Tectus
Dealership security

Every vehicle on the lot is inventory in the open

Dealerships park millions of dollars outside overnight. Tectus coordinates licensed officers and patrols that make your lot the one thieves skip.

The problem

Ten minutes with a flatbed or a saw

Dealership losses come in patterns: key thefts that turn into vehicles driven off at 3 a.m., catalytic-converter crews that hit a row of trucks in minutes, parts stripped off new inventory, and joyriders who leave damage you eat on trade-in. Cameras record all of it beautifully — after it’s over.

An overnight officer or a marked patrol changes the target selection. Crews scope lots before they hit them; the lot with a visible human presence gets skipped.

Coverage patterns

How dealers run coverage

Sized to lot value and local crime patterns:

  • Overnight static post covering the lot and showroom
  • Marked patrol rounds — several passes a night at randomized times
  • Weekend and holiday coverage when the lot sits longest
  • Alarm response so a fence-line sensor gets human verification
  • Event coverage for tent sales and promotion weekends

FAQ

Dealership security questions

Depends on lot value and local pressure. Patrols with randomized passes deter opportunists at lower cost; lots with repeated hits or very high-value inventory usually justify a static overnight post. Price both in the estimator and compare.

Urgent requests are supported — same-night coverage is often achievable in metro areas where officers are available. Call 1-833-2TECTUS for time-sensitive requests.

Yes. Rounds cover whatever your post orders define: front line, service lot, parts storage, and building perimeter.

Many dealers pursue premium credits for documented overnight coverage; shift logs and incident reports give your agent something concrete to work with. Ask your carrier what they recognize.
