VIN Etching is one of the most simple and most effective ways
to deter car thieves. VIN Etching makes a vehicle less attractive
to thieves because police can accurately identify a stolen car
more easily. VIN Etching also makes a car less valuable to a thief
because the all of the car's windows would have to be replaced
before a thief could attempt to sell the car or its parts.
Cars that have been VIN Etched have a 64% lower theft rate that
non-Etched cars. And, a VIN Etched car has a more than an 85%
chance of recovery if it is stolen. In fact, VIN Etching is so
effective that many insurance companies will offer discounts on
premiums for VIN Etching a vehicle.
While many car dealers charge up to $250 to provide this service,
"VINetcher"
offers a Do-It-Yourself Kit for $19.95 + shipping and handling.
The VINetcher kit pays for itself many times over thanks to the
money you will save on your comprehensive insurance premiums.
The VINetcher Kit contains simple, easy to follow instructions.
The complete process takes less than 15 minutes. We had no problems
applying the VIN to our cars' windows. We also saved money by
ordering a kit for 3 cars. Each additional car only cost us $10.
The total was $39.95 for 3 cars. Can't really beat that, especially
when we are all going to save much more than $19 on our car insurance
every year.
We compared the VINetcher kit to several of its competitors and
found that there doesn't separate the kits much, except that VINetcher
had the best looking warning decal and also provided for enrollment
in the National Vehicle Identification Program. This was an option
that we exercised by sending in our application form, which had
come with the kit. By registering our vehicle in the NVIP we will
have the $15 registration fee for StolenCarReport waived if our
cars are ever stolen.
The VINetcher kits arrived at our offices 4 business days after
we ordered them. The other 2 kits we reviewed took longer to arrive.
Overall, an extremely good use of $19.95 (really $13 each in
our case) and 15 minutes. Our cars are now better protected and
2 of us are scheduled to receive discounts on our insurance premiums.
