Car Dealership Security in Scranton & Wilkes-Barre | Tri State Security Solutions

Tri State Security Solutions, Inc. provides professional car dealership security guard services throughout the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Automobile dealerships are high-value targets that require specialized security due to their expensive inventory, large open lots, and constant public access. Our experienced security officers help protect vehicles, parts, tools, buildings, and staff while maintaining a professional and welcoming environment for customers.

Car dealerships face unique risks including vehicle theft, parts and accessory theft, vandalism, test drive fraud, after-hours break-ins, and liability incidents. A single stolen vehicle or major vandalism event can result in tens of thousands of dollars in losses. As a locally owned and operated security company, Tri State Security Solutions understands the specific challenges dealerships face in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre region and delivers tailored, cost-effective security solutions.

Why Car Dealerships Need Professional Security Guards

Modern car dealerships are open during the day with heavy customer traffic and vulnerable at night with millions of dollars in inventory sitting on the lot. Professional security guards serve as both a strong visual deterrent and a rapid response team. They help prevent theft, reduce insurance premiums, minimize liability, and provide peace of mind for dealership owners and managers.

Tri State Security Solutions carefully selects officers for automotive assignments. All candidates undergo rigorous screening, including criminal background checks, DMV records, and additional clearances as required. We pay our officers above industry standards and equip them with full professional uniforms and gear, allowing us to attract and retain high-quality personnel who understand the fast-paced nature of dealership operations.

Our Car Dealership Security Services Include:

• Lot & Perimeter Patrols — Regular mobile and foot patrols of vehicle display areas, service departments, and perimeter fencing to deter theft and vandalism.
• Showroom & Interior Security — Professional officers who monitor customer traffic, protect high-value models on display, and assist with access control.
• After-Hours & Overnight Coverage — Dedicated security during the highest risk periods when most dealership thefts occur.
• Test Drive & Key Control Management — Monitoring and verification of test drive procedures to prevent fraud and unauthorized use of vehicles.
