JD did a great job! The remote start was installed on time, just 1 day after contacting, quickly (35 minute install) and it works great. If I needed another remote start installed I wouldn't hesitate I would return.

Exceptional, best service I’ve ever had. No surprises except how it all was as advertised! They work out of their home which I was skeptical of but don’t let that turn you away, they are worth every penny and I don’t usually do reviews but their service deserves it!

Absolutely, one of the best experiences I have had involving ANY type of vehicle-related service. Scheduling was easy. Upon arrival, he was ready to go ... very efficient ... in and out in 20 minutes. Would absolutely recommend this service to anyone.

We dropped the truck off and they told us they would call when they were done. We were told it might be an hour or more. We met friends for breakfast and before we even ordered our food we received a text that the truck was done. It took 1/2 hour. They went over the instructions very well and asked us if we had any questions, left printed instructions in a box in the truck and followed up with an e-mail and video. I'm a nurse and I work 2nd shift. It's a comfort to know that I can start my truck from inside and it is running safely locked and getting warm for when I'm ready to go home. Peace of mind to be sure. I've told countless co-workers about it and I'd recommend this husband and wife team to anyone who asks.

Everything went flawlessly. This is a husband and wife running a business out of their home but make no mistake: these people know exactly what they are doing and they do it very well. Completely professional, courteous and customer-service oriented. I was in and out in under 45 minutes and extremely happy with the whole experience. The starter is working great for my wife. I would recommend Remotely Started MN to anyone without hesitation.

The Remotely Started business is very impressive.  Their website and communication is the best I have ever seen.  Every time you interact with the site in terms of requesting quotes or for scheduling you get almost immediate responses back via email.  The product options are well explained and even include videos to further explain options and features. The quality of the remote start devices so far (after three weeks of usage) seems to be excellent.
When I had follow-up questions about choosing the right product the provider was extremely fast about sending me answers.  You could tell that they are very customer focused.
When I arrived at the business address I was again impressed with the smooth and efficient work that was performed.  This guy is very good at what he does.

It went very well.  The remote works using the  lock and starter key fob that came with my car.  It works from inside our house, just as I wanted.  The installation took less that 30 minutes.  The price for this was much less than competitors and works just  as well.

Great experience.  Really easy to request a quote and schedule online which I really liked.  I had a couple of questions after reviewing the website and JD was easily available and answered my questions knowledgeably.  Service was performed at his home. I sat on the provided patio chairs (I was invited inside but it was a lovely day) and caught up on email (free WiFi provided) while he did the work which was completed in about 45 minutes.  He gave me a quick tutorial on how to use the remote and I was on my way.  The price was better than other places I had checked for the type of vehicle I have.  I would definitely recommend this company.

JD works out of his house which keeps cost down but that doesn't mean he is any less professional. He was the *only* independent remote car start installer who answered my emails and he did so in a timely and thorough manner without making me feel dumb with all of my questions. The service itself took maybe an hour and he drove me to a nearby coffee shop and picked me up when it was done so I could relax during the service. He showed me how to use the product and told me to call/email with any questions. The product I chose to have installed works perfectly and it is so awesome to get into a warm car on these cold Minnesota days!
