How to Check your VIN

• 1). Stand on the driver's side of the vehicle, toward the front of the car. Face the back of the car and look at the bottom right side of the front windshield. This is where your Acura's VIN number will be located. Usually there is a small rectangle that you can see it through where the windshield seals to the car. According to an article on VINs by Kerry Wilson, the VIN is 17 characters long, consisting of letters and numbers.
  
  
• 2). Write down the VIN exactly. This number is unique to your specific car and will pull up information on your vehicle only.
  
  
• 3). Get online and check the VIN of your car. CarFax vehicle history reports are probably the most well known way to do this, but its services usually cost money. There are websites that offer free car history reports as well as information on how to decode your VIN, such as Vehicleidentificationnumber.com.
