Vehicle Security Upgrades
Vehicle theft in London and Essex has moved away from broken glass and towards electronics. Relay attacks copy the signal from a keyless fob through a front door, and OBD attacks program a blank key in under a minute. Neither leaves obvious damage, which is exactly why owners of keyless cars, vans and pickups increasingly ask for a second layer of protection.
We fit security at your vehicle and explain what each option actually stops. Nothing we fit is described as theft-proof — the aim is to make your vehicle slower and less attractive to steal than the one parked next to it.

Keyless theft protection and relay attacks
If your car unlocks as you approach it, the fob is broadcasting. Thieves relay that signal from wherever the keys sit indoors to the vehicle on the drive. Signal-blocking storage helps and costs almost nothing; an added electronic barrier that requires a step the thief cannot guess is what actually stops the drive-away.
OBD port protection
The diagnostic socket under the dashboard is a legitimate programming route — which is why it is also an attack route. Protecting or restricting access to that socket removes one of the quickest ways to add an unauthorised key to your vehicle.
Visible deterrents for car, van and pickup security
A visible physical device does two jobs: it takes real time to defeat, and it tells anyone assessing the vehicle to move on. On vans and pickups, which are targeted for both the vehicle and the tools inside, visible security is often the single most effective spend.
