Love your new car? Track it with Matrix
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of owning a brand new car – the fresh smell, the smooth ride, and the pride that comes with it. Whether it’s your first vehicle or an upgrade, your new car represents a significant investment and a new chapter in your life. However, with that excitement comes the responsibility of keeping it safe. In South Africa, statistics from Arrive Alive reveal that approximately 66 cars are stolen every day. This makes securing your vehicle with a reliable tracking system crucial. That’s where Matrix comes in, offering the peace of mind you need to enjoy your new ride without worry.
The reality of car theft in South Africa
Data from the South African Police Service revealed that in the second quarter of 2024 alone, 8,611 cars and motorcycles were stolen across South Africa, with 4,529 of these thefts occurring in Gauteng, the car theft capital of the country. This accounts for over 50% of all car theft in South Africa, highlighting the need for strong vehicle protection. Popular models targeted by thieves include the VW Polo, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Hilux, making it crucial for new car owners to take proactive steps in securing their vehicles.
Imagine a family that just purchased a new SUV, excited to hit the road, only to find out that their area has seen a recent rise in thefts. With Matrix, that worry can be eased. Our best-in-class vehicle tracking has helped thousands of drivers recover their vehicles quickly, often within hours of being reported stolen.
Why vehicle tracking is essential
While your new car likely has great safety features, they often aren’t enough to stop determined thieves. Alarms and immobilisers can help, but a vehicle tracking system adds an extra layer of security. It gives you real-time knowledge of your car’s location and ensures quick recovery if it’s ever stolen.
