service history from vin#?

[fiercecivic]

I just purchased a 2009 yukon slt, I am wondering if it is possible to check service records from the past to see what has been done to the vehicle at deakerships. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Carfax and the like will usually list information about this, but it's only as accurate as the information that they're provided. Many people, like myself, prefer to fix things on their own rather than pay someone (especially a dealership). Also, a lot of shops don't sell information to carfax, so just because it doesn't say something doesn't mean it hasn't happened. You can likely have a dealership check your vin for past warranty work, but I'm not sure if they retain info on other repairs or not.

GM has an owner's website that you can sign up for. Once you enter your VIN, you can check the service history. However, much like Carfax, it will only list what has been entered by any previous owners. I don't think that the dealerships update the records themselves. My Carfax report has tons of service history listed on it, while the GM owner's website had none.

Worth a shot though. https://my.gm.com

I have the carproof report that came with the vehicle, but i dont see any service history on report. Are carproof and carfax different databases?

Drew, how were you able to find that info?

Service departments and some other GM employees have access to the full warranty/service history of a vehicle, as long as it was performed at a GM dealership.It's not that difficult to get if you ask nicely cause there are always folks on GM forums that have access to the records, although it's usually better to ask before purchasing the vehicle rather than after.
