The dream of most car enthusiasts is to get their hands on a supercar. Once that dream is achieved, reality sinks in, and it’s time to start thinking about keeping it safe.
A supercar, aside from its value of passion, is an expensive asset that needs to be protected. A tried-and-tested technique for doing so, and one that has been the go-to for car owners across the world, is getting a supercar tracker installed. In this article post, let us tell you a bit more about them.
Why You Need a Supercar Tracker?
Luxury and sports cars are commonly targeted by thieves for their high resale value, parts worth a fortune on the black market, and the simple fact that they’re rare. Even in the black market, these cars can be sold for quite a hefty amount between April 2023 and March 2024, 129,159 vehicles were stolen. Approximately, that amounts to a car being stolen every 11 minutes in the UK.
This creates a tense situation for car owners, and parking in a well-lit area or completely relying on traditional security measures is, unfortunately, not enough to tackle the tech-minded thieves of today.
However, all hope is not lost, for there is a shining product at the end of this dark tunnel: the SmarTrack Tracker, built specifically for high-end vehicles. This supercar tracker uses advanced GPS technology to track your vehicle’s location in real time, 24/7. If anyone tries to mess with it, you’ll be alerted instantly.
Features That Make SmarTrack Tracker a Must-Have
The SmarTrack Tracker does everything a regular GPS does, but does it better,much like your supercar. It is a tracker “on the juice,” as we’ve heard someone put it. Bold statements aside, let us provide you with a list of features that come with this supercar tracker and what makes it our go-to recommendation for any car that walks through our facility:
- Real-Time Location Updates: The tracker is capable of sending the live location of your car to your smartphone, so you know exactly where your car is located at any time.
- Anti-Tampering: Before trying to steal a vehicle, it is common practice for thieves to either disable or overcharge it or try to disconnect or break the GPS. It monitors the battery voltage level and ignition status as well as its own physical body, so if anyone tries to tamper with it or the car, you’re instantly alerted.
- Insurance Approved: Many insurance companies have approved SmarTrack Tracker. How does that benefit you? Well, it can potentially lower your premium. A safer car and lower premiums? That’s a win-win!
- Theft Alerts: In a worst-case scenario wherein your vehicle does get stolen or perhaps there is any unauthorised movement or tampering, an SOS is sent out to both you and the authorities. This allows for quick and immediate reactions, which can often make all the difference.
- Non-Intrusive Design: Let’s face it, nobody wants the look of their supercar ruined by a tracker. So, the good thing is that this tracker is discreet and usually hidden away, so your car’s aesthetics remain as they are.
- Easy Installation: With the right tools and expertise, it is not impossible to DIY. However, since these high-grade GPS systems integrate into the systems of your car, and supercars are rather complex machines, we do recommend getting them installed from an authorised supercar service centre. Incorrect installation can lead to several complications.
Why Choose a Supercar Tracker Over a Standard Tracker?
Every tracker isn’t created the same, some are more suited for regular vehicles whilst others are a bit more specialised for high-performance or luxury vehicles. Here is how they differ:
| Feature | Normal Tracker | Supercar Tracker |
| GPS Accuracy | Gives an estimated location | Tracks the precise location of a vehicle, accurately up to a couple of meters in all environments (e.g., underground parking) |
| Durability | Basic design, suitable for standard conditions | Built to withstand extreme weather, rough handling, and harsh environments |
| Real-Time Monitoring | Usually does not offer 24/7 monitoring | 24/7 live monitoring with dedicated support teams |
| Integration with Vehicle | Minimal integration, basic alerts | Integrates with the car’s system without hampering performance |
| Installation | Can be done yourself | Tends to require expertise |
Conclusion
Your luxury car is more than just a vehicle; it’s a symbol of success and a source of joy. But with great cars comes great responsibility, including protecting them from theft. A supercar tracker like the SmarTrack Tracker is a game-changer, offering unmatched security, peace of mind, and even potential savings on insurance.
