What is a VIN?

A VIN or Vehicle Identification Number is like a finger print for your vehicle. Every vehicle has its own unique identifier number which can be used to look up details about your vehicle including vehicle history. VIN numbers are 17 characters in length, composed of numbers and capital letters. If your VIN is less than 17 characters then it is a pre-1981 vehicle.

What do the VIN characters mean?

The first character in the VIN specifies where the vehicle was made. The second and third characters specify the manufacturer. Characters four through eight give detail about the car's engine size, brand, and type.
