Safety & legal note on engine immobilisation

Controlled engine immobilisation is offered only where it is legal and safe, and is designed never to be used while a vehicle is in motion. Our team explains safe use during installation, and recovery should always involve the police or emergency services rather than confronting anyone.

How it works

How vehicle tracking works with TrailMyCar

1

Book and install

Choose vehicle tracking and a trained technician fits a concealed GPS device, usually in about two hours.

2

Go live

The device connects to the mobile network and your vehicle appears on your secure web and mobile dashboard.

3

Set your alerts

Mark safe zones, set a speed limit and choose which alerts you want by app, SMS or email.

4

Track and recover

Watch live location and history any time; if the car is stolen we support recovery with the police using live data.

Overview

Understanding vehicle tracking

Vehicle tracking puts a small GPS device in your car that continuously reports where it is, how fast it is moving and whether anyone has tampered with it. From your phone or computer you see the vehicle on a live map, replay past journeys, and receive instant alerts the moment something looks wrong — long before you would notice it yourself.

For most owners the value is simple: peace of mind and a real chance of recovery if the worst happens. If your car is moved without permission, driven outside an area you have marked, or has its power disconnected, TrailMyCar notifies you straight away and our support team helps you and the police locate it using live position data.

Beyond security, the same platform keeps a complete history of every trip — useful for family cars, company vehicles, and anyone who wants accurate mileage records, wants to monitor how a car is driven, or simply always wants to know where it is. Everything is fitted and tested by trained technicians and works across SMS, GPRS, web and mobile.
