Importance Of Video Surveillance Systems At Car Dealership Service Bays

If you are an owner or manager in the automotive sales industry, the need to have a surveillance system has increased dramatically.  There are many reasons for car dealerships to have video surveillance; it’s not just for catching thieves trying to steal parts or entire cars, or monitoring employees.  One significant use of such systems is for viewing customers’ vehicles coming in and out the shop for service.

Verifying the condition of a vehicle entering the service bays has already helped many of our clients avoid false claims by customers. Customers have stated that the dealership caused the damage while servicing the vehicle, and the cameras have proven otherwise.

By placing high-resolution IP cameras in the proper locations to view and record vehicles coming and going through the shop, you can solve this problem.  It’s not just a matter of putting up a camera in the shop to view everything.  If designed properly by an experienced integrator, you will have cameras specifically placed to capture different sections of the shop.  We have heard from dealership owners time and time again, “I’m tired of customers telling me this dent or scratch wasn’t on my car before it came into the shop!”

By investing a small amount now with the right firm to design a video surveillance system to meet your needs, you can avoid situations like this and avoid having to pay out hundreds or even thousands in repair work to a customer that came in for a $40.00 oil change.
