A vehicle bug sweep in Toronto typically costs $499 to $1,500 depending on what’s covered. Here’s how the pricing breaks down at Fob Experts and what to look for when comparing.
What a standard $499 vehicle bug sweep covers
- Full RF spectrum scan (sub-GHz, cellular, BT/UWB, WiFi)
- OBD-II port inspection (most common place for cellular trackers)
- Undercarriage visual + magnetic tracker check
- Interior cavity probe (under seats, trim panels, headliner)
- Hidden camera detection (BLE, IR, pinhole optical)
- Written report with photos and findings
What pushes the price higher
Add-on services that take the cost above $499:
- Court-grade documentation package ($150 extra) — chain-of-custody log, FCC ID cross-references, evidence-bagged removal
- Multi-vehicle fleet sweep — $400 per additional vehicle, same-visit
- Building / office TSCM on top — $1,500+ for combined vehicle + office
- After-hours dispatch — +$150 outside 8am-8pm
What you should be suspicious of
“Bug sweep specials” under $200 in the GTA are either incomplete (RF scan only, no physical inspection) or scams. A real sweep takes 30-60 minutes minimum. If a service quotes “we’ll find it in 10 minutes for $99,” they’re not actually finding anything.

What’s the difference between a “bug sweep” and “tracker removal”?
A bug sweep is the detection service. Tracker removal is what happens when we find something. We document, photograph, FCC-cross-reference, and remove with chain-of-custody paperwork. Often quoted together when there’s reasonable suspicion.
