Where was my Civic built?
Apparently there are two different model numbers of brakes at Advance Auto and they want to know where my car was built? How do I find out? I'm sure it's in the VIN somehow?

What's the first letter/number?

That tells you origin.

Re: Where was my Civic built?
First character in the VIN tells the country it was built in.

1, 4, 5 are USA
2= Canada
3=Mexico
J=Japan
