Honestly the best customer service ive dealt with in a long time, they were above and beyond in helping me when i called or emailed with any issue. My remote start was missing a wire and they sent me one after one call. Device has always worked great for me

Got scammed by MotorCityRemotes
Ordered a remote start setup for my truck. Got it installed and the main control unit was defective. Sent the unit back to Motor City Remotes for testing/replacement. And the shop quit answering their phones, emails ignored and now the website is gone. I got scammed for several hundred dollars. I would say I don't recommend this business, but it appears now that this business is no longer in business.

Scam
Ordered two remotes on Jan 18th. Nobody answers the phone and no remotes arrived yet. What a joke.

Scam website. Buyer beware
Looks like the reviews are correct. I've left several messages with them and no answer. No tracking number for my order. No communication. Reaching to PayPal to get my money back. I guess this site is a scam.

Unbelievable!!!
Unbelievable. They take your order and money and don't deliver. The sales phone number keeps on ringing and nobody answers. I have a sickening feeling that I've been scammed!

Honesty goes a long way..
To this day I just use the alarm, but without flashing parking lights function, and, I've tried to turn on the arming chirps function, which is simple to do, but I believe they sent this to me without programming in a lot of the basic options. Then there is also the missing white wire that they kept insisting was there (for the parking lights) Like I'm so stupid, or I'm color blind. I have installed several alarms, and NEVER had a problem with any of them. I also tried to turn on the dome light timer function, as per the instructions, and THAT would not work either. Another feature I can't use because they did not program that option into the CPU before they sent it to me. I think they need to admit when they are wrong, or realize they make mistakes also. They had this attitude like, I was just a dumb customer, and they are always correct each time I spoke with them. NOTHING was resolved, so I just cut my losses. (Oh, since I could not use the dome light timer feature, I had to drill a hole in each door jamb and install a trigger switch,wired to the instant trigger wire for the hood, so the alarm would sound when a door was opened) otherwise I would have to stand there waiting for the dome light to go out, so I could arm the system. And they thought they were dealing with a clueless beginner, not quite. Yes, there are all these 5 star reviews on Trustpilot, about how wonderful MotorCityRemotes is.These people are fortunate, and lucky that they did not go through the nightmare I had to. Great, I'm happy for them. I am trying to just accept all this, but as a result of several of the features not working, we are sometimes overlooking arming the system. I am so upset with them. Why did they not believe me when I spoke with them? It's difficult for me to not be pissed off every day about all of this. Derick from the tech. dept. was "I'm the professional, you are the idiot" type of person.No help and a big joke.

Rip off internet scam
Ordered a remote starter and an extra remote. Never got an order confirmation. Took a lot of phone calls to finally get my starter without the remote. Still waiting on the remote after a few more phone conversations with some fast talking guy that just tells you what you want to hear. It's been months and I've about given up. They took my money and jerked me around. Avoid this phony make believe company.
Response from MotorCityRemotes.comDec 7, 2020
We are so sorry for the oversite, but our company has been experiencing long delays in manufacturer fulfillment in the last couple of months due to several issues including some COVID19 shutdowns and imports from China to our manufacturer being delayed while in US customs. Additionally, some of our manufacturers are finding it difficult to obtain some electronic parts which have made a few components unavailable as far in the future as April of 2021.
But our records do show that you were shipped the additional remote on 11-13-20 which was delivered to you on 11-14-20. For any further discrepancies please contact our general manager Derek Weber at 1-866-244-8004 and I'm sure he can provide you with a prompt resolution to any disservice you have received.
Again, we apologize for the type of service you received, but we assure you that we have been online for over 18 years and if you were to research our company's reputation prior to the last quarter of this year, that the services we have supplied in the past were 2nd to none. Besides, we don't think any website that was a "scam" would have a Trustpilot account.
