i actually work at circuit city and have also worked at 3 local mom and pop shops, and cricuit city and best buy probaly do more remote start and alarms them most little shops do. i have had 7 years expierence and am mecp certified, which being certified means absolutly shit. the only way to know is if someone has expierience in the field. plus i know that at least at circuit city if someone does happen to break something on your car its fully covered through them. i personally have done 5 yaris with actuators and have never had a problem its actually a very simple car to do, its not a god damn BMW or Porsche its toyota. i dont care were you go every shop has at least one crappy ass installers lurking in the back.

best thing to do is find someone who has had good work done. just cause one best buy sucked doesnt mean all of them do.

My local best buy wouldn't even do it I couldn't even find a alarm shop that would install actuators for me all because of the cable lock system. I am going to end up doing the damn thing myself in the end once I get the right tools and enough time.

yeah on those type of vehicles you drill into the actual lock switcher and hook the rod from the actuator right into it, not on the actual cable.

Some CCs and BBs are good its honestly not crappy the whole way across the entire line of stores but becareful some of the guys in those places are scary. I know this I was a installer at CC and some of the stuff I used to see was horrible. One of the reasons I left there... besides the fact I am too old to be digging around in trunks.
