How to Check Maintenance Records?

Viewing maintenance records can be done through the following methods: 1. Provide proof of ownership to the dealership for inquiry; 2. Use third-party inquiry tools by providing the VIN code. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The benefits of car maintenance are: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in excellent performance condition, ready for use at any time without worrying about technical issues; 2. Effectively improving the vehicle's efficiency and reducing the wear and tear of parts and tires; 3. Preventing sudden problems during driving, ensuring personal safety; 4. Reducing noise and environmental pollution.

I usually keep an electronic spreadsheet to record maintenance details, and my phone memo can also serve this purpose. If I go to a 4S shop, their system has complete records, and they can look it up by the license plate number. But the most convenient way is that many cars come with their own mobile apps. For example, my car is linked to the official app, and I can see every maintenance item and mileage record upon opening it. I remember when I sold my old car last time, the buyer specifically praised me for having complete maintenance records, with all paper receipts neatly pasted in a folder in chronological order. I suggest everyone get a work order after maintenance and take a photo to store in the cloud for safekeeping, after all, 4S shop data isn’t kept forever.

As someone who frequently handles such inquiries, I highly recommend three methods: First, check the maintenance manual in your car, as the dealership stamps and signs it after each service. Second, directly call the dealership where you purchased the car, provide the license plate and owner information to check the system records. Third, if you purchased a service package, the official app will have electronic records. A special reminder for those who have changed repair shops: data is not shared between different shops. Owners of older cars should note that records older than seven years may not be complete, making it especially important to keep your own receipts. I recommend scanning and archiving the receipts on the same day after each service, as details like oil filter models will be useful for future inspections.

Nowadays, which young person still flips through manuals for maintenance records? I just connect to my phone hotspot in the car and open the official brand app directly. With my domestic electric car, tapping 'My Car' in the app shows all historical maintenance records – it even remembers the exact date when the wipers were changed. Third-party maintenance platforms also have record-keeping features. Last time I booked service through a car care app, it automatically generated an electronic invoice. For used car buyers checking previous records, try searching 'vehicle history report' in payment apps – spending just over ten yuan can reveal insurance claims and dealership maintenance data, far more reliable than trusting a seller's pitch.
