Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is essentially your car’s fingerprint. In its entirety, it is specific only to your car. Each car has its own unique VIN number and can be decoded to provide manufacturing and identification information on any vehicle on the road.

Essentially, a VIN number will tell you exactly what a car is and where it came from, without even having to see the car.
