full service history

[sum-dj]

At the moment my car has full service history. Book been stamped etc. I've got a mate who's a qualified mechanic but doesn't work at a garage. He said he'll service my car for nothing. Obviously I'd have to buy the parts. Only problem is, I won't get the book stamped. Would people be put off if I came to sell it and book hadn't been stamped for a few years? What do you lot do on here?

It's a 2002 clio so I wouldn't be worried about having a stamp from a garage as long as the records are kept. Some people are strange though and neeeeeeeed to see a stamp even if the work hasn't been done properly!

Personally, I'd note it down in the service book when the service has been done, what's been done and keep ALL the receipts for the oil, filters etc.

It wouldn't put me off as when you're buying a car off someone as long as it has all the receipts.

Keep the receipts for the work.

staple the receipts to the service page, write down in the service box what was done etc, sign it and put your telephone number on it

job done

Receipts over a stamp, any day.

I agree, if it was written in and there was a folder of receipts to back it up I'd be more than happy.

I fill in the service book myself and keep receipts for oil, spark plugs etc.
