The most popular new Jeep® SUVs among Virginia Beach shoppers are also some of the most popular — as you might’ve guessed — among car thieves. Whether you’re an owner or lessee of one of the three bestselling Jeep vehicles (the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee, and the 2017 Jeep Wrangler), you may be wondering how to lower your risk. Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Virginia Beach has some advice.
Cars and SUVs are usually stolen for profit, for parts, or for a quick joyride. What it helps to remember is that thieves hate attention, and they don’t like anything that’s going to take them too long to swipe. If you keep that in mind, there are some simple things you can do to help your odds.
The first thing to do is to arm your alarm if your vehicle has one (some trims of the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited do not). Don’t leave your car unlocked, and don’t leave it running. Even if you’re only going to be a couple of minutes, sometimes that’s all it takes. Likewise, don’t keep your valuables (or even anything that looks valuable) out in plain sight. Park in places with high traffic and good lighting. And — perhaps most important — trust your gut if something tells you something’s not right.
Your Virginia Beach Jeep dealer can give you further tips to keep yourself and your vehicle safe. In the event that your SUV is stolen, the Advanced Vehicle Tracking System (optional) can help in its recovery. We encourage you to find out more about the available safety and security features on new Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, and RAM vehicles by visiting Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Virginia Beach at 3152 Virginia Beach Blvd today!
