Immobilizer (IMMO) Service An immobilizer is an anti-theft mechanism that prevents an automobile’s engine from starting unless the correct ignition key or other device is present. This device prevents thieves from starting the car by a method known as hot wiring. Most new vehicles have an immobilizer as standard equipment. An important advantage of this system is that it doesn’t require the car owner to activate it; it operates automatically.
