Great VIN plugin. Seems to work well so far and code is lightweight. It passes Googles CWV lighthouse tests with scores in the 90s+. Going to try the Pro version soon! See their demo to test for yourself on their website. Seems like a lot of the other comments are having trouble with 3rd party resources.

I paid for the premium on this plugin and it still takes 4 or 5 days for a response. The plugin pulls info from the sources, but doesn’t populate anything with the information. This plugin, and the associated templates need a LOT of work before they would be worth any money. I asked for a refund, and guess what? Never heard back.

Vin decoder worked fine for a while then it stopped. I am using it in a automotive theme from Gorilla themes. I have contacted Gorilla themes numerous time over months no support no answers no help whatsoever. I paid for premium support from WordPress the support people could not figure it out either also reached out to Gorilla themes to no avail. I even bought a new theme from Gorilla themes still doesn’t work still no support. I believe my problem is with gorilla themes not necessarily the Vin decoder. regardless the site doesn’t work and there’s no support. I would have expected more from WordPress in so far as they are selling these products with no support. Very disappointed
