Nothing, why anyone would want a vehicle back that has vins scratched out on the frame but not the window is beyond me. Its just a BS item to try to upsell customers. same goes for the paint protection chemicals and stuff they also push. The only thing i ever deemed worthy was tint and tbh its usually the lowest grade tint out there that they use/carry.I always wonder what the utility of VIN etching is supposed to be? If my vehicle is stolen (or has parts stolen off of it) I have insurance. I really don't care if it can be more easily recovered if it has VIN etching because again, I have insurance. I have dealt with a whole lot of stolen vehicles over the course of my career. If mine is stolen, unless it is recovered right away (like less than a few hours) I don't want it back because it is going to be trashed. I'd rather have the insurance payout. If the insurance company wants VIN etching they can pay for it.
i had a dealer call it the "Texas Environmental package" and no matter who i asked at the dealer no one could give me an itemized list of what's in the package and why it cost 3k. its garbage and worst of all an insult to the customers intelligence.
