Keeping a full service history?

    Hello,

    I have a warranty/service book for a Kia Cee'd. The car is out of warranty and I now do services with an independent garage, but I'd like to keep a full service history - if only to prove the car is not "clocked" to any potential buyer later.

    But in that book, room remains for recording only one service now. And I surely hope to be running this car for far more than 10,000 km (my current service interval).

    What should I do to keep the history going? Glue pages to the warranty book?

    You could probably buy a new service book either from a dealer or the likes of ebay and just continue getting it stamped. Of course a stamped service book is not the end all and be all, detailed invoices or receipts from the garage for the work done are more important than someone just stamping or writing on a service book.

    Keeping copies of NCT reports (with mileage noted) should go a long way to showing that your car isn't clocked.

    Service books are easily doctored anyway. You are paying for your services, so just keep copies of the invoices. A proper invoice has the date and mileage the work was done and an exact list of what was done, far better than a stamp in a book.

    Keep copies of all invoices for parts/work/servicing, and photocopy extra pages from the service book and slip them in. That's what I do, after fifteen annual services! While it is true that anyone can "forge" service history like that, in reality only a head-case would do it and besides, I don't care. :D
