Hyundai VIN Check: What is a Hyundai VIN?

Hyundai reached American shores in with the Mitsubishi-based Excel. Although the company didn't introduce its first engine and transmission until , they are now the 8th largest vehicle brand in America. Today, the company is well known for its sedans, SUVs, high-performance &#;N&#; division, and class-leading Ionic electric cars.

Are you shopping for a used Hyundai? EpicVIN's tools make it easy to decode the VIN, so you can learn how vehicles were configured from the factory. This includes where and when they were made and their standard equipment. If you want to learn more, order a VIN report. It will include a basic vehicle owner lookup, as well as data collected from government and corporate records. We are an official National Motor Vehicle Title Information Service (NMVTIS) source.

The VIN number is a unique identifier issued to every vehicle at the factory. Since , this number has used a standard 17-character format containing vehicle information. This includes the model, engine, when, and where it was built. Our Hyundai VIN lookup will decode this number for you, so you can find out what all those characters mean. This makes verifying model information easy before looking at a vehicle.

Want to know more about a vehicle before you buy it? Order one of our vehicle reports. We gather information from government and corporate databases to create a complete vehicle history. It includes title changes, accident reports, and more. Helping you to avoid vehicles that could be hard to register and insure due to legal issues or are hiding hidden damage.

Hyundai VIN Number Lookup

Why is it important to do a DMV VIN check? Our Hyundai VIN decoder will tell you all the information in this code. This includes where and when the vehicle was manufactured, its engine, transmission, and other important details. This lets you verify that the information in sales listings is correct, saving you time when looking for a specific model.

Where to Search for the VIN?

There are several places you can find this number printed or stamped on the vehicle:

All modern vehicles sold in North America have the VIN printed on a plate attached to the dashboard. You can see this plate by standing next to the driver's door and looking through the windshield.
Hyundai places a sticker on the driver's side B pillar with the VIN and other vehicle information. Open the driver's door to see this sticker.
Open the hood and look at the firewall. You should see the VIN etched into the top center of the firewall, next to the wiper cowl. Many cars have insulation covering the firewall to keep heat and noise out of the passenger compartment. This insulation sheet has a small cutout around the VIN.

Since the VIN is critical, it may be found on vehicle paperwork, including titles, insurance policies, and service receipts. Still can't find the VIN? We also offer license plate lookup, which finds the VIN based on public vehicle registration records.

Overall Fantastic

Over all fantastic. From the ordering process, to how fast the shipping is and also the customer service. This is why I only shop on GenRacer for my coupe! Keep up the stellar work

Awesome Service

I recently purchased the ARK test pipes for my Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 and must say was the best thing I&#;ve done aside from from getting my aftermarket exhaust. Sounds louder and drives faster! No hassle, got the pipes within three days. Thank you GenRacer,

Simply the Best Service

Most places just sell parts and when you call them it feels like you are bothering them. My last transaction with GENRACER left nothing to be desired, meaning it could have not been better. I purchased front and rear WHITELINE sway bars, front & rear DBA rotors, and EBC YELLOWSTUFF brake pads. I called just after I ordered the parts because I received an "out of stock" notification. When I called back to chat with someone *** answered the . He couldn't have been more knowledgeable about exactly what I was looking for when it came to the right brake pad for my needs (street/track). Come to find out the pads I picked (DBA's) were not the best pads for my application so im very glad I talked to ***!! I just recently had everything installed, bedded the pads and I am so happy I used GenRacer for my 16 R-Spec Coupe!! Thanks again ***!!!

So Awesome

Order came fast and looks amazing on my car. I did have one problem where one tail light would blink sequentially and the other didn&#;t. I sent an late in the day inquiring about it. I wasn&#;t expecting a response until at least the following day as it was so late. Within an hour they had gotten back to me informing me of a switch on the inside of the housing where you can choose sequential or regular. Sweet! Top notch customer service.
