Service History
The service history is the record of maintenance and repairs done on a vehicle.
What is Service History?
It can be a stamped book or digital record. Invoices support it. It affects resale value. Many brands now store service records digitally, so dealers can look them up by VIN. A complete history helps with warranty and goodwill claims and makes a car easier to sell. Records should show dates, mileage, work done and parts or fluids used.
How it works
Records show what was done and when.
Why it matters for your car
Gaps can be a warning sign. Keep receipts.
