Disable Alarms to Avoid Unnecessary Interruptions

---

One often-overlooked but crucial step in preparing your car for transport is disabling its alarm system. Here's why this matters and how to do it effectively.

Why You Should Disable Your Alarm

• Prevent Interruptions During Transport:
  During auto transport, your vehicle may experience vibrations, tilting, or other movements as it's loaded, transported, and unloaded. These movements can inadvertently trigger your car’s alarm, causing unnecessary disruptions.
  
• Protect the Driver's Schedule:
  A triggered alarm can delay the transport process, especially if the carrier has to stop and address the issue.
  
• Avoid Battery Drain:
  An alarm that goes off repeatedly can drain your car’s battery, potentially causing additional complications upon delivery.
