What Are The Biggest Threats to your Dealership Security?

Before partnering with Radius, many of our customers have used security guards or self-monitored camera systems that have been ineffective because of the unique challenges of securing Auto Dealerships. The Automotive industry faces three major crime challenges, and one of these is typically the catalyst for Dealership Managers to start the search for a better crime-prevention solution for their car lot.

1.     Theft on Car Dealerships

An outdoor car lot is vulnerable to theft because typically there is no fenced perimeter protecting the high-value assets that are left outside year-round. Unfortunately what makes for a convenient buying experience, causes some challenges when it comes to security. Security guards, cannot be everywhere at once, which is why Loss Prevention Officers have found security technology to be the best solution for protecting their dealerships. Protecting assets such as tires, rims and catalytic converters which are one of the most commonly stolen items off unprotected dealerships and car lots.

2.     Liability Claims and Customer Car Damage

You have likely dealt with fraudulent liability claims when a customer has left their vehicle with your service department. This had been the main issue with many of our customers which prompted the creation of our Investigations Department. This department will review camera footage to detect any existing damage to vehicles upon arrival, ensuring any pre-existing damage to your customer's vehicle is not attributed to your service.

3.     Vehicle Vandalism on Dealerships

The more expensive and pristine your dealership is, the more attractive it is to vandals. Your best plan of action is to catch them in the act using camera analytics camera surveillance to monitor any suspicious behaviour, and apprehend any vandals on site is the best way to solve

Improve Shopper Experience by Preventing Overnight Crime

Car dealerships are one of the biggest targets for theft and vandalism, costing both time and money to replace parts or repair damage. Going through insurance and paying deductibles adds up quickly. This is why Aly Jiwani, the Vice President of the Open Road Auto Group wanted to find a solution that avoided having to go down that road altogether.

"I have definitely experienced both worlds of just a standard security guard and then Radius Security" Jiwani admits and after experiencing crime almost on a weekly basis before implementing his Redhanded system, and now he says when he starts opening up new dealerships that Radius Security is one of the first calls he makes.

Aly's favourite part of working with Radius Security is the preventative measures that are put in place and when suspicious behavior is detected, Aly gets a notification to his phone with details on whether or not a police response was required.

"These are things that if Radius Security wasn't watching over my properties, then who knows what could've happened."
