F&I provider DOWC introduced an update to its Theft Protection. Trace360 is tailored for franchise dealers and large independent stores, and DOWC says it can improve inventory management, provide essential vehicle data, enhance customer satisfaction, increase revenue, and build customer loyalty.

The recovery solution is designed to safeguard vehicles and lower dealership costs. Available devices include onboard diagnostics, two-wire, and battery-powered options.

Vehicle theft can be expensive, including recovery costs, loss of sensitive paperwork and possessions that can lead to identity theft exposure, and insurance can cover less than expected. Trace360 provides financial assistance if a vehicle is stolen. The monitoring system may provide a detailed overview of information such as gas level, battery charge, and recall data while offering an advanced recovery solution to keep vehicles secure.
