Thread: How to find or get maintenance records on old euro cars.

    How to find or get maintenance records on old euro cars.

    I think the German government has something they call Data Protection policy where a particular dealer ( Porsche Zentrum Karlsruhe) that did some of the maintenance cannot release copies of their records due to privacy issues.

    This is a new European law since May 2018 (General Data Protection Regulation); Dealers don't disclose vehicle info on maintenance, etc. due to privacy restrictions. If you can prove the car is yours, they're usually willing to provide the info; Though I've heard many dealers simply state you need to visit them in person, in order to see the data. They're not sending copies/prints/scans. I'd assume they're more willing when it is about a very old car (and then they still need to do you a favor..).

    but and if.....
    non used datasets more then 10 years of age mostly do get deleted.
    tax law allows to do so....
    So if it is a 30year old car, you unlikely might find anything.

    US dealers won't share paperwork either. It's discarded when a car is traded in or bought. Privacy liability issues.
