Mechanics souped up the earliest horseless carriages by filling them with premium oats and lovingly grooming their spoilers. Spur your steed toward the horizon with today's Groupon: for $125, you get a remote car-start system with installation at Lowersoundz in Edmond (a $250 value). Some models of vehicles may require additional parts, such as bypass modules, not included in this Groupon.

Lowersoundz's auto specialists equip vehicles with remote-start systems that fire cars up without the need of a key. After calling and setting up an appointment, customers drop off their vehicle or robot-dog sled at the Lowersoundz shop, where technicians spend about a day carefully installing an Avital 4113L receiver. Each remote-start system comes with two one-button remotes that rouse the engine from a distance, keeping drivers warm during winter mornings or safe from grumpy grandcars woken up from their afternoon naps. The installation includes Avital's limited lifetime warranty, and the remote can also be programmed to unlock doors and release trunks for an additional fee.
