Reducing Crime by up to

Learn More

For most businesses, leaving thousands of dollars of company assets sitting in the parking lot would be unthinkable, but for collision centers, that's just the nature of the business. Collision centers are responsible for repairing and restoring vehicles, often dealing with high-value parts and equipment. These centers face significant challenges, especially when vehicles and expensive tools are left on-site overnight.

Protecting your inventory is critical. Nearly 700,000 vehicles are stolen annually in the US, with 4 out of 10 car thefts occurring at auto lots.

LotGuard provides a complete surveillance and security solution specifically designed to put a stop to auto crime.

Security Cameras for Collision Centers

As a collision center owner or manager, one of your top priorities is protecting your facility, equipment, and customer vehicles from theft, vandalism, and other criminal activity, such as catalytic converter theft.

Incidents of theft and property damage at collision repair facilities continue to increase. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, vehicle thefts from automotive businesses rose by nearly 30% between 2019 and 2021, making effective security more important than ever.

LotGuard’s surveillance units are specifically designed to reduce automotive-related crimes and provide a visible deterrent that keeps your facility secure. Each unit can be rapidly deployed at your collision center or vehicle storage area, providing instant, reliable protection.

Our surveillance cameras are supported by a fully managed monitoring service that includes installation, connectivity, maintenance, and real-time video monitoring. This proactive approach helps prevent costly losses and ensures your vehicles, tools, and property remain secure 24/7.

LotGuard delivers peace of mind for collision centers looking for flexible, high-performance security solutions.

Flexible Rental Options

Surveillance Camera Rental for Collision Centers

Installing a video surveillance system is one of the most effective ways to protect your collision center from theft, vandalism, and property damage.

LotGuard’s mobile surveillance trailers provide a strong, visible deterrent that helps stop criminal activity before it occurs. These systems safeguard customer vehicles, tools, and equipment while maintaining safety across your entire facility.

However, purchasing surveillance equipment can be expensive, and staying current with the latest technology adds additional costs. Many collision repair facilities also face temporary or changing security needs, making ownership less practical.

LotGuard’s rental options offer the flexibility to hire surveillance equipment when you need it most. Whether you are protecting overflow vehicle storage, managing short-term projects, or securing outdoor workspaces, our rental solutions allow you to scale your security coverage without major upfront investment.

With LotGuard rentals, you can:

  • Access the latest surveillance technology without purchasing equipment

  • Deploy mobile security trailers quickly for instant protection

  • Adjust your security footprint as your operations change

LotGuard provides affordable, reliable, and adaptable security options for collision centers that need effective protection with minimal long-term commitment.

Case Study

Lithia Motors x LotGuard

Lithia Motors, Inc. is one of the largest automotive retailers in the United States and their dealership had faced significant security challenges, including issues with homeless individuals loitering on the property, vandalism, and vehicle break-ins.

These security concerns not only posed a threat to their valuable inventory but also affected the overall sense of safety and comfort for their customers and employees.

Due to the profile of their locations, they lacked the facilities for a permanent power supply, so they required a surveillance or security system that could operate independently of mains power.
