Why wouldn't you keep service history, receipts etc.?
Discussion
I have always kept on file every significant invoice for work done on any of my cars, whether a service book was present or not. Come selling-on time these are then shown to potential buyers to list the work done and finally passed on to the subsequent owner.
It's no great hardship to keep the documents safe (like utility bills, bank statements, etc.), so why do so few people do it? Even the service book and handbook seem to be considered optional extras these days. And don't get me started on the spare key....

Yeah, but you've bothered to organise a service/repair, probably drove the car there yourself (maybe together with a second car) and then paid the invoice, so why not keep it as a hard-copy record of the work done?
It's much easier to show someone the paperwork when they come to view, than expect them to faff about chasing the history by contacting dealers, independents etc.
