The car chassis number (also known as the Vehicle Identification Number or VIN) is typically found in several locations on your vehicle. The most common place is on the driver's side door.
Here's a breakdown of where to look:
-
Driver's Side Door Jamb: Look for a sticker or metal plate on the B-pillar (the pillar behind the driver's seat when the door is open). This is a very common location for the VIN.
-
Dashboard: The VIN is often visible through the windshield on the driver's side dashboard. Look at the lower corner where the dashboard meets the windshield.
-
Vehicle Title and Registration: Your car's VIN is also printed on your vehicle title, registration documents, and insurance cards.
-
Engine Compartment: Sometimes, the VIN is stamped onto the engine block or firewall. However, this location is less common for easy access.
-
Chassis: On some older vehicles, the VIN or a portion of it may be stamped directly onto the chassis.
In summary, check the driver's side door jamb first. If you don't find it there, look through the windshield at the dashboard, and then consult your vehicle documents.
