Secure Your Dealership and Increase Revenue with Stolen Vehicle Recovery

More and more car dealerships are becoming targets for thieves looking to score big hauls of vehicles. Dealership theft cases have been on the rise in recent years, with an estimated $300 million worth of vehicles stolen from dealerships in the United States each year.

Dealers Are High-Value Targets 

Car dealerships have become ground zero for an escalating motor vehicle theft problem. The reasons for this are multifaceted, ranging from the rise in car key cloning to lax security protocols adopted by some dealerships.

It’s a worrying trend requiring urgent intervention on multiple fronts if it is to be controlled. Otherwise, frequent thefts could leave many dealerships with unprecedented damage and significant financial losses.
