VIN Etch

How and why does it work?

         In the United States alone a vehicle is stolen every 20 seconds.  That’s over 1 million vehicles every year.  Most are never recovered.  The ones that are recovered usually have thousands of dollars in repairs.  And if you have a deductible, you’ll have to pay to get it repaired.  Etching is probably one of the best ways to make your car safe from professional thieves.  They are not after the vehicle, they are after the money the vehicles brings them after they sell it.  Etching places an identification code on every window on your vehicle.  This makes the vehicle traceable by police, so the thieves cannot sell it, because no one will risk buying it.  We also place a sticker on the car with our toll free number so that anyone can call and report the vehicle stolen.  Since changing all of the glass is too costly, the thieves will go to another vehicle.
