If you’ve ever wondered whether LoJack actually works or if it’s just dealer hype, you’re not alone. There’s a lot of noise out there about what LoJack is, what it does, and whether it’s worth the money. In this article, we break down the top LoJack myths and tell you what’s real, what’s not, and what you need to know to actually protect your car from theft.
LoJack Myth 1: “LoJack is a Scam – Dealers Don’t Even Install It”
Here’s the deal: LoJack is supposed to be hidden. That’s the whole point.
Some people think it’s a scam because they can’t find it or see it. But LoJack is professionally installed by certified techs. It’s meant to be invisible — to thieves and even to you. Once installed, your vehicle is registered in a national database tied to your VIN. This means that when your car is reported stolen, police can activate the device and track it in real time.
At VG Motors, every LoJack purchase includes installation by a certified tech — no mystery, no games. You schedule the install, and you’re in the loop every step of the way.
LoJack Pricing at VG Motors
| Product | Service Term | Price (Includes Install) |
|---|---|---|
| LoJack Device | 3 Years | $895 |
| LoJack Device | 5 Years | $1,100 |
| LoJack Device | 7 Years | $1,250 |
| LoJack Bundle (Includes extras) | 3 Years | $1,600 |
| LoJack Bundle (Includes extras) | 5 Years | $1,900 |
| LoJack Bundle (Includes extras) | 7 Years | $2,200 |
If a dealer tells you “LoJack can’t be removed,” they’re bluffing. It’s secure, but a trained pro can uninstall it if needed. That line is just sales pressure — not a technical fact.
Myth 2: “My New Car Has GPS – I Don’t Need LoJack”
Most new cars come with GPS. But GPS alone doesn’t recover your car.
LoJack is the only system directly connected to law enforcement. That means when your vehicle is reported stolen, officers can track it using special LoJack receivers in patrol cars and helicopters.
Key Advantage: LoJack doesn’t rely on you calling the police and then hoping someone passes along GPS info. It kicks into gear the second your report hits the national database.
LoJack vs. Other Systems
| Feature | LoJack | OEM GPS (OnStar, etc.) | Basic GPS Trackers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tracks Hidden Cars | Yes (GPS/Cellular) | Sometimes | Often fails underground |
| Law Enforcement Integration | ✅ Yes | ❌ Not direct | ❌ No |
| Average Recovery Time | 26 Minutes | Unknown | Varies widely |
| Recovery Rate | 98% | Not reported | Low |
| Financial Guarantee | Up to $5,000 | ❌ No | ❌ No |
LoJack now combines GPS and cellular tech. That’s how it tracks cars even in garages, shipping containers, or underground lots — places where GPS alone struggles.
Myth 3: “LoJack Will Drain My Battery”
Old rumor. Not true.
LoJack pulls a tiny bit of power. Not enough to affect your car’s performance or lifespan.
Modern systems also send low battery alerts to your phone. You’ll know before anything becomes a problem.
Bottom line? Battery drain isn’t an issue with current LoJack systems.
Myth 4: “LoJack is Just Another Alarm System”
False.
Alarms make noise. Thieves ignore noise.
LoJack is a stealth recovery system. It doesn’t make a peep. It silently tracks your car and alerts you (and law enforcement) when it’s moved without your key fob.
Plus, LoJack’s Early Warning System sends push notifications if your vehicle is moved without you. No honking. No false alarms. Just action.
Myth 5: “LoJack Tracks Me and Sells My Data”
Nope.
LoJack collects basic data to do its job — vehicle location, VIN, driving alerts. That’s how it offers features like geofencing, trip history, and service reminders.
But LoJack doesn’t sell your personal info. Period. They follow strict privacy laws, and you can request your data or opt out at any time.
Want privacy? Stick with LoJack over many app-based GPS trackers that actually do sell data.
So… Is LoJack Worth It?
Let’s look at the facts:
- 98% Recovery Rate
- 26-Minute Average Recovery Time
- Nationwide Coverage
- $5,000 Recovery Guarantee
- Law Enforcement Connected
- Silent, hidden, and effective
That’s not just security — that’s peace of mind.
