Any brand enthusiast knows that new Dodge vehicles are especially designed to keep you safe. But can you keep your Dodge auto safe in return?
With this seemingly odd question, Goss Dodge Chrysler is alluding to the fact that two Dodge models ended up on the "Top 10 Stolen Cars" list for last year. Every year, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) puts forth a list detailing which autos are most likely to be illegally swiped from their owners.
Not exactly the most uplifting study in the books, we know...
However, Goss Dodge Chrysler can see why the 2000 Dodge Caravan and 2004 Dodge full-size pickup truck would make the list. Everyone wants to get their hands on a venerable Dodge auto. Unfortunately, that includes criminals.
Of course, we relay this information not to cause Dodge owners in the Burlington area to panic. Rather we'd like to pass on a few tips that can help keep your beloved auto in its rightful place.
- Keep it locked. As obvious as this tip might seem, it's vital to keep all doors locked at all times; even if you'll only be stepping away for a few moments. What's more, the NICB encourages drivers to invest in steering wheel locks.
- Ring the alarm. Many auto service locations, such as the car service and maintenance department at Goss Dodge Chrysler can help install an alarm that will sound when your Dodge vehicle is opened without a key.
- Keep a close eye. Tracking devices are a great way to help you keep an eye on your auto at all times. Many even connect to the police.
