What vehicle security services does VMS Autocare offer?

VMS Autocare supplies and installs insurance approved trackers, vehicle immobilisers and front and rear dash cameras. Every system is fitted by trained engineers to protect your car against theft, damage and keyless attacks.

How do I protect my car from keyless theft and relay attacks?

The strongest protection combines an immobiliser like the CAN-PHANTOM to stop the car being driven, with an insurance approved tracker for stolen vehicle recovery. The ScorpionTrack S5 features Automatic Driver Recognition, providing an additional layer of control after recovery.

Do you offer mobile installation at my home or workplace?

Yes. Our mobile engineers can come to your home or workplace to fit trackers, immobilisers and dash cams, so your vehicle never has to leave you. Installation is booked at a time that suits you, typically within a few working days.

Will a security system lower my car insurance premium?

Thatcham-approved trackers, recognised immobilisers, and dash cams can reduce your car insurance premium, as insurers view a protected vehicle as a lower theft risk. Savings vary by insurer and vehicle, so confirm the discount with your provider before booking.

Can I track my car from my phone?

Yes. Our trackers come with a free iPhone and Android app showing real-time GPS location, route history and instant theft alerts, so you can monitor your vehicle anytime.

What's the difference between S5, S7 and S5 Plus trackers?

An S7 tracker offers 24/7 monitoring with tow-away and tamper alerts. An S5 tracker adds Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) tags that alert the control room if the car moves without the tag, and the S5+ adds remote immobilisation for the highest level of protection, with a no-tag-no-start feature.

Will an insurance approved tracker reduce my premium, and why do insurers require one?

Insurers increasingly require approved trackers on keyless and high-value cars because they cut theft risk and boost recovery rates. Fitting one can reduce your premium, though the saving depends on your insurer and vehicle.

Do vehicle trackers need a subscription?

Yes. Insurance approved trackers need an active subscription from the tracker company because a fully staffed UK control room monitors your vehicle 24/7 and coordinates recovery with police.

How long does tracker installation take and is it done at my home?

Installation time varies by vehicle, but all trackers can be fitted at your home or workplace by one of our professional installers.

Are all car trackers similar?

No, not all vehicle trackers are insurance approved and Thatcham verified. The ones we fit are fully tested and approved to recognised UK standards, ensuring trusted performance and reliable vehicle protection.

Will an immobiliser affect my car's electronics or warranty?

No. When professionally installed into the CAN bus by a certified engineer, the immobiliser integrates silently in the background without affecting your start/stop system, electronics or manufacturer warranty.

Do I need a front and rear dash cam?

A front and rear dash cam gives full coverage of the road ahead and behind, capturing rear-end collisions, hit-and-runs and tailgaters that a single front camera misses.

Does a dash cam record when the car is parked?

A hardwired dash cam with parking mode keeps recording while you're away, capturing vandalism, door dings or hit-and-runs using motion and impact detection.

Will a hardwired dash cam drain my car battery?

No. A professionally hardwired dash cam uses a low-voltage cut-off that stops drawing power before your battery is affected.

Can dash cam footage be used for insurance claims?

Yes. Many UK insurers accept dash cam footage as evidence, and it can speed up claims and prove who was at fault.

Are dash cams legal in the UK and where should they be mounted?

Dash cams are legal in the UK, but they must not obstruct your view. Mount the camera behind the rear-view mirror, within 40mm of the area swept by your wipers.

How long does professional dash cam installation take?

A hardwired front and rear dash cam is typically fitted in around 1-2 hours, with cables neatly hidden in the trim for a clean, factory-look finish.

What's the difference between car detailing and valeting?

Valeting is a thorough interior and exterior clean, usually completed in a few hours. Car detailing goes far deeper, adding paint correction, decontamination and long-term protection such as ceramic coating.

How long does a full car detail take?

A full detail usually takes from a day to several days depending on the vehicle's condition and whether multi-stage paint correction is included.

What is paint correction and ceramic coating?

Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove swirl marks, scratches and oxidation from your paintwork. A ceramic coating is then applied as a durable, long-lasting layer of paint protection.

How often should I have my car detailed?

Most drivers benefit from a full detail two or three times a year, with regular maintenance valets in between.

Does detailing protect my car's resale value?

Yes. Professional detailing and paint protection preserve your paintwork and interior, helping your car look its best and command a stronger resale or part-exchange price.

Do you offer mobile detailing at my location?

Yes. Our mobile detailing service comes to your home or workplace fully equipped, delivering professional results on your driveway.

What exactly does becoming a partner involve?

Very little on your side. You introduce customers to VMS Autocare by passing on their contact details, mentioning us directly, or referring them to our website. Your involvement ends at the referral.

How does the commission work?

You earn a commission for each customer you refer who goes ahead with an installation. The rate is agreed when the partnership is set up.

Is there a minimum number of referrals we need to make?

No. There is no minimum referral requirement and no monthly targets.

Do we need any product knowledge to take part?

No. VMS Autocare handles all product questions, specification, and technical conversation from that point.

What types of business is this suited to?

Independent garages, franchised car dealerships, used car traders, fleet managers, and motor finance brokers are the most natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about car immobilisers, installation, and vehicle protection.

What is a car immobiliser and how does it work?

A car immobiliser is an anti-theft device that stops the engine starting unless a unique disarm sequence is entered. Our TASSA-approved CAN bus immobilisers connect to your car's electronics and require a personal PIN via the existing buttons, so the car can't be hot-wired or driven without it.

Does an immobiliser increase the value of my vehicle?

A professionally installed immobiliser can make your vehicle more desirable to buyers and support its resale value.

Does an immobiliser require a subscription?

No. Unlike a monitored tracker, our immobiliser system has no subscription or ongoing fees, making it a cost-effective, one-off vehicle security upgrade.

Can the immobiliser be transferred to my next car?

Yes. The CanPhantom is fully reversible and can be professionally removed and refitted to a new vehicle, so your investment moves with you.

Do you fit immobilisers in Purley, Croydon and Surrey?

Yes. Our certified engineers provide immobiliser installation and fitting across Purley, Croydon and Surrey, with the same TASSA-approved standard wherever you're based.
