VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) etching

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) etching is a security process where the unique 17-character VIN is permanently engraved onto a vehicle’s windows and glass surfaces. This makes it more difficult for thieves to sell parts or the entire vehicle, as the etched VIN provides proof of ownership and helps law enforcement identify stolen vehicles. The process involves using specialized tools to precisely inscribe the VIN without damaging the glass, acting as a visible deterrent and aiding in recovery if theft occurs. VIN etching is a proactive security measure often offered by dealerships and insurance companies.
