Frequently Asked Questions
When will extra charges apply?
In most cases your InstallCard will completely cover the cost of installing your product. But in some cases there may be extra charges to be paid at the time of installation, directly to the installer. The two most common reasons installers require additional amounts are: 1. Additional parts required to securely and cosmetically install the product in your particular model of vehicle (example: install kit with harness etc..). OR 2. Sports, Luxury or exotic vehicles that have difficult dashboards requiring significantly more time to take apart or put back together. InstallerNet can work with you and your installer to help you find out if such charges apply and to minimize them.
How quick will InstallerNet get back to me with the name of my local installer?

We are not a service that just hands out names. We actually call the installer and inform them of all the particulars of your installation. Sometimes our contact person is not readily available and most installation facilities are not open on weekends or holidays. So it can take up to 2/3 business days for our customer service reps to get back to you with the name of your local installer.
