WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF RAVELCO?
The bottom line is this: the manufacturer, based in Texas,
does little to no advertising. Ravelco has been a successful
business for 30 years on the strength of the product,
the articles written about it, and the word of mouth from
satisfied customers. Ravelco is a family owned business that
is not looking to grow into a large company with a large
advertising budget to maintain. They have been making the
Ravelco Anti-Theft Device for 30 years which works
just as well in today's vehicles, as in older ones.
WHY WOULD I NEED A RAVELCO?
MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAS A FACTORY ALARM.
Conventional wisdom says — and research shows, that car
alarms don't prevent car theft. According to the non-profit
Highway Loss Data Institute, which surveyed insurance-claims
data from 73 million vehicles nationwide in 1997, cars with
alarms show no overall reduction in theft losses compared to
cars without alarms. Ask yourself this: When you hear a car
alarm siren, do you think someone is breaking into the car,
or do you think it's a false alarm? Most people think the
sounds of car alarms are false alarms, because most of the
time, they are.
THE CAR SALESPEOPLE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAS A
FACTORY ANTI-THEFT DEVICE BUILT INTO ITS IGNITION KEY. IS
THIS ENOUGH TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BEING STOLEN?
Transponder-based anti-theft systems are installed on almost
all new General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Toyota vehicles,
at no charge. They feature a computer chip embedded in the
ignition key, which emits a signal to the vehicle's computer
system in the steering column to identify the "real"
ignition key and allow the vehicle to start. These systems
are easy to beat and bypass modules are readily available
via the internet. (click here to see one ad!)
MY CAR SALESMAN SAID IF I INSTALLED ANY AFTERMARKET
EQUIPMENT ON MY VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE FACTORY EQUIPMENT, IT
WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. IS THIS TRUE?
No, this is not true. A Federal Law (Magnuson - Moss Act)
protects you against a car dealer voiding your warranty. Car
dealers install non-factory car alarms and high end
audio-visual systems in cars everyday. A Ravelco Anti-Theft
Device is no different. Some car dealers will tell you that
aftermarket equipment will void your warranty in order to
convince you to buy products they profit from selling. It is
against the law for dealers to void your new car warranty
for installing aftermarket equipment.
WHAT GUARANTEES DO YOU PROVIDE REGARDING THE QUALITY OF
THE RAVELCO INSTALLATION?
We are so confident in the quality of the Ravelco Anti-Theft
Device and our installation that we offer a Lifetime
Warranty for the original owner. All connections are either
soldered, or are crimped with a copper connector, then
covered in a marine quality adhesive heat shrink to insure
the best possible connection. Connections made this way are
often stronger than the original wire. All wires are look
exactly like factory wiring. We've installed Ravelcos in
everything from 1965 Mustangs, to Ferraris and Porsches and
each install is done with the highest quality parts and
workmanship.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOSE MY RAVELCO PLUG?
The Ravelco Anti-Theft Device comes with two plugs, so that
you have a spare as a back-up. Additional plugs may be
ordered and generally can be shipped to customers right
away.
WHY DOESN'T THE RAVELCO HAVE A "RED FLASHING LIGHT" TO
HELP WARD OFF THIEVES?
Auto thieves are not timid, and a red flashing light does
absolutely nothing to prevent auto theft or break ins. Many
vehicles with full-blown alarm systems and red flashing
warning lights are stolen each day, which proves that the
only red lights that car thieves run from are the ones on
top of police cars. The Ravelco system includes two warning
labels that attach to each side window.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A TOW TRUCK TRIES TO STEAL MY VEHICLE?
If you follow these 2 simple steps when you leave your
vehicle, they can't:
1.) When you park your car, turn your wheels all the way to
the left or right.
2.) Remove the Ravelco plug.
In the event a tow truck tries to steal your vehicle, the
angle of the wheels will make your vehicle track in a big
circle. This attracts attention . . . and no tow truck
driver wants to tow a vehicle that is traveling alongside
the truck, two lanes away. |
