The professional glass technician series is designed for the 21st century mobile installer. This is the first of its kind, handheld digital device that can etch a vehicle’s VIN number; from typing to wiping the glass clean, in less than 5 minutes. The mobile installer simply types the VIN into the device with the integrated keyboard, sets the font style & size and also specifies how many stencils to print out. Insta Etch high quality stencils print out instantly, and are ready to be applied to the glass.
1st-of-its-Kind Mobile System.

An easy, profitable add-on service.
Approximately 1 in 3 vehicles previously have had their windows security etched, usually completed by a dealership before the car’s purchase. In order to satisfy national & local laws as well as contracts with all the major insurers / referral networks, any glass shop replacing broken glass should replace it with a new glass piece replaced to pre-loss condition, which includes VIN etching. This means, insurance companies are required to reimburse for the newly replaced VIN mark and you DON’T even have to sell or authorize it with your customer! VIN etch service should be authorized with the insurance company just like the process for authorizing service for glass tinting. In fact, recent figures indicate most Safelite Network insurance companies pay glass shops $39.95 to etch the newly replaced glass while the United State’s largest insurer, State Farm reimburses $65 for a single VIN etch! Skeptical ??? Check with your glass networks / insurance companies on newest billing procedures and rates. These organizations see the obvious and long-term benefits of VIN security etching.
