“A quick and convenient way of finding and downloading history if a car comes in without any but you know it should have.”
— Peter Simpson, Car Mechanics magazine
What your trade account includes
More than a lookup
Everything you need from buying the car to handing it over — in one account, at your desk or on your phone.
Coverage shown before you pay
Enter a vehicle and you see the make, model and how well that manufacturer is covered — before anything is charged.
No records, no charge
Your card is only authorised. If the manufacturer has nothing on file, it is released — and plan or credit checks go straight back to your balance.
Reports you can hand to a buyer
Download or email a PDF carrying just a discreet “Powered by” line — no banner. Export the service history alone, or include the MOT history.
Every report, searchable
Search by registration or VIN, filter delivered reports from no-data results, and reopen any report — links never expire.
Free service schedule by reg
The manufacturer’s schedule for that exact engine — oil, cambelt or chain, brake fluid — without using a credit.
Factory build sheet
Paint code, trim, gearbox and every factory-fitted option — £1.49 added to any check.
Add your own workshop records
Serviced it yourself? Add the record to the report — typed or photographed — clearly labelled with your business name for the buyer.
Logins for your team
Give staff their own login that shares your credits and check history. Just tell us who to add.
One statement a month
Every check you ran last month on one emailed statement — plus a downloadable invoice on each one.

Open any report without being bounced out to Safari, then get straight back to your history.

Optional add-on
See exactly how a car left the factory
The manufacturer’s own build record for that specific chassis — paint code, trim, gearbox and every factory-fitted option. Add it to any check you run for £1.49.
Paint
Daytona grey pearl effect (6Y)

Factory options
182 items
A real build sheet from a 2022 Audi A4 40 TDI quattro.
Write the advert once
The exact factory colour name and code, and the options list, straight from the manufacturer — no guessing from a photo or the last advert.
Appraise with confidence
Know whether the options pack the seller claims was actually fitted before you price the car, not after.
Settle it with a buyer
If a buyer doubts the spec is genuine, the answer comes from the factory record rather than from you.
£1.49 added to any check you run. However you pay for checks you can buy one — on a monthly plan it goes on your next invoice, otherwise it is a card payment. Or £1.99 on its own, without running a service history check.

Trade Pricing FAQ
Questions about dealer pricing
What happens when I run a check and no history is found?
You are not charged or debited. On pay-as-you-go, your card is authorised at checkout but the authorisation is cancelled — zero Stripe fees, no refund admin. On a monthly plan, the check is credited back to your allowance so it can be used on a different vehicle.
How does a monthly plan compare to pay-as-you-go?
Pay-as-you-go is £4.99 per check with no commitment. A monthly plan locks in a cheaper per-check rate (as low as £2.81 on Enterprise). Rough guide: Pro pays for itself from around 25 checks a month, Business from around 60, Enterprise from around 125. Unused checks don't roll over, so if your volume is unpredictable, stay on PAYG.
What if I run out of monthly plan checks mid-cycle?
You are not blocked. Extra checks automatically fall through to pay-as-you-go at £4.99 each. Your dashboard shows your plan balance separately so you always know when you have gone over.
Can I cancel or change my plan?
Yes. Cancel any time from your dashboard — you keep your remaining allowance until the end of the paid cycle. Upgrading mid-cycle takes effect immediately and Stripe prorates the bill. Downgrading takes effect at the next renewal.
Do unused monthly checks roll over?
No — monthly allowance is use-it-or-lose-it at the end of each cycle. If your volume is lumpy, pay-as-you-go at £4.99 may suit you better than a plan.
Can I run more than 220 checks a month?
Yes — for high-volume dealers we offer custom enterprise pricing. Email hello@findservicehistory.com with your monthly volume and we'll quote you a per-check rate.
How do I get my 3 free checks?
Create a free trade account, verify your dealer details, and 3 free checks are credited automatically. Free checks are only consumed when records are actually returned — if we find nothing, the free check stays on your account.
