Trouble finding your cars VIN Number?

It came to my attention the other day that a mechanic seemed to think the only place you could find a vehicle identification number was just above the dashboard on the driver’s side of the car.

I surprised by Josh not knowing there can be several other places you can find it apart from the dashboard. Depending on the manufacture, you can find VIN numbers at various locations on the vehicle.

Here are a few more typical places you could try.

Try the door jamb on the driver’s side, on the car frame under the hood, usually in the centre just below the windshield.

Failing those here is a couple more. Look in the truck under the spare tire. How about looking for it in the wheel well normally on driver’s side above the tire.

If you still can’t see it try contacting the manufacture or your dealership for advice.
