Default Eastside alarm install place?

Hi all,

Anyone recommend a shop on the eastside (Bellevue, Redmond, etc) that's a reputable alarm install shop? I'm considering getting one but don't really want to go the Car Toys route...

Thanks!

Most of the installers at Car Toys are fine, but like any large company there are going to be some that just plain suck. You need to find one that is good and just request that they work on your car when you take it in.

you could get a quote from benchmark motoring. They are the only audio people I would trust for an alarm install around here. They are expensive though.

Thanks guys.

I actually spoke with Benchmark a while back when I went to Magnolia and found out they don't do car stuff anymore...they recommended them. They seemed like a reputable, higher end shop. I'll do some research on them.

They are the best around as far as install. But it will cost you 3 times the amount over going with Pete...

Just wanted to post an update. Just had a Clifford Matrix 50.5x installed by Pete today. Pete appears to have done an awesome job and took the time to walk me through what he did. Thanks for the recommendation guys!

Thanks again for letting me do the install for you!! Again, if you have any questions with anything just let me know. I always want my customers to be happy with the "Pete" experience....
