Dealership in the Bay Area for inspection + maintenance records
Hey fellas, is there any dealership in the bay area that can provide me with maintenance records? I picked up my car not too long ago just coming off warranty, but nobody ever handed me any records since it was at Carmax.
I've already called a dealership or two and they say that they can't give me maintenance records because it has previous owner info attached to it. Meanwhile, I'd be satisfied with a handwritten list at which services completed when. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!! |

I had the same experience. It was an LA based car originally (that got serviced at the same dealer as me) that ended up in AZ which I had bought and had the same experience. I had gotten all my maintenance done at the same dealer with my 435i before so I gave them a call before buying the M4. They wouldn't disclose the info.
Then after I bought the car, and needed to get it service, I asked again. Still wouldn't disclose. Could be dealers just don't do it. |

I got the maintenance records from BMW of Concord before I decided to purchase my M4 from them.
Prior to this purchase, I had explored an out-of-state lease takeover and the BMW dealer I spoke with about having a PPI done wasn't willing to share the PPI report with me (!). They said they would share the report with the owner (with whom they had a servicing relationship for that M4), and that it would be his prerogative whether or not to share it with me. My understanding is that the dealership doesn't want the liability of potentially causing a transaction to fall through. Not sure what the liability might be for the dealership in your case. If you're not buying from them, it will likely be tough to get past records unless someone does you a favor. |
