How it works
What you actually get
Best for: second cars, work vans, a classic in a lock-up, or keeping an eye on a young driver — where you want to know, not to satisfy an underwriter.
Shield is the entry point to the Meta Trak range and the one we are most careful to explain properly. It tracks the vehicle and pushes alerts to your phone if it moves when it should not. What it does not have is a manned control room behind it, and it is not Thatcham approved.
That means two things. If the vehicle is taken, the person acting on the alert is you — ringing the police, quoting the location, chasing it up. And if your insurer has asked for a tracker in writing, this will not satisfy them; you want the S7 or the S5.
Where it earns its place is everything else. A second car, a works van full of tools, a caravan on a driveway, a classic that only comes out in summer. It also covers more than one vehicle from the same account, which is why small businesses tend to like it.
Which cars? Second vehicles, work vans, trailers and classics — anything you want visibility of without paying for a monitoring contract.

The detail
Everything else worth knowing
The things people ring up to ask before booking — how the app behaves, what the subscription actually costs you, and what paperwork you end up with.
The app, and what you can actually do with it
Every tracker here is driven from one app, on iOS and Android. You get live location, thirty days of journey history, geo-fences that tell you when the vehicle leaves an area you have drawn, motion and low-battery alerts, and driver behaviour reporting if you want it.
There are also garage, service and privacy modes. Garage and service modes stop the system treating a legitimate visit to a workshop as a theft. Privacy mode stops journeys being logged at all, which matters if the vehicle is shared or used personally as well as for work.
We set the app up on your phone before we leave, and we would rather spend twenty minutes showing you the alerts than have you find out how they work on the worst night of the year.
Your subscription, and what it costs at renewal
A tracker has to stay connected to report anything, and on the monitored systems there are people staffing a control room around the clock. That is what the subscription pays for.
On the Meta Trak systems the first subscription term is included with the installation, so there is nothing further to pay on the day. What you pay is the renewal when that term ends: currently £189.95 a year or £499.95 for three years on the S5 systems, and £119.95 a year or £329.95 for three years on S7. The Shield is self-monitored and cheaper to run at £75.95 a year.
We will remind you before a renewal falls due. If you let it lapse, the hardware stays in the vehicle but stops reporting, and any insurance certificate based on it would no longer stand.
The insurance certificate and your paperwork
Once the system is installed and registered, you get a certificate in your name confirming the make, model and Thatcham category fitted. That is the document an underwriter asks for, and it is usually what they are waiting on before they will renew or offer cover on a higher-value vehicle.
Send us your insurer's wording before you book. If what they have asked for does not match what you are about to buy, we would rather tell you that up front than issue a certificate that does not satisfy them.
The Shield is the exception: it is self-monitored, carries no Thatcham approval, and no certificate comes with it.
Fitting day, and what happens afterwards
We come to your home or workplace anywhere around Milton Keynes. Allow two to three hours for an S7 and three to four for an S5 with driver tags. You keep the vehicle throughout — there is no need to be without it for a day.
The unit is hidden on the vehicle's existing wiring. Nothing is cut and nothing is left on show, which is the point: a tracker somebody can find is a tracker somebody can remove.
Before we go, the app is on your phone, the tags are paired, the alerts are set to suit where you park, and you have had a proper run through. Afterwards we are on the end of the phone — for a renewal question, a new phone, or moving the unit to your next vehicle.
Monitoring
The subscription, stated plainly
A tracker needs a live connection to report anything, and that is what the subscription pays for. It is the cost people get caught out by elsewhere, so we quote it separately and in writing before you commit — never rolled into a headline price.

What customers say
Rated 4.9 across Milton Keynes
4.9 from 18 Google reviews
Had my Mercedes C180 in with Kaine to replace both front suspension springs. I knew that this was not an easy job on this car. Dropped the car off in the morning and it was ready that afternoon. He did an amazing job and I'll be recommending him to friends and family for any work that they need doing. 5 stars!
Had my Audi S3 in for a complete overhaul — Kaine supplied and fitted all the parts, including cam belt, water pump, a full service and a balance shaft delete. He also noticed one of my rear callipers was sticking, so recommended and fitted a new calliper and new rear discs and pads too. A 5 star service — I'll only use Kaine from now on for any mechanical work.
Exceptional experience with Kaine. Came out to me, took my car and fixed it all within two hours. Very impressed and will definitely call him if needed again. Great price.

Questions
About the MetaTrak Shield
Will my insurer accept it?
No, and we would rather lose the sale than let you find that out at renewal. Shield is not Thatcham approved and no certificate comes with it. If an underwriter has asked for tracking, you need the S7 at minimum, and S5 if they have named the category.
What actually happens if the car is taken?
Your phone tells you it has moved and shows you where it is. From there it is you and the police — there is no control room ringing you at three in the morning, and no one liaising with the force on your behalf. That is the whole difference between this and the S5.
Can I put it on more than one vehicle?
One unit tracks one vehicle, but the account handles several, so a household or a small firm can see everything in one app. Ask us and we will price the units together.
Will it affect my warranty or damage the car?
No. It connects to the car's existing network — nothing is cut, drilled or spliced — and it can be removed later with no trace. Manufacturers and insurers expect to see exactly this kind of installation.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We fit at your home or workplace anywhere around Milton Keynes, so you keep the car and lose nothing more than a couple of hours.
