SPD to host Auto VIN etching event Aug. 19

By Editor | August 11, 2022 |

There will be a free auto VIN etching event Aug. 19 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at Tiger Stadium, 700 W. Dickens St.

The South Plains Auto Task Force will permanently etch the driver’s vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, into all window glass. This will make it more difficult to sell to a chop shop. Drivers may also qualify for a deduction on automobile theft insurance afterward.
