Should I buy VIN etching from the dealer?
No. VIN etching involves engraving your vehicle identification number on the windows as a theft deterrent. Dealers charge $200 to $400 for this service. You can buy a DIY VIN etching kit online for $20 to $30, or skip it entirely since it has minimal impact on theft risk or insurance rates.

Smoothest car transaction I’ve ever experienced. Quick, yet detailed, responses to all my questions. It’s a process I always dread but Sean made it seem so easy and more affordable. Highly recommend

Another five star experience!!! This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased through David and the crew at Vantage. No hassle, no bait and switch, no high pressure sales tactics or incessant follow up phone calls like with a traditional dealership. A few phone conversations with David, and he finds the car you want, with the trim package you want, at the best possible price. Delivery is convenient and the crew are always the constant professionals, taking the time to go over vehicle features and getting you setup to go…. Cant say enough.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with David and Jess at Vantage Auto Group. They got me the exact car I wanted at the best possible price—and did it all within a day. The entire process was seamless, stress-free, and incredibly efficient. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and transparency, and the delivery was so effortless it almost felt too easy. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend!

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

Working with Vantage was an awesome experience. They walked me through every step and made me feel like their top priority! They even returned my EZpass device that I had mistakenly left in my trade-in. I didn’t even know this industry existed prior to working with them, but I will never walk into a dealership to buy a car again, thanks to the amazing service Vantage provided. Highly recommend!
