Service History

Also known as maintenance history, service records.

Service history is the documented record of all maintenance and repairs performed on a car. A complete, dealership-stamped history is one of the highest-impact non-engine inputs to resale value — a fully-documented car typically commands a 5–10% premium versus an undocumented equivalent in the UAE market.
