Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common frequently asked questions

What is CarServiceHistory.co.uk?

CarServiceHistory.co.uk helps you retrieve missing service records for your car, adding value whether you’re selling or keeping it. We provide instant access to our extensive database, and if records aren’t available, we’ll reach out to the relevant businesses on your behalf to obtain the information.

How does CarServiceHistory.co.uk work?

Enter your vehicle’s registration number, and we’ll scan our database for any existing service records. If they’re not available, our system identifies the businesses your car has visited, and we’ll contact them directly via email to gather the missing information for you.

Is it difficult to find my car’s service history?

Not at all! We either provide records directly from our database or reach out to over ~9,000 registered UK garages to retrieve them for you. Our goal is to make the process as simple and efficient as possible.

How much does the service cost?

Our standard service is priced at £29.99. If you’re in a hurry, you can opt for our fast-track service for an additional £7.99, which prioritises your search. For those seeking the highest level of service, our premium option at £149.99 includes a dedicated case manager who will personally oversee your request.

How much value does a Full Service History add to my vehicle?

A Full Service History (FSH) can add up to 25% more value to your vehicle. It provides proof of regular maintenance, making your car more appealing to buyers and reducing the risk of costly repairs for the new owner. Without FSH, buyers are likely to negotiate a lower price.

How long does it take to find the service history of my car?

In most cases, we can find your car’s service history instantly through our database. If the records aren’t immediately available, a full investigation may be required, which can take up to 14 days as we reach out to relevant businesses and garages to gather the missing information.

Can you find service records for cars with private plates?

Yes, we can. Our system checks for any plate changes and searches all associated plates in our database. If needed, we contact garages to locate the service records, ensuring comprehensive coverage even for vehicles with private plates.

What if I have some of my service history or I'm only missing one year?

If you already have some of your service history or are only missing specific records, you can upload the information you have into our system. This allows us to narrow down the search window, making the process faster and more efficient. By providing us with the data you already possess, we can focus on locating only the missing records, leading to a quicker turnaround. At the end of the service, we’ll compile all your service records into a downloadable and printable PDF, giving you a complete and professional service history document for your vehicle.

Why is it important to find your full service history?

A full service history can add up to 25% more value to your car. It’s a key indicator that the vehicle has been properly maintained, making it more attractive to buyers. Missing records can raise concerns about potential neglect or hidden issues, which may reduce the car’s appeal and price.

What is Full Dealer Service History?

Full Dealer Service History (FDSH) indicates that the vehicle has been serviced exclusively by the manufacturer’s dealerships, ensuring a high standard of care and authenticity in maintenance.

What is Full Service History?

Full Service History (FSH) confirms that the car has undergone all recommended services, including both major and interim ones, with records from main dealers and approved independent garages.

What is Part Service History?

Part Service History (PSH) indicates that some service records are missing or that the vehicle hasn’t consistently received all key services. This may affect the perceived reliability and value of the car.

What does No Service History mean?

No Service History means there are no available records showing the car’s maintenance history. While this doesn’t necessarily mean the car was never serviced, it raises questions about its upkeep, potentially lowering its resale value.

What is an Interim Service?

An interim service is a basic maintenance check designed to keep your car running smoothly between major services. It typically includes essential checks like oil changes but doesn’t cover more extensive work like timing belt replacements.

How do I start the process?

To begin, simply enter your car’s registration number on CarServiceHistory.co.uk. We’ll check our records and, if necessary, contact the relevant businesses to retrieve your service history. You can also choose our fast-track or premium service for an even better experience.
