How do I look up a car's service records?
How It Works
Three Simple Steps
Enter Your VIN
Type in your 17-character VIN — it takes seconds.
We Check Official Records
We query manufacturer dealership databases — the same systems used by franchised dealers.
Receive Your Report In Minutes
Most reports land in your inbox within minutes of payment — full digital service history, ready to download or print.
Why Trust Us
Verification, not guesswork
Service history is only useful if the data is real. Here's what we do — and don't do — to keep it that way.
Official manufacturer systems, not scraped data
We query the same official manufacturer dealership systems the franchised dealers use. No scraped sources — the records you see are the records a dealer would see.
Honest about what we can and can't find
If a car has only been serviced at independent shops, those records usually aren't in the manufacturer's system — and we tell you that upfront, not after payment.
You don't pay unless we find records
Your card is authorized at checkout but not charged. If we find nothing, the authorization is canceled — not refunded, never taken. No refund admin, no waiting for money to come back.
Coverage grows with the manufacturers
Full dealer records for BMW and MINI — warranty and recall records for Porsche, and workshop remarks for Jeep. New makes are added as manufacturers open their systems. The coverage level is shown for your VIN before you spend.

Manufacturer Records
We access service records directly from the manufacturers' dealership systems. In the United States that currently means BMW and MINI in full, with warranty and recall records for Porsche and workshop remarks for Jeep — if a make isn't listed, we don't hold its records here yet.

What We Don't Check
We believe in being upfront about what our service covers — and what it doesn't.
Independent Shop Records
We only access franchised dealership systems. Services performed at independent shops are not included in our reports.
Title / Lien Checks
We do not check liens, salvage or rebuilt titles, theft records, or insurance claims. For this, use a dedicated vehicle history report.
Private Sale History
Ownership transfer details and previous-owner history are not part of this service. We focus exclusively on service records.
Warranty Claims
Manufacturer warranty claims are tracked separately from service records and may not appear in our reports.

Full Service History (2 brands)
BMW, Mini
Workshop Remarks (1 brand)
Jeep
Limited Coverage (1 brand)
Porsche
Other makes are not covered yet — we say so before you pay. If no service history is found for your vehicle, your card is not charged, whatever the coverage level.
Reports are typically delivered to your email within minutes of payment. In rare cases, it may take up to a few hours depending on the manufacturer system response time.
No. Your card is authorized at checkout but not actually charged. If we find service history we capture the payment; if we find nothing we cancel the authorization — you're never charged, no refund admin. Not all vehicles have electronically recorded service history, particularly older models manufactured before 2012.
We access data directly from Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer databases — the same systems used by franchised dealerships. This means the records are official and verified.
Yes. We use Stripe for payment processing (PCI-DSS compliant) and do not store your card details. Your email and vehicle details are only used to deliver your report and are handled in accordance with our privacy policy.
