Common theft methods
How cars are stolen now, and how we stop it.
Most modern thefts don't involve a broken window. They exploit the car's own electronics. These are the methods we protect against.
01
Relay attack
Two devices relay the signal from a keyless fob inside your house, so the car thinks the key is standing next to it.
How we stop it: A CAN immobiliser adds a second step, a PIN on the car's own buttons or a tag or phone, so the relayed signal alone won't start the engine.
02
Key programming via the OBD port
With access to the diagnostic port, a blank key can be programmed to the car in minutes.
How we stop it: An aftermarket immobiliser works independently of the car's key system, so a newly programmed key still can't drive it away.
03
CAN injection
Thieves reach the vehicle's wiring, often behind a headlight or wheel arch, and send fake messages that unlock and start the car.
How we stop it: The immobiliser keeps the engine disabled until its own authorisation is given, which injected messages don't provide.
04
Lost or stolen keys
A key that has gone missing can still open and start the car, which matters if it went missing with your address.
How we stop it: New keys are programmed and lost ones are removed from the car's memory, so they stop working.
If the worst happens, a Thatcham-certified S5 or S7 tracker helps get the vehicle back, and is often what insurers ask for. Get a fixed quote for a tracker.

Send the basics. We will check compatibility and contact you by your preferred method—no open calendar and no obligation.
06 · Before you enquire
Questions, answered.
01How much will it cost?
Every job is priced against the exact vehicle and the work needed, so there's no one-size price list. Send the make, model and year and you'll get a fixed quote before anything is booked.
02How does mobile fitting work?
We come to wherever the vehicle is: your driveway, workplace or a safe roadside spot. All the equipment travels in the van. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and you'll get a time estimate with your quote.
03Will it work on my vehicle?
Compatibility depends on the make, model and year, and on anything already fitted. That's checked before we quote. If a job can't be done properly on your car, we'll tell you straight away.
04What happens if I've lost all my keys?
You'll need proof of ownership, such as the V5C logbook, and photo ID. We gain entry without damage where needed, program new keys to the car with dedicated key equipment, and remove the lost keys from the car's memory so they no longer work.
05What is non-destructive entry?
Opening a locked vehicle with specialist automotive tools, without damaging the locks, doors or glass. It's carried out by an accredited auto locksmith, and only for the owner or keeper once ownership is confirmed.
06Do your trackers satisfy insurers?
We fit Thatcham-certified S5 and S7 trackers from Meta Trak and Scorpion. Both are monitored around the clock. S5 systems add driver-recognition tags, so the monitoring centre is alerted if the car moves without one, which is what many insurers specify for higher-risk vehicles. Check your policy wording and we'll match the system to it.
07What warranty do I get?
Every system we fit comes with its manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer sets the terms, which vary by product, so we'll tell you what applies to your system when we quote. The fitting work itself is fully insured.
08Is asking for a quote a booking?
No. It's an enquiry. We check your vehicle and requirements first, then reply with a fixed quote. Nothing is booked until you've agreed it.
