Services

OJB Autocare provides the full range of car alarm and immobiliser installation in Sheffield, tailored to your vehicle, your budget, and your insurer's requirements.

  • The gold standard of aftermarket car security. A Cat 1 system combines a full alarm — including perimeter, interior, and shock sensors — with electronic immobilisation. It is the most widely accepted system by UK insurers and provides the highest level of deterrence for most vehicles.

  • A standalone electronic immobiliser that prevents the engine from starting without the correct authorisation signal. Ideal for vehicles that already have a factory alarm but lack effective immobilisation, or as a supplementary layer of protection.

  • One of the most effective responses to the relay attack epidemic. A ghost immobiliser is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and requires the driver to enter a silent PIN sequence — using existing buttons on the steering wheel or dashboard — before the car will start. There is nothing for a criminal to find, remove, or bypass. Widely accepted by specialist and mainstream insurers alike.

  • Where a stolen vehicle needs to be recoverable as well as protected, we fit GPS tracking devices alongside security systems. Subscription-based tracker services provide 24-hour monitoring and have strong recovery rates when activated quickly.

Why Vehicle Security Matters

in Sheffield

Vehicle crime remains a concern across South Yorkshire, with increasingly sophisticated theft methods such as relay attacks—where thieves clone keyless entry signals—now common. Cars with keyless systems, especially those made after 2015, are particularly vulnerable without added protection. In areas like Hillsborough, Walkley, and Woodseats, even everyday vehicles are regularly targeted, not just high-end models. Installing a proper security system significantly reduces your risk, as thieves often avoid well-protected cars. There’s also a financial benefit, as many insurers offer lower premiums for vehicles fitted with approved security systems, helping offset the cost while providing long-term peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In most cases, no. A professionally installed aftermarket car security system, fitted by a qualified auto electrician using correct wiring methods, should not affect your manufacturer's warranty. We can advise on your specific vehicle before any work is carried out.

  • Most mainstream UK insurers require Thatcham-approved products — specifically Category 1 or Category 2 ratings. We only supply and fit insurance-approved vehicle security systems, and we can check your insurer's specific requirements before recommending a product.

  • It is strongly worth considering. Relay attacks are now among the most common methods used by car thieves in the UK, and keyless entry vehicles are directly targeted. A ghost or OBD immobiliser effectively blocks this type of attack by requiring a PIN sequence that criminals cannot replicate, even if they intercept your key signal.

  • A standard alarm or immobiliser installation typically takes between two and four hours. More complex packages involving multiple systems, tracker integration, or ECU coding may take a full day. We will give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
