Is there anyway of finding out a cars service history?

[boobles]

I mean if you have no proof of receipts or even the name of the garage who has serviced it?
I am missing a couple & wondered if there was a way of finding this info out....

The garage I bought the car from have told me that they got a specialist to service it as this was part of the deal but they have ignored my plea to get this info from them. As it stands I do not know if they had it serviced or not & this worries me because if it wasn't done, it needs to be done. I could just get it serviced I know but as this was part of the agreement I feel they could provide me with some proof.

Main dealer histories are computerised so you can get a full Ford SH for example from a Ford dealer but any independents won't be linked in.

The trouble is, some of it isn't main dealer & I am really only after the last one to prove it has been done.

No, not really then. Other than if you could find out who the garage was and ask them.

The garage I bought the car from have completely ignored my emails & when I drove there I was told that they would send something through the post. I never did get anything & this was 9 weeks ago. I will give them another call & ask them for the name of the garage who serviced it & deal with them directly.

So if they can't prove it was serviced but I have it in writing as part of the agreement that they would get it done, is there anything I can do?

But having "records" is vital to when I go to sell it in my opinion. If I say there is no proof but you will just have to take my word for it, people will just walk away. Service records are vital in my opinion.












I have no plans to sell the car just yet by the way

Good advice

But I had no reason to walk away as the service was part of the agreement & you expect these place to honour that...

Just spoke to the owner of the garage & he assures me that something will be sent to me within the next couple of weeks.
I do hope so.

A couple of weeks to photocopy or print something?

They are taking the piss.

This is also my concern. I have asked for the name of the garage who serviced it. I wait the reply.

Yeah right.

Have you looked at the filters as was mentioned earlier ?

Have they been changed or not ?

Don't no. Been at work all day.

Well check and then as soon as you've confirmed that they haven't we can tell you what to do next.

Will have an answer first thing in the morning. I will check first thing.

All filter look in great condition which would suggest it has been serviced. If they can send me the receipt out, great!

What does this service in question actually consist of?

Is it just fluids and filters?

It was the 80k service which is a "biggy" as they called it.

Just lots of checks I think along with the usual service.

Just received a txt from the garage owner saying "service invoice in post".....
