Over 1.2 million vehicle related thefts were reported for 2009-2010
Vehicle theft is an unfortunate fact of modern living and at Berkshire Land Rover, we take on average one or two calls per week from people who have lost their prized possession and are left without a vehicle. Perhaps worse than the theft of the vehicle is the task of trying to replace it and if the vehicle is a Custom Build or has been customised, that is often a tall order and may necessitate an extended search.
The ever increasing levels of sophistication in car/key theft, means you don't always know who is around the corner. Vehicle theft is as inconvenient as it is distressing and there is a strong possibility that, without a tracking device your vehicle may never be recovered!
There is a solution – Berkshire Land Rover have joined with Traffic Master to offer Trackstar GPS Tracking units for your vehicle. In the event of your car being stolen, Trackstar will help find it, where the key to recovery is speed...
· Trackstar deploys the latest GPS Stolen Vehicle Tracking technology to immediately locate and track your vehicle, liase with the police and recover your vehicle in the shortest possible time.
· Trackstar pinpoints the location of a stolen vehicle every 20 seconds. If your vehicle is moved illegally it can be located using the Global Positioning System (GPS) in your Trackstar vehicle tracking unit. If your vehicle is moved without the use of its keys, the unit will notify Trackstar control and they will contact you immediately.
· Trackstar is the only Land Rover and Range Rover approved Stolen Vehicle Tracking & Recovery product, and is approved for installation throughout the UK automotive industry.
· In the first 6 months of this year Trackstar recovered a total value of £1,082,062 worth of BMW's alone; with the shortest recovery time of only 8 minutes!
Key Benefits

Fitting a Trackstar to your vehicle will almost certainly provide peace of mind, but according to a survey carried out by the Sunday Times a vehicle tracking device may also save you money on insurance. For a recent article on tracking devices, they obtained five quotes for a 30 year old man with full no-claims entitlement, driving a £16,000 vehicle.
Without a tracking device, the average quote was £670, however, with a tracking device fitted this dropped to £608, while two companies declined to quote without a tracking device fitted.
With your Trackstar installed and registered you can rest assured that if it does go missing it will be recovered quickly and you may even save money on your insurance. Hopefully you will never need to use it, but how do you know that it is doing its job?
Simple, as a Trackstar customer you are entitled to 6 test tracks per year. This means that Trackstar track the vehicle as they would if the vehicle was stolen and check the key functions of the unit i.e. GPS score, tracking to correct location, tracking in real time etc. Should you want this arranged please call the Test Track team on 01234 759138 when the vehicle has recently been moved and is in an area with a clear view of the sky.
If you would like more information or would like to book your car in to have a Trackstar vehicle tracking system fitted, please speak to sales or service on 01628 566247.
