Monitored recovery trackers for Cardiff drivers, including the high-value vehicles insurers insist on.
Pick a date and secure your slot online in a couple of minutes. Not sure what you need yet? Send us your reg and we’ll price it up.
Cardiff insurers increasingly make a monitored tracker a condition of cover on performance and prestige vehicles. We’ll check what your policy specifies and fit a system that meets it, rather than selling you more or less than you need.
Theft in the city isn’t always about driving the car away — vehicles get lifted onto flatbeds too. A hidden, hardwired tracker with round-the-clock monitoring behind it is what turns that from a total loss into a recovery.
We also cover Llandaff, Whitchurch, Penarth and Radyr, plus the wider Cardiff area. Bring the vehicle to our unit in Treorchy, or book a call-out and we’ll come to you.

Vehicle tracker fitting — common questions
Can I see where my vehicle is myself?
Yes, there’s a smartphone app alongside the monitoring service, so you can check location and set movement alerts. TODO(client): confirm which app and subscription tier is included.
Will a tracker lower my insurance?
Many insurers offer a discount for a Thatcham-recognised tracker, and some high-value vehicles require one. We’ll help you match the right system to your policy — always confirm specifics with your insurer.
Is there a subscription?
Yes — the SmarTrack S5 is £360 fitted, then £14.99 a month. That monthly fee is what pays for the 24/7 secure operating centre that monitors the vehicle and coordinates recovery if it’s stolen; without it the unit is just a GPS box. It’s separate from your booking and isn’t taken when you book online.
What does it cost, all in?
£360 to supply and fit the Thatcham-approved S5, then £14.99 a month for monitoring and recovery. No hidden extras — you can book the fitting online and pay on the day.
How long does it take to fit a tracker?
Around 90 minutes for most vehicles. It is booked as a half-day slot so the unit can be sited properly and hidden rather than put somewhere convenient.
Can I see where my car is on my phone?
Yes — the SmarTrack system has an app alongside the monitoring service, so you can check the vehicle yourself. The monitoring centre is the part that matters in an actual theft, but the app is there day to day.
What happens if the car is stolen?
You contact the monitoring centre, they verify the theft with you and then work directly with the police using the live location from the unit. It runs around the clock. Report it to the police as well — they will need a crime reference number.
Do you fit vehicle trackers near me?
We fit across the Rhondda and South Wales from our unit in Treorchy — including Aberdare, Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Bridgend and Cardiff — and we can come out to the vehicle instead if that is easier.
