Speaking of my Smart car, finding the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is actually quite straightforward. Most of the time, it's affixed at the lower left corner of the windshield, near the driver's side—just bend down slightly to spot those stamped digits, clear and reliable. Once when I was changing license plates, I also noticed it on the label inside the doorjamb of the passenger side, that small sticker on the inner pillar when you open the door, packed with vehicle details—just make sure dust doesn’t obscure it. If tools aren’t handy for a clear view, I usually pop the hood and check near the engine compartment for small engravings; though placement varies by model, most Smarts follow this setup. A quick tip: after noting the VIN, snap a photo and save it on your phone for easy access during insurance updates or annual inspections—saves you the back-and-forth hassle.
