Car Dealership Security Services
Professional Security for Car Dealerships & Vehicle Sales Facilities
Car dealerships manage valuable vehicle inventory, busy parking areas, customer traffic, employees, service departments, and after-hours operations. Maintaining a visible and professional security presence can help deter theft, vandalism, unauthorized access, and other security concerns.
AK Security Services provides customized armed and unarmed security services for car dealerships and automotive properties throughout Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
Our security programs are designed around the dealership's layout, operating hours, vehicle inventory, access points, and specific security concerns. Officers can provide a visible presence during business hours, conduct patrols after closing, monitor access points, and document security-related activity.
Car Dealership Security Services We Provide

Security officers can conduct scheduled vehicle lot patrols throughout dealership property. Visible patrols help monitor vehicle inventory, parking areas, entrances, and other designated areas while identifying suspicious activity or potential security concerns.

Vehicle inventory remains on dealership property after the showroom closes. Overnight security can provide a visible presence during hours when dealership employees are not on site, with scheduled patrols and monitoring based on the dealership's needs.

Officers can monitor designated entrances, employee areas, service areas, gates, and other access points. Security procedures can be customized to help control unauthorized access to dealership property.

Security officers can provide a professional presence around employee entrances, customer areas, service departments, and other designated locations. Officers can assist with access procedures and report unusual or unauthorized activity.
- Mobile Security Patrols
Mobile patrols can be scheduled throughout the dealership property to monitor vehicle lots, parking areas, perimeter areas, service facilities, and other locations identified by dealership management.
- Theft & Vandalism Deterrence
A visible security presence and regular patrols can help deter unwanted activity around vehicle inventory and dealership property. Officers remain alert for suspicious behavior, unauthorized persons, damaged property, and other potential security concerns.
- Incident Response & Reporting
When security-related incidents occur, officers can respond according to established post orders and procedures. Electronic incident reporting helps provide dealership management with documentation of security activity and reported incidents.
- Emergency Security Support
Dealerships may experience unexpected situations involving customers, employees, unauthorized persons, property damage, or other security concerns. AK Security Services can provide security support and coordinate with appropriate emergency services when necessary.

Showrooms and entrances
-
Service departments
-
Parts departments

Employee parking

Perimeter areas

Gates and access points
-
Administrative offices

Delivery and receiving areas
AK Security Services can develop post orders and patrol procedures based on the dealership's property layout and operational requirements.
Car Dealership Security Expertise
Car dealerships present unique security challenges because valuable vehicle inventory is often stored outdoors across large properties with multiple entrances, parking areas, service departments, and customer-accessible areas.
AK Security Services provides customized security solutions for car dealerships, auto dealerships, vehicle sales facilities, and automotive properties, including:
1. Vehicle Lot & Inventory Patrols: Security officers can conduct scheduled foot or vehicle patrols throughout dealership inventory areas, customer parking lots, perimeter areas, and other designated locations. A visible patrol presence can help deter theft, vandalism, trespassing, and other unwanted activity.
2. After-Hours & Overnight Dealership Security: Vehicle inventory remains on dealership property long after employees and customers leave. Security officers can provide overnight monitoring and scheduled patrols during hours when dealership staffing and normal activity are reduced.
3. Access Control & Property Monitoring: Dealership properties may contain vehicle entrances, employee areas, service departments, parts departments, administrative offices, gates, and other controlled areas. Officers can monitor designated access points and follow dealership-specific access procedures.
4. Showroom, Service & Customer Area Security: Security needs do not end at the vehicle lot. Officers can maintain a professional presence around showrooms, service departments, customer parking areas, employee entrances, and other locations identified by dealership management.
5. Theft, Vandalism & Suspicious Activity Deterrence: A visible security presence can help discourage unauthorized activity around valuable vehicle inventory. Officers remain alert for suspicious persons, unauthorized vehicles, damaged property, open gates or doors, and other conditions requiring attention or documentation.
6. Perimeter & Parking Area Patrols: Large dealership properties may have extensive perimeter areas and multiple parking locations. Scheduled patrols can include property boundaries, employee parking, customer parking, vehicle storage areas, delivery areas, and other designated locations.
7. Incident Response & Electronic Reporting: When a security-related incident occurs, officers follow established post orders and escalation procedures. Electronic incident reporting provides dealership management with documented information about incidents and security activity.
8. Customized Post Orders & Patrol Procedures: Every dealership operates differently. AK Security Services works with dealership management to establish site-specific patrol routes, patrol frequency, access procedures, after-hours responsibilities, reporting requirements, emergency procedures, and management notification protocols.
9. Technology & Officer Accountability: Depending on the security program, AK Security Services can use GPS-supported patrol verification, digital tour tracking, electronic reporting, and officer communication systems to help verify patrol activity and provide greater accountability.
10. Security Designed Around Your Dealership: Whether your dealership needs overnight vehicle-lot patrols, an on-site security officer, mobile patrols, access control, daytime coverage, or a combination of services, AK Security Services can develop a security program based on the property's operations and specific security concerns.
