Frequently Asked Questions
An immobiliser is an electronic security device that prevents the engine from starting unless the correct key or authentication method is used. All new vehicles sold in the UK since 1998 must be fitted with a factory immobiliser, but the security level varies significantly between models.
A ghost immobiliser is a covert aftermarket device that requires the driver to enter a unique PIN code — using buttons already on the vehicle such as the steering wheel or door panels — before the engine will start. This provides a strong additional layer of security that cannot be defeated by relay attacks or key cloning.
Yes — fitting an approved immobiliser can reduce your insurance premium. Many high-value and high-risk vehicles are required to have a Thatcham-approved security device fitted as a condition of insurance. We recommend checking with your insurer before booking.
A faulty factory immobiliser can prevent your vehicle from starting even with the correct key. We use professional diagnostic equipment to investigate immobiliser faults and can carry out repairs or resets as required. Call us on 07386 503381 if your vehicle will not start and you suspect an immobiliser issue.
