Guide to Keep Your Car Secure

Always Park in a Secure Place

Parking your car on the street of an unfamiliar neighborhood is dangerous, it is safer to park the car in a gated lot or garage. Gated lots have video cameras and better security features such as gates, hence most car thieves will avoid such areas. Also, you need to park your car in your garage, instead of the driveway to avoid when you are at home. 

Hide Valuables in Your Car

Sometimes thieves want to take something away from the car, if they can't steal the car, do not allow your wallet, smartphone or any other valuable item to lie on the seat. Hiding valuables from the sight of thieves will make your car less attractive to car thieves. It's either you take every valuable item with you or hide them in the glove box, or any other compartment. 

Install a Car Alarm

Though most cars come with alarms these days many don't come with standard alarms. If your car has no loud and efficient alarm, please contact us at GreenPro Locksmith to get it installed for you. Alarms will always attract attention and no car thief wants people looking in their direction while trying to steal cars. A good alarm will scare a thief and someone would intervene before they drive the car away. 

Install an Immobilizer

An immobilizer is one of the best security devices you can install in your car because it stops the car from starting with a wrong key. This device has been programmed to scan the chip installed on the key hence it wouldn't start the car if the chip is not detected. Many cars today come with immobilizers, but if you don't have one please contact GreenPro Locksmith and we will install it for you. 

Install a Tracking System

Your smartphone comes with a GPS that you can use to track it when it is stolen, you should have a similar security device installed in your car. In addition, to help you track your car when stolen, you can use a tracking system when you forgot where your car is parked. Please contact us at GreenPro Locksmith if you need a tracking system in your car. 

Get Locks for Your Steering Wheel and Handbrake

Getting locks installed for your steering wheel and handbrake will make it extremely hard for a thief to operate your car. It will take a long time for a thief to break into your car and then bypass steering wheel and handbrake locks, hence these brakes are very efficient in protecting a car. Please contact us at GreenPro Locksmith to secure your car with the right security device.
