Mike - what specifically are you looking for? If just what warranty work has been done, build date, etc., your local GM dealer can do that for you and should be no charge.

If you want any accident records or something like that, you'll probably need a CarFax report which will cost a little money.

Local GM dealer can run the VIS for you. At the same time you can request the build sheet with the RPO codes. Good info to have.

Orrr....... if just a VIN verification for a sale or transfer of purchase agreement, your local Police Department would be able to do that.

If you need a vehicle history report send me a PM with the vin and I'll run it, I have unlimited reports for another couple weeks.
