FREE VIN Etching
9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., University Stadium (west lot), 1111 University Blvd SE - Map

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Etching is a fast, safe, and simple process of engraving a vehicle's VIN onto its windows using a chemical solution. Once the VIN has been etched on all the windows, a thief must strip and replace every piece of glass to profit off the sale of the stolen vehicle or its parts. Doing so is a time-consuming and expensive feat, which deters many thieves from stealing VIN-etched vehicles in the first place. It's one of the most effective ways to deter auto theft. All drivers are welcome.
