Why VIN Etch Your Vehicle?
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) Etching is an inexpensive deterrent
against having your vehicle stolen. There are many reasons to VIN etch all of
the glass on your vehicle. Below are a number of the most common:
- Studies have shown that professional auto thieves don't want VIN etched
vehicles for the simple reason that it would cost approximately $1500-$5000 to
replace all of the glass in a typical vehicle.
- Most major insurance companies offer a discount for VIN etched vehicles -
you can actually pay for the etching through your premium savings!
- Law Enforcement agencies endorse the use of VIN etching and have seen
firsthand the positive results.
- Certain states have recognized the positive impact and have gone so far
as to pass laws that require car dealerships to offer VIN etching as new
cars are purchased.
- "Chop shops" which strip and resell the parts are not interested in
having identifiable evidence in their possession and avoid the risks of
disposing of hundreds of pounds of traceable glass.
- A Travelers Insurance Company study of 7,600 cars etched showed a 64%
drop in theft and at the same time the recovery rate was 85% verses 33%
- On the Ophrah Winfrey and Geraldo Rivera shows, a nationally known
security expert stated that vehicle security etching was a more effective means
for theft recovery of stolen vehicles than "Lo-Jack".
- According to the Wall Street Journal, "Police say that one of the most
cost effective security steps is having a vehicle identification number etched
on each window".
There are lots more reasons to VIN etch your vehicles. A search online
will turn up numerous police, security, insurance and automotive sites that
praise the effectiveness of VIN etching.

We serve the entire Northern Virginia area.
Our etching process uses an air compressor powered glass sand blaster to
etch the VIN number into all glass. This leaves a permanent, highly visible
mark. Unlike inexpensive chemical etching, there is never any need to paint the
etched VIN to make it visible.
Discounts are available to qualified groups. If you belong to a service
organization or a car club and have five or more vehicles to etch at one
location during a single appointment, we offer a $10.00* discount per vehicle.
*To qualify for the discounted price, the following
conditions must be met: the VIN numbers for all vehicles (minimum of 5)
to be etched must be emailed or faxed
to our office at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment.
Additionally, all vehicles receiving the $10.00 per vehicle discounted price
must be at the same location. No exceptions.
