How to Find the VIN Number of a Verano?
2 Answers
Check the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the vehicle's motor vehicle license. There is a section that records it, labeled as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) code. The most common general location is on the left side of the dashboard. For sedans, the vehicle identification code is usually located below the outside of the driver's windshield, specifically in the lower right corner of the windshield. On various nameplates in the engine compartment, the VIN is generally located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, or on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or door edge. Check other places, such as the insurance policy or the driver's side door pillar, for the vehicle identification code.
When I first looked for the VIN of my Buick Verano, it also took me some time because it wasn’t particularly obvious. The most straightforward location is at the lower left corner of the windshield—just crouch down outside, and you’ll see a 17-digit combination of numbers and letters. If your car is dirty or the angle isn’t right, try opening the driver’s door; there’s usually a label with the VIN on the door frame pillar, and it’s typically printed clearly. If you still can’t find it, pop open the hood—there’s often a metal plate with the number near the firewall or engine area. Just a heads-up: in summer heat, the sticker might fade, so don’t panic if it takes a few tries. Another option is to check your vehicle registration certificate or insurance paperwork—it’s definitely recorded there. This number is crucial for things like ownership transfers or maintenance, so I’d recommend snapping a photo and saving it on your phone to avoid last-minute scrambling. If you can’t find it anywhere, it might have been missed during post-accident repairs—in that case, a professional repair shop or dealership can pull it from their computer records.
