Why is Vin Etch Important??- Scranton Motors of Vernon Explains!

The definition of Vin Etch courtesy of wikipedia -  VIN etching is a countermeasure to motor vehicle theft. It most commonly involves the use of a stencil and glass etching paste to etch a vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) onto the windshield and windows. Thieves would need to replace the glass before selling the stolen vehicle, thus reducing or eliminating their profit.[1] VIN etching can increase the odds of recovery of car by police.[2]

At Scranton Motors, We Vin Etch ALL of our vehicles.  Not only is it a theft deterrent, it also can save some customers money depending on their insurance carrier.  Whether you live in a rural or urban community, a safety feature and theft deterrent is never a bad thing.
