What is Full Service History?

Mercedes-Benz service is one of the most important steps you can take when it comes to maintaining and caring for your vehicle during ownership. It’s also one of the most important factors to consider when it comes time to purchase a pre-owned vehicle.

And that’s where full service history can come in. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles, we’re sharing all you need to know about full service history and why it’s important.

What is Full Service History?

Full service history is a history report on a pre-owned vehicle. If a vehicle has met every single service interval as recommended by the automakers, and the service has been performed by either the manufacturer or an authorized service center, that would qualify the vehicle has having a full service history.

If the vehicle has missed a service interval, then the qualification will be partial service history, instead. Vehicle service history will be provided either via the service booklet or through online records.

Why is Full Service History Important?

If you’re planning to sell or trade your vehicle in at some point, then you’ll want to aim for a full service history. That’s because the vehicle will retail for higher and maintain more of its value with a comprehensive history of service.

If you’re purchasing a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle, look for vehicles with full service history. A full service history report will tell you that the car has been well cared for and that it is running as smoothly and safely as possible.
