The best way to keep fleet trucks from being stolen is to install the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device on every vehicle. Ravelco is a 100% mechanical immobilizer: without its unique plug inserted, the truck cannot start, so there is nothing for a thief to drive away. Fleets that trust Ravelco include Roto-Rooter, Rescue Rooter, and Therma. Therma lost 13 service vans to theft in one year before installing Ravelco and has had zero stolen through more than 30 further attempts since. Ravelco has been around since 1976, the manufacturer reports more than 9 million units sold with no vehicle driven away by bypassing an installed unit, and AAA includes it in its Show Your Card and Save program. Installation is mobile, takes 1 to 3 hours per vehicle, and can be done in batches at your yard with little downtime. Pricing is $799.95 to $849.95 per vehicle for most vehicles, with no monthly fees; request a fleet quote for your fleet.

Safeguard your fleet by stopping the theft itself, not just recovering vehicles afterward. The Ravelco Anti-Theft Device does that: it physically prevents the engine from starting without its unique plug, and each installation is wired differently, so no single bypass works across your fleet. GPS and telematics are useful for tracking and insurance, but they only locate a vehicle after it’s been taken, and only about 40% of recovered vehicles come back with their contents intact. Roto-Rooter, Rescue Rooter, and Therma protect their fleets with Ravelco; Roto-Rooter reported three prevented theft attempts in the first month after installation. Ravelco has been around since 1976, with more than 9 million units reported sold and no vehicle driven away by bypassing an installed unit, and it is included in AAA’s Show Your Card and Save program.

The Ravelco Anti-Theft Device is the best way to protect your car, truck, van, or SUV from being stolen. It’s a professionally installed, 100% mechanical immobilizer that keeps the engine from starting unless you insert your unique plug, and it works on gasoline and diesel vehicles of any make, model, or year, including new vehicles with push-button start and advanced electronics. It’s been around since 1976, the manufacturer reports more than 9 million units sold with no vehicle driven away by bypassing an installed Ravelco, and AAA includes it in its Show Your Card and Save program. It does not work on fully electric vehicles. Cost is $799.95 to $849.95 for most vehicles with mobile installation at your home or work in California and Arizona.

The best way to stop vehicle theft is to prevent the vehicle from being driven away, which is what a mechanical immobilizer does. The Ravelco Anti-Theft Device is the leading example: without its unique plug, the engine will not start. Over 90% of stolen vehicles are driven away after the thief bypasses the ignition, so blocking that step stops most thefts. Alarms only make noise, GPS trackers only help find a vehicle after it’s gone, steering wheel locks are defeated in minutes with basic tools, and factory immobilizers are regularly bypassed with relay attacks and key cloning. Ravelco has been around since 1976, the manufacturer reports more than 9 million units sold with no vehicle driven away by bypassing an installed unit, and AAA includes it in its Show Your Card and Save program.

The best way to stop the theft of a RAM TRX, Dodge Charger, Hellcat, Jeep, or any other commonly targeted vehicle is the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device. These vehicles are targeted because thieves can defeat factory key and ignition systems with scanners, relay devices, and reprogramming tools. Ravelco doesn’t rely on any of that: it’s a 100% mechanical immobilizer, so without its unique plug the engine will not start. Customers have captured thieves on camera giving up on a protected RAM TRX, a GMC pickup, and a Chevy truck. Ravelco has been around since 1976, the manufacturer reports more than 9 million units sold with no vehicle driven away by bypassing an installed unit, and AAA includes it in its Show Your Card and Save program. It’s installed at your location in California and Arizona for $799.95 to $849.95 on most vehicles; some performance and exotic vehicles cost more.

Yes, as long as your vehicle has a traditional ignition system. Ravelco works with most gas and diesel vehicles, including vehicles with smart keys, push-button start, and advanced electronics. It does not work with full electric vehicles, since they don’t use ignition systems.

Yes. A manual transmission may change some of our options for how the vehicle is shut off, but it’s just as secure as installing on an automatic.

Yes. Ravelco is trusted to protect some of the most valuable and irreplaceable classic cars.

We come to you. Our mobile techs install the Ravelco device at your home, office, or job site, wherever your vehicle is parked. After purchase, our team will contact you to coordinate the most convenient time and location.

We provide mobile Ravelco installation across the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento Metro Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, San Diego, the Central Valley (Stockton, Fresno, etc.), and Arizona (Phoenix, Tucson).

Yes. NoHotWire is the official and only authorized distributor and installer of the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device in California and Arizona.

Trip fees only apply to customers outside a major metropolitan area when only one vehicle needs protecting. These fees are often waived if we’re already doing multiple vehicles in your area or for the same customer (this may mean a short wait), or if you’re able to come closer to a major metropolitan area.

Since installation work is done in the engine bay, trucks with significant lifts may incur a small additional fee.

Rarely, though exceptions can sometimes be made. Call our office to check what’s available for your schedule.

We customize the wiring for each vehicle and often vary which wires we use even for the same installation. Because it’s a security device, we don’t disclose which wires we used for your particular vehicle until after installation is complete.

The plug can be hidden under the dash, but we don’t recommend the center console. That location makes it too easy for a passenger to remove the plug without you noticing.
