Question

How can I find the trim designation and VIN on a car?

The trim designation and VIN of your car are usually found on the dashboard or lower part of the window on the driver's side.

 Stand outside the car, face the inside, and look in the bottom right corner. It should also be on a sticker inside the front door on the driver’s side. Sometimes, it’s located on the front of the engine block or under the spare tire.

With all the different kinds of cars and trucks on the market today, it can be a challenge to find the trim and VIN. It is even harder to understand what they mean once you do.

The trim is usually written on the back of the car, often on the trunk. If you’re asking how to find your car’s trim, checking these areas should make it easier to identify.
