A dealership is a showroom, a service business and an outdoor inventory of high-value vehicles. Xtreme provides officers and marked patrols for dealerships across Canada, the United States and Australia, with a professional presence during business hours and a tighter after-hours programme when the lot is dark.
Most dealership loss happens on the lot after close, but the daytime job still matters: a professional presence at the showroom, control of the service drive, and a watch on keys, deliveries and the vehicle display. We write post orders around the actual property — front row, overflow lot, service lane, parts dock and showroom doors — the lot and showroom you actually run.
After hours, marked patrols from our 270+ fleet run randomised checks of the fence, the rows and the buildings, with alarm response dispatched by the 24/7 NSOC. Some sites hold a static overnight officer; others are covered on a multi-rooftop run that includes a body shop or an overflow lot down the street. The schedule is designed so a thief cannot set a watch on it.
Group operators need one standard across rooftops, with reporting a general manager and a regional manager can both use. We can run that programme in a single metro or across a region, staffed from 40+ offices, under one account team.
Every programme is scoped precisely to your site after a free security assessment. Officers are licensed where required.
Events on the lot — a sale weekend, a launch, a customer appreciation day — are staffed as events, not as an extra salesperson in a jacket. Construction or renovation on an occupied rooftop is handled with the same discipline we bring to other job sites, under the same account.
The lot is a workplace as well as an inventory. Officers are briefed on how to move around vehicles, service traffic and customers, and to de-escalate first. That is the standard we supervise, in Canada, the United States and Australia.
The risks we plan for
- After-hours theft and vandalism on the vehicle lot
- Overflow lots and body shops away from the main rooftop
- Keys, deliveries and service-drive control during the day
- Sale-weekend and launch crowds
- Fence-line and dark-row gaps on large properties
How a programme is built
A typical dealership programme combines a daytime professional presence with randomised after-hours lot patrols and alarm response. Some rooftops add a static overnight officer. Dealer groups get one reporting standard across sites, with post orders written for each lot.
We field 4,500+ full-time staff with access to a network of 17,000+ licensed officers, operate from 40+ offices, run 270+ patrol units and back every post with a 24/7 National Security Operations Centre and $10M liability coverage. Officers are licensed where required. Coverage is supported from our head offices in Surrey, British Columbia; Bellevue, Washington; and Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
Every programme is scoped precisely to your site after a free security assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Do you patrol the lot after the showroom closes?
Yes. Marked units run randomised after-hours checks of the fence, the rows and the buildings, with alarm response from our 24/7 NSOC. Some sites also hold a static overnight officer.
Can you cover an overflow lot or a body shop that is not on the main rooftop?
Yes. Multi-rooftop and off-site lots are written into the same programme, on a schedule that does not invite a watch.
Can a dealer group run several rooftops under one contract?
Yes. Groups receive one account team, consistent standards and reporting a general manager and a regional manager can both use.
Do you staff sale weekends and vehicle launches?
Yes. Those days are planned as event posts, not as an unplanned extra shift on the lot.
How is a dealership programme scoped?
An account lead walks the rooftop, overflow lots and after-hours risk, then writes post orders before the first shift.
Where is dealership security available?
Across Canada, the United States and Australia, supported from head offices in Surrey, Bellevue and Brisbane.
Showroom days and dark lots
The front row, the overflow lot, the service drive and a body shop down the street are not the same risk, and they are often not on the same piece of land. We walk the rooftop with the general manager or fixed-ops lead: fencing, lighting, keys, deliveries, the hours the last adviser leaves, and whether an off-site lot is currently being ignored. The after-hours pattern is written so a thief cannot set a watch on it.
Daytime still matters. A professional presence in the showroom and at the service drive, control of keys and deliveries, and a calm response when a sale-weekend crowd arrives are part of the same programme. Sale days and launches are staffed as events, not as an extra jacket borrowed from the lot.
Dealer groups can run several rooftops under one account team, with reporting a general manager and a regional manager can both use. Every programme is scoped precisely to your site after a free security assessment.

A dealership programme has to work on a bright Saturday in the showroom and on a dark Tuesday on the overflow lot. We will walk the rooftop and any off-site lots with you, write an after-hours pattern that cannot be watched, and keep the daytime presence professional. Dealer groups can hold several rooftops under one standard and one account team.
If you run one rooftop or a group, we will walk the lot, the overflow and the service drive with you and write an after-hours pattern that cannot be watched, with a professional daytime presence that still belongs in the showroom.
