.

Why Get a Remote Car Starter This Winter?

A remote car starter lets you start your vehicle before heading outside, giving your heating system time to warm up the interior. Depending on your vehicle's climate settings, remote start can also help loosen frost on your windows and make cold mornings more convenient.

Remote starters aren't just for winter. During the summer, a compatible system can help cool your vehicle before you get inside, making remote start a convenient upgrade year-round.

How Much Does a Remote Car Starter Cost?

Remote starter pricing depends on your vehicle, the system you choose, and installation requirements. Features like extended range, two-way communication, smartphone compatibility, and vehicle security can also affect the cost.

Some vehicles may require additional modules or installation components. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend contacting your nearest Mickey Shorr store directly for a quote based on your vehicle.

One-Way vs. Two-Way Remote Starters

One-way remote starters send a command from your remote to your vehicle. Two-way systems can send confirmation back, letting you know whether your vehicle received the command.

If you frequently park farther away from your vehicle, a two-way system may be worth considering. Available range varies by model and surrounding conditions.
