What If Something Goes Wrong?
What If Something Goes Wrong?
Smart Starter conducts a pre-trip inspection before starting your truck, and continuously monitors your trucks oil pressure, coolant level, and engine temperature while running your truck. If something goes wrong it will shut down the engine right away, and send a notification directly to your phone.

"I run 6 trucks out of Winnipeg and last winter was brutal. Every single morning my drivers were showing up to trucks that wouldn't start. Since I put these on, zero dead batteries, zero service calls, zero drama. Best money I've spent on the fleet in years."
"Was paying $180-$220 every time I needed a jump start out on the road. Had 4 calls last winter alone. Installed this myself in 20 minutes, haven't needed a boost since. The warranty gave me peace of mind too — they actually stand behind it."
"My dispatcher used to build in an extra 45 minutes every cold morning just for warmup time. Now the trucks are ready when the drivers are. That time adds up to real money over a season."
"Had a gelled fuel situation last February that cost me two days of revenue and a $600 service call. Put these on all three trucks before this winter. Not a single issue. Money well spent."
"Plugged it in myself, no mechanic needed. Everything was clearly labeled and the instructions were written for someone who actually works on trucks, not just reads about them."
