How to Check a Car's Maintenance Records?
2 Answers
Provide the vehicle owner's proof materials to the dealership for inquiry. The vehicle record systems of dealerships under the same brand are all nationally networked. You need to bring the owner's identification, purchase invoice, and other relevant documents to the dealership's after-sales service. The dealership will retrieve the vehicle's related maintenance records. Information about car maintenance is as follows: 1. Car maintenance refers to the process of providing comprehensive care for the vehicle using specialized materials and products tailored to the maintenance requirements of different parts made from various materials. 2. Car maintenance covers the engine, transmission, chassis, cooling system, fuel system, and other areas.
Last time I helped a friend check the used car maintenance records, it took several steps. The most straightforward way is to go to the 4S store, bring the vehicle license and owner's ID, and the staff will retrieve the system records—usually data within the last 10 years is available. You can also check the maintenance manual yourself, as the green book often includes repair receipts at the back. On your phone, search for the 'Automotive Health Records' official account on Alipay, bind the vehicle, and you can access some data. If buying a used car, the most reliable method is to ask the previous owner for maintenance invoices or electronic records. Apps like 'Car Inspection Report' can also help—pay around 20 yuan, enter the VIN, and get a report. However, be aware that small shops often don’t upload records, so it's best to cross-check information through multiple channels.
