The quantitative data used in this study was collected by means of an online questionnaire and there were 55 research respondents who are potential motor vehicle security customers in Gauteng, South Africa.

According to the study, potential vehicle security customers in South Africa need additional security and with their current vehicle security. In addition, potential vehicle security customers in South Africa will buy a steering lock because they are concerned about security. Further, potential vehicle security customers in South Africa believe that this concept product is the best to protect their vehicle and they have a strong appeal for the product. The results also showed that some potential vehicle security customers in South Africa are willing to spend up to R1000 on vehicle security because are somewhat concerned about their parked cars that are left unattended for a long time. Furthermore, the results showed that potential vehicle security customers in South Africa are willing to purchase this concept product as a gift for someone. Based on this study, the government should encourage investment in motor vehicles and property security in the country, and investors should explore various innovative methods of providing motor vehicle security to potential customers. In addition, the government should encourage comprehensive insurance coverage for potential motor vehicle customers and should reinforce public security to reduce the current security risk for potential motor vehicle customers | |
