Theft Protection: Safeguard Your Vehicle Investment
Enhance Your Dealership’s Offerings with Cutting-Edge Security
As a car dealership owner, you’re not just selling vehicles – you’re providing peace of mind. In today’s world, where vehicle theft remains a persistent concern, offering comprehensive protection is more crucial than ever.
Our Theft Protection program is designed to give your customers an advanced layer of security that not only protects their investment but also significantly boosts your dealership’s bottom line.
Why Offer Theft Protection?
Increased F&I Revenue: Add a high-value product to your portfolio that customers will appreciate and willingly invest in. Theft Protection can significantly boost your per-vehicle profit margins.
Customer Satisfaction: Provide peace of mind, increasing loyalty to your dealership. Satisfied customers are more likely to return for future purchases and recommend your dealership to others.
Competitive Edge: Stand out from other dealerships by offering this valuable protection. In a crowded market, unique offerings like Theft Protection can be the deciding factor for potential buyers.
Reduced Risk: By deterring theft and aiding in vehicle recovery, you’re helping to maintain a positive reputation for your dealership and the surrounding community.
The Alarming Reality of Vehicle Theft
The threat of vehicle theft is more prevalent than many realize:
- A vehicle is stolen every 40 seconds in the United States, translating to nearly 2,200 vehicles per day.
- Professional thieves can steal a car in less than a minute, often targeting popular models for their parts.
- Vehicle recovery rates are steadily declining, with many stolen vehicles never found or returned to their owners.
- Insurance often doesn’t cover all costs associated with theft, leaving car owners with significant out-of-pocket expenses.
- Stolen vehicles are frequently used in other crimes, amplifying the negative impact on communities.
These statistics underscore the importance of proactive protection measures like our Theft Protection program.
Key Features and Benefits for Your Customers
Our Roadside Assistance program offers a comprehensive suite of services to keep your customers moving:
Permanent Marking:
Vehicles are marked with traceable identification codes using state-of-the-art technology. These marks are applied to various parts of the vehicle, making it difficult for thieves to remove or alter them.
National Database:
Codes are registered to the customer and listed in a secure national database used by law enforcement agencies across the country. This ensures quick identification if the vehicle is recovered.
Theft Deterrent:
Visible markings and warning decals are prominently displayed, serving as a powerful deterrent to potential thieves. Criminals are less likely to target vehicles they know can be easily traced.
Recovery Aid:
If a protected vehicle is stolen, the unique markings significantly increase the chances of recovery. Law enforcement can quickly identify the vehicle and return it to its rightful owner.
Financial Safety Net:
In the unfortunate event of a theft, our program provides up to $5,000 to cover costs not typically covered by standard insurance policies. This financial cushion helps customers get back on the road faster.
