ServiceStamp is bringing U.S. used-car buyers and sellers a VIN check that pulls dealership maintenance data from automaker systems rather than relying on seller paperwork. The $14.99 search gives American users a direct read on whether a vehicle was serviced within the OEM network, a detail standard history reports often miss.
Coverage starts with model-year 2012 vehicles, when dealer visits were commonly tied to VIN-based manufacturer records. Depending on the brand, a report may show a full service trail or workshop notes tied to recalls and warranty work, helping buyers spot gaps before paying for an inspection. The reports are now available across the U.S. and arrive within seconds.
At $14.99 per check, manufacturer-sourced service history turns maintenance verification into a routine part of a used-car appraisal instead of a guess. U.S. availability also gives private sellers and independent dealers access to the same record trail that franchised service desks use.
