Full Service History

You already know that Buick service near me preserves the life of your vehicle. Did you know that it also maintains its value? Besides a comprehensive approach to car care, Rick Weaver Buick GMC demystifies common industry jargon — like full service history (FSH) — so you can take better care of your car.

Full Service History Explained

Full service history is a designation given to vehicles that have met every manufacturer-recommended service interval. The service must be performed at a manufacturer-approved service center using genuine GM parts to be considered a full service history. If a service interval is skipped or the service wasn’t performed at an approved service center, it would be regarded as a partial service history instead.

What Makes Full Service History Important?

There are many reasons to consider purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. However, it can sometimes be challenging to determine the condition and service needs of the vehicle before you bring it home. When a car has a full service history, you’ll know that it was cared for according to the manufacturer’s recommendation and drives as close to new as possible.

FSH is useful for owners, too. If you intend to sell or trade-in your vehicle in the future, you’ll find that a comprehensive maintenance history helps your car retain its value, potentially making it worth more during the reselling process.

Here at Rick Weaver Buick GMC, you’ll find a wide range of new and pre-owned vehicles backed by expert service support. Learn more about how full service history planning can work in your favor during our dealership’s purchasing and selling processes.
