    Any decent tyre place or garage will do it. Cost usually around 30 quid.

    car tracking? you mean like a tracking device to tell you where abouts a car is? :) never thought of that..

    whenever i hear tracking i think of 4 wheel alignment... :)

    Ask the Minister for Justice ... he can read out your phone records in the Dail and tell you where you were!! :D

    I believe there is a system in the States called Lo-Jack that I understand is also operated in the UK. It allows police cars to track stolen cars.

    There are also a number of companies that provide tracking services (satellite and mobile phone based) for commercial fleets .

    Have a look at www.aircoach.ie and you can see the live position of all their buses (Click on live position).

    Techstore in Maynooth fit tracking devices.
    Check with your insurance company if they recommend any manufacturers also.

    Incidentally, I thought of wheel alignment at first.

    If you do get a tracker fitted, make sure you inform your insurance company - they should give you some kind of discount as it is more likely to be recovered if stolen.

    What about one of these

    Even though they're sold in the UK, they'll work in Ireland.
