The VIN (vehicle identification number) of your vehicle is located on a metal plate on the driver’s side of your car’s dash. It can usually be viewed only by standing outside your car and looking at the lower edge of the windshield. The plate is about three inches long. You may also have a VIN sticker on the driver’s door of your vehicle, either on the door itself, just under the latch mechanism or on the door jamb under the latch post. (Open the driver’s door and look along the rear edge for a sticker.) The VIN is 17 characters long; without all 17 characters, it is very difficult to decode a VIN. You may search the internet for various services that will decode your VIN, or you may telephone / email your VIN to us for decoding. Our software decodes the make, model, year, engine size, and number of doors for almost any passenger vehicle. It will not decode a vehicle’s transmission type, color, seat fabric, etc. in most cases. There is no charge for decoding your VIN.
