Private investigator cars are chosen to be forgettable. The useful vehicle is a common model in a common colour, not a blacked-out truck with extra antennas.
What cars do private investigators drive?
Teams use everyday cars and, sometimes, a motorcycle, because that is already what the street looks like. A vehicle that could pass as a trades van or another ordinary working vehicle can do the same job: it gives a reason to be parked on a public street. The aim is to watch from a lawful place without becoming the thing everyone remembers.
On a moving file, an agency may send more than one vehicle so no single car has to sit directly behind someone for the whole trip. That is a staffing choice. It is not permission to follow a car onto private property, block a driveway, or hide a tracker.
Can a private investigator track your car?
A lawful file records what can be seen in public: departures, stops, and who was with the driver. Attaching a device to a car, reading a tracker the client has no right to use, or going into a garage is a different legal question, and a professional firm refuses it. If a device has been stuck to a car you own, take that to the police. This page is not a set of instructions for finding or placing one.
What you actually receive
The product is a log: times, places, and photographs taken from a lawful spot. Investigation Hotline sets that window before anyone goes out. Call (416) 205-9114 if you need the activity documented.
