Car immobiliser Manchester
LockCAR is a UK immobiliser maker, and our approved installers fit across Greater Manchester, from the city centre to Stockport, Oldham and Wigan. The engine stays blocked until you disarm it, so a relayed or newly programmed key does not get the car moving.
- All M postcodes
- Cars and vans
- From £249 fitted

How cars and vans are taken without the key
All four get past the factory immobiliser, because it trusts the key signal.
- Relay attack
- The signal of a keyless key inside the house is picked up at the door and repeated at the car, which opens and starts.
- Key programming
- Once inside, a tool in the diagnostic port adds a new key. Vans and older cars are often taken this way.
- Taken for the tools
- Trade vans parked overnight are stolen for what is in the back as much as for the van.
- CAN injection
- Some thieves connect to the wiring behind a headlight and send the car the messages a genuine key would.

How fitting works

On WhatsApp, or check your car first with the Vehicle CHECK.
Fitting at your address
A LockCAR approved installer fits the immobiliser out of sight, at home, at work or at an installation centre.
Pair and drive
Your TAG, ring, watch or PIN is paired and you see how it works before the installer leaves.
Running vans or a fleet in Manchester?
For five or more vehicles, the LFM Fleet Monitoring Platform shows every vehicle on a live map, sends alerts when a van moves outside working hours or leaves a set area, and reports harsh braking, rapid acceleration, speeding and idling. On vehicles with a compatible LockCAR 4G dashcam system you can also immobilise remotely and see the live camera. Fleet pricing is on request.
Questions from Manchester drivers
Do you cover Salford, Trafford and Stockport?
Yes. LockCAR approved installers cover all M postcodes and the neighbouring OL, SK, BL, WN and WA areas, including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton and Wigan.
How is this different from my factory immobiliser?
The factory immobiliser accepts a relayed or newly programmed key. The LockCAR immobiliser is a second, separate check that keeps the engine blocked until it gets your TAG, ring, watch or PIN.
How much does it cost?
The TAG version costs £249 fitted and the PIN version £299 fitted. Kits start at £139, and there is no subscription.
Can you fit a van?
Yes. LockCAR immobilisers work on 12 V and 24 V vehicles, including Transit, Sprinter and other trade vans.
Is LockCAR Thatcham approved?
Not yet. Our immobilisers are going through Thatcham Security Certification.
