Many law enforcement agencies and insurance companies believe that etching a vehicle identification number (VIN) on an auto's windshield and window glass is a significant theft deterrent. Thieves have difficulty selling a car with VIN etching and usually pass them up in favor of un-etched cars.
Some insurance companies, including AAA, offer discounts off their premium for VIN Etching.
After your car has been etched, we'll give you a completed form to submit to your insurance company for proof of protection. VIN Etching usually takes 15 minutes or less and is safe for your car.
The etching, which costs $30 for AAA members and $40 for nonmembers, includes eight etchings per vehicle.
The VIN Etch service is available on select dates from Spring through early December. The service is by appointment only (48-hour advance notice) at select AAA offices. For more information, please call (314) 523-7350 ext. 6821.
