I have always changed my own oil & filter. We are currently looking for a newer "family car", and my wife is concerned that if I do the maintenance, there won't be a verifiable record of it. Maybe this is why the last time I took my 2010 Grand Caravan in to an area shop to have them look at an issue I didn't feel up to doing myself, they ranted on & on in the service report that it had been YEARS since the oil & filter had been changed. At the time I just figured they were looking at the little sticker that the car dealer had put on when I bought it. (I left it there because then I could see at a glance what the mileage and date was for the purchase.) So, my question is, How big of a deal is it if, when you sell your vehicle, there are no records available for general maintenance? (Like from a CarFax report, for instance.) Is there any way an individual could submit records of this type? Are there other agencies that compile that sort of info on vehicles? (I think my wife may have sort of latched onto this, possibly as a way to get me to stop doing this work myself.)
