Adz The Rat 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Had my oil changed 2 weeks ago so thought I best stamp the service book to keep it looking good (my car has full service history from new, most of it main dealer stamps) but I cant find my book anywhere!!! Going to pull my bedroom apart now, its either here or somewhere at work. Hope I find it. If I was going to sell it, does it really help havin a fully stamped book? I have got a folder full of receipts here for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
was8v 0 Posted October 8, 2008 It all helps - some people see it as the be all and end off of service records. However anyone who knows anyone that works at a car dealer knows the service stamp gets used by employees and their mates casually. You can order a new one from VW and they will stamp it with the services they have a record of. I'd prefer to see reciepts than a stamped service book tbh, unlikely tho at the age our cars are.

Adz The Rat 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Yea I would rather see receipts too, you can look at exactly what has been done then I suppose. Got some with mine that go back to 1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted October 8, 2008 If I was going to sell it, does it really help havin a fully stamped book? I have got a folder full of receipts here for it I would be severely worried about the mental health of someone who refused to buy what in best cases will be a 12 year old car simply because you don't have a fully stamped service book. A big pile of receipts is far more inidicative of a car's health (or rather - maintenance) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
