Yeah thats pretty neat alright...

 

thats a good idea. something to keep in mind when looking at a used vehicle!!

 

Just what sherm said.

 

and to find about the history of your current vehicle or any vehicle you have owned for curiosity

 

I think its a great idea. Im gonna type all my rides in there yet to see whats been done

 

Hopefully none of our rides show up....

 

i've checked mine through the dealer before... its had nothing but oil changes and the cruise control recall...

 

Thats normal. Im really curious about my 89. My PSD wont be on there because I got it from BC, and it was from calgary originally. The civic wont be on there because Its from Penticton originally and we seen the service records on it and bought it from North Van.

 

I don`t think this is anything new as it could have been done before thru SGI but it`s more convenient and so much easier now.

 

I do believe they used to charge money for it too when you went to get it done at SGI.

 

Just checked my '79 all clear. No records of any damage, sweet!!!

 

This only goes back to 1998 and onward. It does not tell you if the car has been in accidents from other provinces if the car has been brought here and registered. It also does not tell how bad an accident the car has been in, just a record of accident claims the car has been through. So those claims could be from just a minor scrape of a bumper on the door in a parking lot to a serious rollover, but does not tell you which..
It will not tell you if there are liens on the car.
It is a nice feature, before you had to take the serial number to SGI and pay a $10.00 fee for that info. That info use also give you previous owners, but I think privacy laws have stopped that now.
It is nice if your buying a car though.

 

Good info Glen, how did you find all of that out?

 

I two aquantenances that work at SGI.
