VIN Scanner

VIN Decoder built for dealers

Scan a VIN barcode and Wheelbase decodes the full vehicle in seconds, then auto-populates the record and feeds it straight into inventory and reconditioning.

Wheelbase inventory tracking populated from scanned VINs

Scan, decode, done

Three steps take a VIN from a barcode on the glass to a complete vehicle on file.

1

Scan the barcode

Point your camera at the VIN barcode on the door jamb, windshield, or paperwork. Wheelbase reads it instantly, no typing 17 characters by hand.

2

Decode the VIN

The 17 characters become full vehicle details: year, make, model, trim, body, engine, and drivetrain, all resolved in a single step.

3

Auto-populate the vehicle

The decoded specs fill in the vehicle record for you, so you start with a complete file instead of an empty form and a fistful of guesswork.

No re-entry

One scan feeds everything

A scanned VIN does not stop at the decode. The vehicle flows into your inventory and, the moment you buy it, into reconditioning, so the same record follows the car from the lane to the front line.

  • Scan the VIN barcode instead of typing 17 characters
  • Full vehicle details decoded in a single step
  • Decoded vehicle flows into inventory and recon

What you get

A VIN scanner and decoder built to put complete vehicles on file fast and keep them moving.

Instant barcode scan

Read the VIN barcode off the glass or door jamb in one tap. No transposed digits, no manual entry, no slowdown at the lane.

One-step decode

Year, make, model, trim, body, engine, and drivetrain resolve from the VIN in a single step, so the full vehicle is on file in seconds.

Auto-populated records

Decoded details fill the vehicle record automatically, so you never start from an empty form or re-key specs by hand.

Feeds inventory

Every scanned vehicle flows straight into your inventory, ready to track, price, and check against what you need in stock.

Feeds reconditioning

Buy a scanned car and the same record carries into recon, so inspection and recon tasks start from a vehicle that is already on file.

One record, end to end

The vehicle you scan is the same record that follows the car from the lane to the front line, with no re-entry along the way.

VIN decoder questions

A VIN decoder for dealers turns a vehicle's 17-character VIN into full vehicle details, the year, make, model, trim, body, engine, and drivetrain, in a single step. Wheelbase pairs a VIN scanner with that decode, so you can scan the barcode on a windshield or door jamb and have the whole vehicle on file in seconds.
