Are Car Remote Starters Worth It?

One of the coolest features you can add to your car is a remote starter. A remote starter allows you to fire up your vehicle before you even enter it, starting your engine with just the push of a button. While a remote starter may seem to be just a simple novelty at first glance, there are actually a lot of benefits of having a remote starter, and below we explain why a car remote starter is totally worth it.

1. Get Your Car to the Ideal Temperature

No matter the weather out, a remote starter can get the inside of your car to the perfect temperature before you even step foot in the vehicle. On incredibly hot days, a remote starter allows you to turn on the engine and get the air conditioning going, allowing you to have a chilly interior to escape the heat. If the weather outside is frightful, make the inside of your car delightful by firing up the heater.

2. Get Your Car Ready for a Quick Getaway

If you are parked in a dark alley or need to make a quick getaway on a rainy day, a remote starter helps you maximize your efficiency when making an exit. Before you even walk outside, you can start the engine and unlock your car. That way, once you walk up to the car all you need to do is open the door, take a seat, and you are ready to go.

3. Carry Luggage or Groceries With Ease

We all have had our hands full of luggage or grocery bags and struggled to get our keys out of our pockets to unlock the door. Since a remote starter allows you to lock or unlock the door from a distance, you do not need to worry about putting all of your bags down to find your keys anymore. Instead, load or unload all of your bags, and then unlock or lock the car once your hands are empty.

4. Leave the Car On With the Doors Locked

It is a cold winter evening and you need to grab some supplies from the convenience store. You just want to run in the store for a second and ideally want to leave the engine running, but leaving the engine running with the doors unlocked is practically begging for someone to steal your car. With a remote starter, you can leave your keys in the engine but lock the car, allowing you to bolt into the store for an errand and come back to a warm and toasty car.

5. Scare Away Unwanted Visitors

If you are walking towards your car and see some unwanted visitors staring at your vehicle, scare them away by turning on the engine. You can observe how the individuals react, and if they are unfazed, you can escalate the situation and seek help.
