It is important that you present your vehicle registration, VIN number and drivers license. The VIN number can be found on the front, lower part of your dashboard. It can also be easily located on your vehicle registration and insurance card.

The key code is also very important. This can usually be found in your owner’s manual or the dealership may have it in their archive of receipts.
