So today I got this email from the dealer where I bought my car:
I did some poking around, and it seems like it's legit. Dealers report service visits to Carfax, and customers can use it as a maintenance record. Carfax sells it to the dealer as a way to increase service department visits.
So it's not a scam, but I'm still not sure I want it. I don't intend to go back to that dealer for anything, and I don't want to encourage them to spam me. OTOH the maintenance record should be valid no matter what dealer does the service.
Anyone else here get this offer and take them up on it? Do you find it useful?
