Process

Protect your
lot fast.

From a single used-car lot to a multi-rooftop auto group, book the dealership security coverage you need and get vetted officers patrolling the inventory quickly.

(01)

Tell us about your dealership

Share your lot layout, showroom and service-bay hours, and what's keeping you up at night. Open-lot inventory after close, catalytic-converter and wheel theft, vandalism, test-drive risk, or showroom traffic during a sales event. We build a security plan around your rooftop, not a generic template.

(02)

Match with vetted local agencies

We connect you with independently licensed security agencies near your store and let you compare qualified options in one place. Choose uniformed lot patrol, a static showroom post, marked-vehicle perimeter checks, or overnight foot patrol. Every officer placed is licensed in your state, background-checked, and experienced with automotive retail.

(03)

Run every rooftop from one dashboard

Operate multiple stores or a full auto group? Track officers on each lot in real time, review automated patrol and incident reports, log inventory checks, and handle billing across every location from one Calvis dashboard.

Included

Everything
you need.

Every auto dealership security booking through Calvis includes these features as standard.

Lot & inventory patrol

Officers walk and verify the open lot, deter joyriders and inventory theft, and check that vehicles, keys, and dealer plates are secured at close.

Catalytic-converter & parts theft deterrence

Visible overnight patrol of high-target rows protects against catalytic-converter, wheel, and battery theft that hits dealership lots hardest after hours.

After-hours & overnight coverage

Marked-vehicle perimeter checks and foot patrol during the hours your lot sits unattended, when break-ins, vandalism, and fence cuts are most likely.

Showroom & customer safety

Guards manage showroom and service-lane traffic, de-escalate disputes, and keep customers and sales staff safe without disrupting the buying experience.

Test-drive & access screening

Officers help verify customers before test drives, watch unaccompanied vehicles, and control access to the service bays, parts room, and key cabinet.

Licensed & insured guards

Every officer is licensed in your state through an agency we vet, background-checked, insured, and experienced in automotive retail environments.

Same-day deployment

Hit by a theft spree or staffing a weekend tent sale? Our multi-agency network can get officers on the lot the same day in most markets.

Event or ongoing coverage

Scale up for a manufacturer launch, holiday sales event, or inventory surge, then back down, or set ongoing recurring patrol for nightly lot protection.

FAQ

Common
questions

Auto dealership security covers open-lot inventory protection, after-hours and overnight patrol, catalytic-converter and parts theft deterrence, vandalism and break-in prevention, showroom and service-lane customer safety, test-drive and access screening, and incident response for new and used car lots. Calvis matches you with licensed local agencies that handle all of these for automotive retail.

Most dealership losses happen on the open lot after close, when catalytic converters, wheels, batteries, dealer plates, and even whole vehicles are taken. Calvis-matched officers run marked-vehicle perimeter checks and foot patrol of high-target rows, verify that keys and vehicles are secured, and document each pass with patrol reports so you have a record. Visible, consistent patrol is the most effective deterrent for an unfenced or partially fenced lot.

Most car dealerships use unarmed officers for lot patrol, showroom posts, and overnight coverage, which is sufficient for deterrence and incident reporting. Armed officers are available where your location, after-hours cash handling, or local crime picture warrants it. We'll recommend the right level during setup and match you with an agency licensed for it in your state.

Unarmed dealership security officers typically range from $25 to $45 per hour depending on location, hours, lot size, and whether you need overnight patrol or a static showroom post. Recurring nightly coverage and multi-rooftop contracts usually earn preferred rates. Pricing is transparent and shown upfront with no booking fees.

Yes. Calvis is built for multi-rooftop dealers and auto groups. Coordinate consistent security standards, track officers on each lot, review patrol and incident reports, and manage billing across every store from a single dashboard, even when each location is staffed by a different local agency.

Same-day deployment is available in most markets. Whether you're responding to a string of overnight converter thefts or staffing a weekend tent sale or manufacturer launch event, our multi-agency network can get licensed officers on the lot fast.

Calvis is a marketplace, so we don't employ the guards or hold the license ourselves. We vet and match independently licensed local agencies, and every officer placed on your lot is licensed in their state through that agency, background-checked, and insured. We verify each agency's licensing before deployment so you can compare qualified options in one place.

Yes. High-traffic events like weekend sales, tent sales, and manufacturer launches bring crowds, off-site inventory, and overnight setups that need coverage. Officers manage parking and crowd flow, watch staged inventory and remote lots, secure the showroom overnight, and scale back down once the event ends, with no long-term commitment required.
