Service History

API

Understand a vehicle’s service history

Our Service History endpoint allows developers to access data about a vehicle's past service appointments, including cost and service notes.

How businesses use service history

Independent repair shops

Understand prior maintenance for better future service scheduling to see when a vehicle was last serviced and for what.

Auto insurance

Set accurate rates based on a vehicle’s service history and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Car dealerships

Access detailed service reports, to see a vehicle's previous upkeep or issues. Improved valuation, accurate history data enable data-driven pricing and competitive lending rates.
