auto starter, annual service $$$

So two quick questions if anyone can help me out....

1) There's a lot of floating threads on auto-starters for a manual trans which gives mixed reviews. Does anyone have any good experience with one? Now that my warranty is over I want to put one in for the winter. Anyone recommend any places in NYC or surrounding area?

2) On a related matter, since my maintenance plan is over as well, has anyone done a standard annual maintenance out of pocket and what it cost? Im guessing it's in the hundreds if not more. :( Anyone have any recommendation besides dealer?

thanks!

if by auto-starter you mean remote starter then that is not recommended. Per owners manual do not warm up by idling... get in and go.
