A good price for Alarm install?

I went to a couple of shops around my area and the cheapest quote I got for an alarm install, with the remote start and automatic window roll up was 500 labor

?!?!?!?! Is that what I should be expecting? or should I look around more.

Yup. Install is probably half the cost at least.

wow thats pretty expensive... the shop i goto here in toronto charges 70 for installation of a remote starter unit and a bit more for alarm and other stuff.. the only thing that makes it more expensive is the unit itself... (canadian funds)

labor of installation on 7thgencivic, competitive places:

KE/alarm/RS- 150-200 depend on area
bypass- ~50
window- ~50-100 depend on ur car and features

max youll have to spend if 400 in labor at a very high quality labor.

radioactive77 has a little shameless behaviour in the past

circuit city charges 160 for an alarm remotestart combo installation, a window roll up module install is like 40 -50 but circuit usually only installs there own equipment.
