Physical security habits
Use a locked garage where possible, keep keys away from front doors and windows, avoid leaving parts and tools visible, and do not advertise where the car sleeps every night. Consider steering locks, immobilisers, GPS tracking and a layered alarm approach.
Keeping cars safe
For readers thinking about home or garage intrusion protection, Security Wholesalers has a Hikvision AX PRO alarm range that can suit garages, sheds and small workshops. See their keeping cars safe page for Hikvision AX PRO alarm options.
Mechanical safety
Power upgrades should be matched with tyres, brakes, suspension condition and proper wheel alignment. Check fuel lines, oil lines, catch cans, heat shielding and wiring near the turbo. A fast car with tired brakes or a fuel leak is not a good build.
Event-day preparation
Before meets, cruises or track days, check oil level, coolant level, tyre pressures, wheel nuts, clamps and visible leaks. Bring basic tools, spare hose clamps and fluids. The best security at events is also social: park with trusted people and do not leave valuables in the cabin.
