Most automotive supply stores sell mechanical anti-theft devices. Many retail stores stock them in their automotive sections, too. Most shops that install car stereos sell and install electronic immobilizers and vehicle alarms too.
Proper installation is critical. If you buy an alarm or an electronic immobilizer, a professional must install it. The wiring on these systems is spliced into your vehicle's electrical system. One mistake could cause poor performance, a system failure or expensive electrical damage.

When you choose an installer, ask:
The Vehicle Information Centre of Canada has established a Canadian standard for automotive theft deterrents. Installers of anti-theft devices must meet guidelines of the Underwriter's Laboratories of Canada (ULC).
Buy an anti-theft device with a warranty. Choose an installer that guarantees its work. Some guarantees and warranties have restrictions. Ensure your needs are met.
