We have been using Plant I for our rental fleet for 2 years and are very happy with their service.

Recently we had a Mercedes S class stolen by hirer who managed to block transmission from the telematic units installed in the car so we could not see the vehicles location.

Stuart at Plant I continued to monitor and work on the units installed even though it appeared a lost cause.   The car eventually transmitted a signal in Poland and has since been recovered, this occurred only because of his continued attention and diligence.

This professional and personalised service is rare to see and we are grateful for the continued support we receive from this company.
