I called my dealer to arrange a service for my 91 Accord, which just
turned 100,000. The service person says that they don't have any
records for the car and explained that the system wipes records for
any car that hasn't be serviced in six months.
I'm a computer programmer and nothing is cheaper than disk space these
days, and I could likely fit all of the maintenance records of all the
Accords in the US on one of my PCs. It just doesn't make any sense
that they would wipe out stuff.
I don't do much maintenance of the car at the dealer, but the car was
originally bought there by the previous owner and I have had it there
several times. The original owner had all of the maintenance done
there. |

As a computer programmer, it would be a no sweat job for you to make a
spreadsheet detailing all the work done on your car. Besides being a backup
for the idiot dealer, it makes a good selling point when you want to get rid
of the car.

I'll go you one better. I leased my Accord in December of 2000, four
years later I purchased the car from Honda Canada. The maintenance records
of the vehicle (in fact its very existence) was wiped out of Honda's system
due to the privacy laws here. It's a good thing that I have every piece of
paper regarding the servicing of the car stored in hard copy here at home. >> Stay informed about: Honda dealer wipes out my maintenance records? |

Sounds odd. More likely their disk crashed six months ago and they
had no backup!

I had the same thing happen here in N.E.Ohio. I happen to have a
"lifetime" replacement muffler on my '92 Accord, and the dealer doesn't
keep records .
I got a three ring binder, and have kept the originals of ALL the
expenses for the car. Comes in very handy, and has helped me get three
free mufflers and one new radiator! bob >> Stay informed about: Honda dealer wipes out my maintenance records? |

There are plenty of programs out there that already do this and I'll
admit to just being too lazy (I'll be nice to myself and say "too
busy"). I do keep all the paper and eventually it ends up in a folder.
It just seems so odd that they "routinely" wipe the records. If so, it
makes no sense, and if not, then I don't like being lied to. If they
lie about that, then they'll lie about other stuff. >> Stay informed about: Honda dealer wipes out my maintenance records? |

I called one of the local Honda dealers to schedule a maintenance this
morning, and I had been there for maintenance last year. It sounded
like they almost didn't want my business. He asked what I wanted to
do. I said "scheduled maintenance." Then he said "what kind?" and I
said I had been there a year ago, and he said they don't keep good
records so they might not know what to do. But finally he said he
would schedule me and they would look at it. WTH? >> Stay informed about: Honda dealer wipes out my maintenance records? |

I've registered my last two Hondas on ownerlink and no maintenance records
ever appeared there save the entries I put in it myself. Its no different
than a personal spreadsheet.

The dealer just isn't holding up his part of the deal as that is what you
are paying him for.

Ask them to prove that you have possession of a car supposedly leased
from them. >> Stay informed about: Honda dealer wipes out my maintenance records? |
