Service history
A service book is the documentation of a car's scheduled services, repairs and mileage over time. It is usually digital today, kept by the importer or the workshop. Complete service history directly affects resale price and is required by many warranty and leasing agreements.
Missing service history is one of the most common reasons for a price reduction on a used car. The buyer cannot verify what was done, and the dealer cannot document it.
History is also an aftersales tool: it shows what falls due next and lets you call the customer in on a concrete basis instead of a generic reminder.
For a dealer buying ex-lease cars or trade-ins, service history should be pulled alongside registry data before the car is priced.
