GLASS SERVICES
Insurance-approved anti-theft glass etching that deters theft and aids recovery.
EtchGuard is a simple, permanent security upgrade that protects your vehicle against theft. We etch a unique identification code onto your window glass, linking your vehicle to a registered database — deterring thieves and making your vehicle easier to trace and recover. It’s trusted by insurers and fleet operators alike.
Using a precise stencil process, our technicians permanently mark the outer surface of each window with a unique code. The marking is surface-level only — it does not weaken the glass or affect your vehicle’s safety, glass warranty, or roadworthiness. The whole process is quick and carried out at our fitment centres.
EtchGuard can be professionally applied to any passenger vehicle or commercial fleet at participating Autoboys Glass Services fitment centres across Gauteng. Check with your insurer — many view glass etching as an approved anti-theft measure and may offer reduced premiums or require it as a condition of cover.

Etched glass is far less attractive to thieves and chop shops, because each marked panel must be replaced before a stolen vehicle can be resold or stripped for parts. The unique code also gives police and insurers a reliable way to identify and recover a marked vehicle.
