By recovering your car quickly with LoJack, you can avoid this expense and loss of time. Plus, you may be able to save on insurance - check with your agent for details.
LoJack provides two products to help protect your car: the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System and the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System.
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System gives you a 90 percent chance of recovering your car quickly and with less damage. When your car is stolen, a tiny transmitter hidden deep within the vehicle tells the police exactly where your car is located so they can track it and recover it - many times within an hour. The LoJack transmitter's Radio Frequency signal is so strong it can penetrate through garage walls, steel containers, dense foliage and other places thieves may try to hide your vehicle.
- The only stolen vehicle recovery system operated by the police
- A recovery rate of 90%
- More than 100,000 LoJack-equipped vehicles have been recovered to date in the U.S., and more than 250,000 worldwide
- Most cars are recovered in less than 24 hours, and often within just a few hours
The LoJack Early Warning Recovery System provides an added layer of protection for your car. The LoJack Early Warning Recovery System notifies you directly if your car is moved without your authorization. LoJack will alert you by phone, e-mail and/or pager so you can quickly check on the status of your vehicle. If a theft has occurred, the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System enables the police to track and recover your vehicle even sooner.
- Get alerts at work, at home or on the road
- Choose up to five methods of contact, including phone, e-mail and text message
- 1) Installation
- LoJack is a small, silent Radio Transceiver that is hidden in your vehicle by a certified LoJack technician. Once installed, the Unit is automatically registered in the LoJack Database, which interfaces with the National Crime Information Computer (NCIC) system used by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
- 2) Notification*
- In the event of a theft, you report the incident to the police, who make a routine entry into the state police crime computer, resulting in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This process automatically triggers the activation of the LoJack Unit in your vehicle.
- 3) Activation
- Once your theft is reported to police, law enforcement computers send a signal via the LoJack Radio Tower Network to activate the LoJack in vehicle. When activated, the LoJack Unit begins emitting an inaudible signal that can be tracked by police cars and aviation units that are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers.
- 4) Tracking
- The LoJack Police Tracking Computer receives the LoJack Signal and leads the police to your stolen vehicle. Unlike GPS systems, which require line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, LoJack's patented Radio Frequency Signal can penetrate forest cover, parking garages and many other obstructions, helping ensure the vehicle will be located by police, regardless of where thieves may be hiding it.
- 5) Recovery
- Once your vehicle is tracked and recovered, you will be notified by police. LoJack boasts a 90-percent recovery rate nationally, with most recoveries completed within hours.
*Note: If you have the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System, you will be notified directly via phone, email, and/or pager if your car is moved without your authorization so you can quickly check on your vehicle. if a theft has occured, the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System enables police to track and return your vehicle sooner.
- What is LoJack and how does it work?
- LoJack is a Stolen Vehicle Recovery System that allows police to track and recover your stolen vehicle. A LoJack Unit is hidden in your vehicle by a certified technician and is registered in the LoJack database. When you file a stolen vehicle report with the police, police computers send a silent radio signal to your car, automatically activating the hidden LoJack transmitter in your vehicle. Police can then track the signal and locate the vehicle.
- Is my LoJack always "on"?
- Your LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is always in receiving mode, ready to be activated by a silent signal from police computers.
- How do I know if my LoJack is working?
- Your LoJack is tested and certified at the time of installation. We then recommend an inspection of your LoJack every two years. Inspections cost $79* and can be arranged by calling 1-800-4-LOJACK (1-800-456-5225).
- What do I do if I believe my LoJack requires service?
- Call us at 1-800-4-LOJACK (1-800-456-5225) to schedule an inspection of your LoJack or to talk to a Customer Service Representative who can answer any questions you may have. For faster assistance, please make sure you have your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at the time of the call. Your VIN number is located on your LoJack I.D. card or your vehicle registration.
- Does my car need to be running for LoJack to work?
- No. The LoJack Unit constantly draws a very small amount of power from your vehicle's battery. Should your battery be disconnected, LoJack's backup battery will provide power.
- What should I do if my vehicle is stolen?
- If your vehicle is stolen, report the theft immediately to the police in the town or city where it was stolen. Once you've completed a stolen vehicle report, the police will automatically activate the LoJack Unit in your vehicle. After you contact the police, call a LoJack Customer Service Representative at 1-800-4-LOJACK (1-800-456-5225). LoJack will provide you with information on insurance company reporting requirements that will save you time. In addition, they can help you with the documentation requirements for filing a claim for any warranties that you are entitled to.
If you purchased an Extended Recovery Warranty and you need to file a claim, please call 1-800-4-LoJack (1-800-456-5225).
If you purchased a Guarantee Plus 5000, a Protection Plus 5000 or a Motorcycle Recovery Plus 5000, and your vehicle was stolen and not recovered within 30 days, or recovered but deemed a total loss, please refer to your original policy for the appropriate contact information of your administrator. If you do not have your original paperwork, please call 1-800-4-LoJack (1-800-456-5225) and a LoJack Customer Service Representative can assist you further.
- What should I do if my vehicle is involved in an accident?
- If your vehicle sustains damage as a result of an accident, you should call us at 1-800-4-LOJACK (1-800-456-5225) to schedule an inspection for your LoJack. This inspection is required in order to maintain your warranty coverage and to ensure your LoJack is in working condition.
- What happens when I sell my vehicle? Can I transfer my LoJack to my new vehicle?
- Your LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is not transferable from one vehicle to another as the serial number on your LoJack Unit is registered to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your vehicle. However, LoJack may enhance your vehicle's resale value.
- Will my insurance company offer me a discount if I have LoJack?
- Many insurance companies offer a discount to LoJack owners. In fact, some insurance companies offer up to 35 percent off the comprehensive portion of your insurance premium for equipping your vehicle with LoJack and an alarm. Call your insurance agent to see if you qualify for a discount.
- Can car thieves find my LoJack and beat the system?
- The LoJack Unit is very small–about the size of a deck of cards–so it can be hidden in as many as 20 to 30 different places in your vehicle. This makes it very difficult for thieves to find your LoJack.
- Why is there no exterior marking on the vehicle stating it has LoJack? Wouldn't a LoJack sticker act as a theft deterrent?
- LoJack is not designed to be a deterrent. One of the major benefits of the System is that LoJack is covert, thus a thief does not know whether or not your vehicle is equipped with LoJack. This increases the likelihood of rapid recovery and minimal damage.
- Is LoJack easy to use?
- LoJack is very easy to use. If your vehicle is stolen, report the theft immediately to the police in the town or city where it was stolen. The police will automatically activate the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System in your vehicle. After you contact the police, call a LoJack Customer Service Representative at 1-800-4-LOJACK (800-456-5225) who will provide you with information on insurance company reporting requirements that could save you time.
- How is LoJack different from other systems?
- LoJack is the only Stolen Vehicle Recovery System operated by police. It is based on wireless Radio Frequency technology. From ground or air, police can track the silent signal from your LoJack whether it is in a garage, an underground parking facility, or in a warehouse. This differs from most GPS-based tracking systems, which require direct line-of-sight to the sky.
- Is LoJack a high-end alarm system?
- LoJack is not an alarm system. Alarms work as theft deterrents but do not provide a way for your stolen vehicle to be tracked and recovered.
- Are there different LoJack systems?
- LoJack products include the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System, which allows police to track and recover your vehicle after you report it stolen, and the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System, which is an additional layer of protection on top of the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System. Early Warning automatically contacts you if your car has been moved without your permission.
- Who installs LoJack?
- LoJack is installed by certified LoJack technicians, and can be installed at the dealership, or at your home or office.
- Will I save on insurance?
- It depends upon your specific policy and riders. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts on a portion of vehicle insurance. Contact your carrier for details.

Increases Safety
- In 7 million miles of truck tire testing, nitrogen inflated tires lasted longer.
- Tire failures were reduced by 50%
- Tread life was increased by 25-30%
Improves Performance
Nitrogen in Tires:
- Improves steering
- Improves handling
- Improves braking
- Reduces chance of tire failure
Saves Time, Money, and Tires
Nitrogen in Tires:
- Dramatically slows pressure loss from permeation
- Improves fuel economy
- Reduces tire oxidation
- Eliminates interior wheel corrosion
- Reduces running temperatures
- Decreases false alarms and activation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
Nitrogen vs. Oxygen
Oxygen leaks out of tires faster. Nitrogen maintains tire pressure longer than oxygen. The oxygen molecules in compressed air are smaller and leak out three to four times faster. NitroFill™ generators filter the air we breathe through technically advanced membrane fibers to separate it from oxygen and water vapor.
Nitrogen is no longer prohibitively expensive to produce.
- In the past, equipment to produce nitrogen was large and expensive
- Using the latest Pneumatech technology, NitroFill™ generators produce nitrogen from the air we breathe using compressed air.
- NitroFill™ generators are simple to install, safe and cost effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why Inflate with NitroFill™?
- Compressed air is your tire’s worst enemy. Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Nitrogen is inert, non combustible and non corrosive. Oxygen, on the other hand, is immensely destructive to rubber and other tire materials. As soon as a tire is manufactured and exposed to air, the effects of “oxidation” begin to deteriorate the rubber. Over time it loses its elasticity and strength, just like an old rubber band you’ve probably found around your home. This same process occurs in tires inflated with air as the oxygen attacks the rubber molecules, working from the inside out, until the oxygen, and its destructive properties, permeates the tire structure and ultimately the tread.
- Is All Nitrogen Gas Equal?
- No, the purity of nitrogen available from nitrogen generators generally ranges from 95% (low purity) to 99.9% (high purity). NitroFill™ generators can produce nitrogen in excess of 99.9% purity and provide the procedures to guarantee a minimum of 95% purity in the serviced tire, which is the minimum allowable purity that must be maintained in the tire to enjoy the benefits that nitrogen provides. Few generator manufacturers currently discuss this mandatory 95% threshold, as few are able to consistently provide the required purity to achieve it. But, as the market matures, your customer WILL learn –so don’t take chances with their safety or your reputation– fill them with NitroFill™ !
- My Tires are Low! Now What?
- Low tire pressure is generally due to one of the following three conditions:
- 1. A leak. Most tire leaks are the result of a hole or puncture, faulty valve, or a porous or corroded wheel.
- 2. Permeation. Permeation is the normal process by which the air in a tire bleeds through the tire’s body or carcass. It is typical for an "air" filled tire to lose 1-2 psi of pressure every month through normal permeation whereas it can take several months for a NitroFilled tire to lose a single pound of pressure.
- 3. Temperature Change. All gases expand and contract with temperature. If you live in an area that experiences dramatic temperature changes, you will have to adjust your tire pressure accordingly. Typically you will only have to adjust your tire pressure "up", adding pressure as ambient temperatures decrease. Count on losing about 2% of your total tire pressure for every 10 degrees in temperature reduction.
- Participating NitroFill™ dealers will always check and correct your tire pressure with NitroFill™ for free during your membership period, and we recommend you have this done every 30 days if possible, or as often as your schedule permits. If you have NitroFill™ in your tires and do not have a leak, you should experience little or no pressure loss from permeation, but may still see pressure loss from seasonal temperature changes. While it is best to visit your NitroFill™ dealer for a free top off, it is fine to correct your tire pressure with regular compressed air for these normal and minor events without diminishing the benefits of NitroFill nitrogen filled tires.
If you have a "flat" tire or a situation where most or all of the nitrogen in your tire has been lost, you can also fill it with regular air if necessary, but we encourage you to visit your NitroFill™ dealer as soon as possible to have the tire(s) purged and refilled with NitroFill™ so you can continue to enjoy the benefits this product provides.
If you are a member of the NitroFill™ Auto Club most flat tires caused from road hazards, including tires damaged beyond repair, are covered, as is roadside assistance if your flat or damaged tire has left you stranded.
- Will NitroFill™ improve the performance of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my vehicle?
- Yes. NitroFill™ will help maintain proper inflation in your tires and reduce the number of faults detected by the TPMS.
- Do I still need to check tire pressure?
- Yes. But, you will find the tire pressure to be more consistent, even during dramatic temperature changes.
- Should I put NitroFill™ in my spare tire?
- Absolutely! Your spare tire is the most neglected tire on your vehicle, and if you need it you certainly want it to be fully inflated. Because NitroFill™ dramatically slows the normal loss of pressure through permeation, your spare tire will hold its proper pressure over a much longer period of time than if it was filled with regular air.
- Is NitroFill™ compatible with my internal tire balancing product [powder, beads, fluid]?
- Absolutely, in fact, you couldn't find a better operating environment for an internal tire balancing product than a tire filled with NitroFill™ , due to its dry, inert qualities.
- Is nitrogen a safety hazard?
- No. Nitrogen is an inert, noncombustible, nonflammable, non-corrosive gas. In fact, those are big reasons why nitrogen is used to fill the tires of vehicles that push performance limits under extreme conditions, including Formula One racers and heavy machinery.
