What does "Check warranty by VIN" mean?

It means using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to look up your factory warranty status directly from manufacturer records and to see personalised extended warranty (vehicle service contract) options for your exact vehicle.

Can I check warranty by license plate?

No, you need your VIN. Your VIN is more specific and contains your vehicle's detailed information. License plates vary by state and cannot be used for warranty lookup.

Is the VIN warranty lookup free?

Yes! You can check your warranty status for free with Chaiz. No email, phone, or credit card required.

Does a VIN show recalls?

Yes, the Chaiz VIN check includes outstanding manufacturer recalls for your vehicle.

Does an OEM warranty transfer to a new owner?

Typically, yes. Most OEM warranties transfer to the second owner with some limitations. Check your specific manufacturer for details on transferability.

Can I buy an extended warranty after my OEM warranty expires?

Yes! Extended warranties (vehicle service contracts) can often be purchased after your factory warranty expires. Your vehicle may still qualify for coverage depending on its age and mileage.

Where is my VIN located?

Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a 17-character code located on your dashboard (visible through the windshield on the driver's side), the driver-side door jamb sticker, your insurance card, and your vehicle title.

What information does a VIN contain?
