I'll modify the above, it'll show any oil changes that your dealer did but other that, nothing under warranty!! It might show something that was out of warranty that you paid for.

Yes, all of my warranty work is there (2 visits). I didn't have any routine service done so don't know if that would have appeared. Description of warranty work is pretty minimal, like "electrical" for replacement of the battery vent door actuator.

On my next oill change I'll ask my dealer about the lack of warranty service history. I have limited access to Ford's Oasis system, just plug in the VIN and I can view the exact same info that appeared on the paperwork from the warranty work. Oil changes don't appear there.

Same here, my service visits are there, including my oil change a couple of weeks ago.

Well, excuse me! My one warranty visit is listed but since it doesn't describe the work performed, what good is it???

I have access to Ford's Oasis system but since I'm not using their IDS, some functions don't work properly or fully. I you can PM me your VIN, I'll see what I can find out for you.

I don't know, people are discussing if one can get the service history on a car, which would be of interest to you. But only if the previous owner used a Ford dealer for service.

As I said earlier. All I want to know is if this was a good deal. Assuming the State of Iowa does the routine services as most States, Counties or Citiy governments do.

I do all of my own servicing and there will never be any records of this on any of my vehicles so I rarely check on a vehicles service history. This vehicle was very clean so I assume they kept up the servicing.
