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
