Definition
What is service history by VIN?
It is a VIN-specific export from manufacturer and authorized-service systems (when available) that lists documented visits inside the authorized network. Unlike generic history reports, these entries originate from service systems used during vehicle maintenance, so you may see job codes, mileage markers, and timestamps.
Auto.vin connects to OEM systems, retrieves available data for the VIN, and delivers the result as an online report plus a PDF.
Why dealers use it
- Proof of maintenance for listings and buyer verification.
- Supporting documentation for warranty or claims (when applicable).
- More transparency for remote buyers and exports.
- Helping resolve mileage inconsistencies with VIN-tied records (when available).

Clarity
OEM service history vs aggregated history reports
Both can be useful. OEM service history is VIN-tied workshop data when exposed by manufacturer systems. Aggregated reports compile information from various reporting sources.
Dimension
OEM service history
Aggregated reports
Source of data
VIN-linked records from OEM / authorized-service systems (when available)
Information aggregated from multiple reporting sources collected over time
Granularity
May include job codes, service outlet references, mileage markers, and notes (where exposed)
Often higher-level summaries; line-level workshop details may be limited
Coverage factors
Depends mainly on brand and model year, and on what OEM systems expose (often ~2012+ for digital history)
Depends on region and on the availability/quality of reporting sources
Typical delivery
Delivered after the OEM lookup (timing depends on the brand/system)
Often immediate access to an existing aggregated record
Use cases
Verification of service authenticity and VIN-tied workshop records
Broad ownership and incident snapshots where available

Troubleshooting
Why service history may be missing
If OEM systems return no entries, the report will clearly show that and list the most common reasons.
-
The vehicle was serviced outside the authorized network, so no entries exist in OEM systems.
-
VIN is very new and the record has not been published in the OEM systems yet.
-
Independent workshops do not push data back to the OEM network.
-
Portal downtime, security throttling, or additional verification during lookup (we retry and notify you).
-
Brand-specific or data-privacy restrictions for certain record types in OEM systems.

Coverage depends mainly on brand and model year, and on what OEM systems expose. For many mainstream brands with digital records (often ~2012+), at least basic visit entries may be available.
How long does it take to receive the report?
Single VIN orders often deliver in minutes. Some brands or data sets may take longer depending on the manufacturer systems queried.
What formats do I receive?
You get an online report plus a PDF that can be archived or shared.
Does the report include factory configuration (build sheet)?
At the moment, checkout provides the full OEM report. It always includes factory configuration (build sheet), and service history is included when available for the VIN.
