The United States alone has a whopping 272 million registered automobiles. GM, or General Motors, is the market leader in sales of all of these cars. It is the country's largest auto market stockholder.

This enormous popularity of GM also accounts for the increase in GM auto component manufacture. Today, Chevy, Buick, and other GM models are available with both OEM and aftermarket components.

If you want to purchase any of these components, you must first get their specific GM part numbers. Whether you're replacing an oil filter, a headlight, or a seatbelt, each one has a unique component number.

Therefore, how can you locate and learn about these component numbers?

Determining General Motors Part Numbers Using Your VIN

The VIN, or vehicle identification number, is the most basic of all automobile component numbers. Each produced car is identified with a seventeen-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Consider this number to be the vehicle's DNA; no two functioning automobiles will have the same VIN.

Without getting your hands dirty, you may already determine a particular GM component number using the VIN.

Where to Locate Your Vehicle Identification Number?

Vehicle identification numbers (VINs) are imprinted on a plate located on the left side of the dashboard on vehicles made by General Motors. This is easy to notice from the exterior of your car: a glance through your front window for the VIN plate.

Additionally, the VIN for Fords, Chevrolets, and other General Motors vehicles may be found on the driver's side door jamb. Open the driver's door and examine the pillar that joins the door to the automobile body. There should be a sticker there indicating the vehicle identification number (VIN) of your ride.

Locate Part Numbers Using the Make, Model, and Year

If you are unable to locate your vehicle's VIN, examine the back outside of the vehicle. A sticker, symbol, or badge should identify the vehicle's unique make, model, year, and trim. These characteristics may be used to hunt up a Chevy part number.
