Remote Starters in Columbus, OH

CompuStar remote starters and DroneMobile app control for Columbus drivers, with same-day installs and a lifetime warranty on the CompuStar brain. Since 1997.

Remote Start for Columbus Winters

Whether you park on the street in Clintonville, in a garage downtown or in a big lot at work, a frozen car is no way to start the day. A CompuStar remote starter warms your engine and cabin before you walk out, and with DroneMobile you can start it from your phone even if you're parked blocks away.

We're in Powell, about 25 minutes from downtown Columbus up OH-315. Since 1997 we've installed remote starters for Columbus drivers in everything from compact cars to full-size trucks.

Why We Install CompuStar

We stick with CompuStar for one reason: it works, winter after winter, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty on the control module:

• Lifetime warranty on the CompuStar control module (the brain of the system). Remotes carry the manufacturer warranty.
• Works with most push-to-start and key vehicles.
• 1-way and 2-way remote options, including 2-way remotes that confirm your vehicle started.
• Keeps your vehicle locked and secure while it warms up or cools down.
• Climate ready: come out to a warm, defrosted car in winter and a cooled-down cabin in summer.

Start, Lock and Track from Your Phone with DroneMobile

Add DroneMobile to your CompuStar system and your smartphone becomes your remote. Start your car from your office, the gym or across town, lock and unlock it, check that it's running, and see where it is on a map. Security alerts let you know if something happens to your vehicle. DroneMobile requires a service plan, and we'll walk you through the options.

Remote Starter FAQs from Columbus Drivers

Will a remote starter void my vehicle warranty?

No. Under federal law, a dealer can't void your warranty just because an aftermarket product was installed; they would have to show that product caused the problem. We install every CompuStar system cleanly and to spec.

Does a remote starter work with push-to-start vehicles?

Yes. CompuStar systems work with most push-to-start and traditional key vehicles. Call us with your year, make and model and we'll confirm the right system.

Can I start my car from my phone?

Yes. Add DroneMobile and you can start, lock, unlock and locate your vehicle from your smartphone, with no range limit as long as you have a cell signal. DroneMobile service requires a plan.

Is a remote-started car safe to leave running?

Yes. The doors stay locked while it runs, and the vehicle can't be driven without your key. If someone tries, the engine shuts off.

Can you install it the same day?

Most remote starter installs are same-day. We'll give you a time when you book.

Do you serve all of Columbus?

Yes. We work with drivers from Clintonville, the Short North, German Village, Victorian Village, Northwest Columbus, Polaris and Easton, plus nearby Worthington, Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights.

I park in a garage at work. Will remote start still work?

DroneMobile works anywhere your car and phone both have a cell signal, which covers most garages and lots. We can help you decide whether a 2-way remote, DroneMobile or both makes the most sense.
