service records available??
Would anyone know if a Ford dealer can get particular info about a vehicle like service records, warranty repair info, and TSB's applied if the work was done at another dealership?
Looking at buying a used 2003 but the dealer that has the truck says it was not serviced/repaired at their dealership as it came in from another city. I kind of had the impression that all the dealership would have to do would be plug the vin number in to the computer and the vehicles whole repair history would be there to view.
Guess this would mean that Ford would have to maintain records for millions of vehicles so maybe not?
Never asked for this info before so no experience - anyone else?
Thanks!

IF the truck is used or new and been repaired at a Ford dealer or a buy back .They just have to punch the vin in to there system and a complete history pops up !
I would steer clear of a dealer who says otherwise
I seen this done lots of times.
