Car Alarms
Keep your vehicle protected with a monitored alarm system built around how you actually park and drive.
A parking lot fender-bender, a smash-and-grab, or someone testing your door handles at 2 a.m. — a properly installed alarm system means you find out immediately, not the next morning.
What’s included
- Shock and impact sensors tuned to avoid false alarms
- Optional glass-break sensors and tilt sensors (great for trailers and trucks)
- Remote start and GPS tracking on select systems
- Siren and starter-kill relay for real theft deterrence, not just noise
- Integration with existing factory locks and windows where possible
- Most installs take about 1.5–2 hours, depending on the vehicle
Why Express Car Audio
We install Viper and Compustar systems, and we take the time to route and mount every sensor correctly — a rushed job means false alarms or, worse, a system that doesn’t trigger when it should.
“When I had them do my alarm system and upgraded to a remote start, they were able to get me in the same day and took good care of me when it came to pricing.”
