Vehicle Owners

The Retainagroup system is a simple, but highly effective deterrent to vehicle theft
and cloning. The system massively increases:
 The difficulty and risk for a car thief attempting to clone a vehicle.
• The ease with which anyone – police, motor dealers or the general public –
   can establish a vehicle’s true identity.

How the Retainagroup System protects your vehicle in three simple steps

  1. Vehicle windows are etched at factory, Import Centre or Motor dealership with an overtly visible, permanent, unique code and the 24/7 contact telephone number of the International Security Register (ISR). The chassis and other major parts of the vehicle can also be identified using state of the art laser and stencil systems or ultra destruct labels.
  2. Vehicle and owner details are recorded on the secure and confidential database – the ISR.
  3. The 24/7 manned ISR contact line (no answer machines or recorded messages) provides, via the Global Security Gateway, an all year round, immediate verification service for vehicle identity, rightful ownership and Police National Computer stolen vehicle status.

Combating cloning
Retainagroup security codes are highly visible and unique to each vehicle. Unlike VINs or Registration numbers, they are based on arbitrary numbers and letters and therefore cannot provide the would-be cloner with details about the identity of the vehicle or owner.
The system cannot be cracked by the cloner. It is the simplest and most cost-effective way to combat this, the fastest growing type of vehicle crime in the UK.

Value added service
The high level of security offered by the ISR allows other information such as radio codes and wheel nut, alarm, immobiliser and ignition key numbers to be provided without delay to police, franchised motor dealers and other authorised parties, under strict security protocols.
