It is common for traffic police officers to compare the VIN number in a car’s documents with an alphanumeric combination somewhere on the body. You never know: suddenly the hijacker was lucky enough to stop. If the marking has become difficult to distinguish due to corrosion or after an accident, the policeman, rubbing the handles, will certainly send such a car to the seized plot – based on his suspicions. Even if the owner of the car personally bought it new from a car dealership many years ago.
This situation is clear proof that you even need to keep track of the VIN number in your own car! And what can you do with it when it rusts inexorably and disappears from view? There is only one answer – turn to those who know how to “interrupt” VIN numbers with high quality. Practice shows that there are enough agencies working on this company in every major city.
Previously, artisans with similar qualifications participated in schemes for the legalization of stolen vehicles. Now they have a very respectable business in restoring the VIN mark legally. The algorithm for such a “break” of a VIN number (for example, a rotten one) is as follows. To begin with, you need to go to the MREO traffic police and show the car there. The inspector determines that the VIN is missing (illegible) and sends the car owner with the correct paperwork to the local police department to conduct forensic investigations for theft and other illegal activity.
Upon completion of the law enforcement business, the car owner receives a document confirming that his case has nothing to do with the Penal Code. Next, he will have to turn to specialists in “interrupting” VIN. Keep in mind that companies specializing in such services are still not a mass business. At least because of a not particularly broad and specific market. Everyone, as they say, knows everyone here. A study of their prices suggests that we are dealing with something like a cartel in this case. For example, in Moscow, these guys clearly agreed to keep the price of VIN restoration at the level of “from 20,000 rubles.”
You can sometimes come across a price tag of “19,000”. But here, most likely, you will still be “divorced” for a noticeably higher fee for the service. Because when it comes down to it, something like increased complexity of work will almost certainly crop up, driving up their costs. Or it turns out that there is also a special increased rate for “do well today”.
It is typical that some companies engaged in the re-marking of bodies and frames sometimes provide related services to customers. For a fee – 45,000-100,000 rubles – they take on all the “nonsense” with the police running around. For this money, the car owner simply gives the dealers his car with an illegible chassis number, and after a while takes it from them – already with brand new markings on the body or frame, as well as with the corresponding markings in the PTS and STS of the car.
