Do your prices include installation and GST?
Yes, there are no nasty suprises. All our prices include GST and everything except audio systems includes installation. The cost of installing audio systems will vary depending on things such as if panels need cutting to fit speakers or if dash pockets or trim needs replacing. For example, depending on the vehicle you may have to pay anything from $60.00 to $120.00 to replace a head unit.

Where is your shop / showroom?
You're looking at it! We provide a Fully mobile installation service, we don't have a shop, showroom or workshop. Our installers are fully equipped to come to you for the installation. Many of our products are featurd on this website, but your best option is to phone to discuss your requirenemts so that we can taylor a solution to suit you, your vehicle and your budget.
I already have an alarm, can you install it into my car?
Yes. We can install any vehicle security system as long as we have a wiring schematic for it. We have schematics in our database for most systems and some manufacturers include them with the alarm system. We can also remove a system from one car and reinstall it into another. If it was a system that we sold originally we'll also renew your warranty when we do it.
We can also install, remove, reinstall or repair any car audio or multimedia system, GPS tracking or navigation system,car phone kit or Radio telephone, spotlights, airhorns, turbo timers or any other automotive electronics.
And not just in your car, we have worked on many trucks, busses, camper vans, caravans, trailers, boats and motorcycles.
Can I buy an alarm and install it myself?
Yes, but we wouldn't recommend it. All of our technicians are registered with the New Zealand Security Association and trained to install according to the AS/NZS3749.2 installation standard. This level of installation is required by the New Zealand Insurance Council in order for a security system to be approved for insurance purposes. The reason that these standards have been set is that experience has shown that a security system is only as good as the installation. A poorly fitted security system will not provide an adequate level of protection for your vehicle and is more likely to cause problems.There are many backyard installers that offer cheap or discount vehicle security systems but experience has shown us that they always cut corners on the installation and then later, when you have a problem, they have gone out of business. There is no substitute for a quality installation. A1 Security has been trading for 14 years, we are proud of our work and are so confident in the quality of our installations that we provide a limited lifetime warranty in all our installations.
Do you have batteries for my remote control?
Yes. We can post you out a pair of remote control batteries. Simply send $10.00 and a self addressed envelope toA1 SECURITY

I am in the auto trade, do you offer trade discounts?
Yes. A large percentage of our business is with car dealerships and we offer trade discounts based on sales volumes. If you think that you may like to become one of our trade customers and receive all the benefits in terms of pricing, prioritising and personal service that comes with it, please contact us and let us show you how we can benefit your business. We also do labour only installations for busy auto electrical workshops who find that they save time and money by subcontracting their installations to us instead of tying up one of their technicians for a day or more.
Is my car really at risk?
High
Risk Vehicles 
The list of vehicles most considered at risk for theft is complied from a survey of insurance companies by Insurance Council of New Zealand. It consists of two general types of vehicle. The first is high performance, high value motor vehicles which are often targeted and stolen specifically to order. The second group is relatively inexpensive, high performance vehicles that are seen as joy riding opportunities and are often involved in street racing of some sort or another.
This list is not indicative of any defects in the cars, but simply Insurance Companies concerns about their risk from organised or opportunistic theft.

DO PEOPLE EVEN TAKE NOTICE WHEN A CAR ALARM SOUNDS?
You just never know who will hear a car alarm sounding or how they will respond but more importantly, neither does the thief. But you certainly know that without the alarm NOBODY will hear it and NOBODY will respond.By advertising the fact that your vehicle has been professionally fitted with a good quality vehicle security system you will DETER most thieves. By interfacing your vehicle security system with remote central locking you ensure that you DENY access to your vehicle. By fitting your vehicle with an audible alarm, paging system or GPS tracking you ensure that you DETECTany unauthorised access to your vehicle. And, by having a good quality vehicle immobiliser professionally fitted you will DELAY any attempt to make off with your vehicle.
These are the four D's of security and a good quality, professionally installed vehicle security system will provide all four. DETER, DENY, DETECT and DELAY.
