Vehicle sweeps

Valkyrie carries out thorough inspections and sweeps of vehicles to find and eliminate electronic eavesdropping and tracking devices. If you suspect someone knows where you have been, or what was said in your car, a vehicle sweep gives you a clear answer.

How cars get compromised

A car is easy to get at. It sits on the street, in car parks and at garages, and it is often handed to valets or shared with family members. That makes it one of the simplest places to hide a GPS tracker, and a common place to conceal a listening device. Some trackers attach magnetically in seconds; others are wired into the vehicle’s power supply or plugged into the diagnostic port so they never need charging.

Warning signs

  • A former partner, colleague or rival seems to know your movements
  • Something you only discussed while driving has been repeated back to you
  • You notice an unfamiliar box, wire or device under the car, behind trim or near the diagnostic port
  • The vehicle was recently out of your hands, at a garage, a car wash or with someone you no longer trust

What we check

Our specialists work through the exterior, underside and wheel arches, the engine bay, boot and cabin, and the vehicle’s own electronics, including the diagnostic port and any phones or devices paired with the car’s systems.

If we find something

We will explain what the device is and what it is likely to have captured. Where it may matter later, for example in family or employment proceedings, we can preserve it properly as evidence rather than simply removing it.

Questions clients ask

Is it legal for someone to track my car?

Tracking another person without their knowledge can amount to harassment or stalking in the UK. Your solicitor can advise on your options; we can provide the evidence they need.

Should I take a tracker off if I find one?

Please leave it in place and call us. Removing it tips off whoever fitted it and can damage evidence.

Can you check my home at the same time?

Yes. Many clients pair a vehicle sweep with a residential sweep, or with a corporate sweep of their office.
