IMO, the service records should be tied to the vehicle. Not only are these records important, but they have the history of the car. Airplanes have log books and EVERYTHING is required to be entered.
My opinion is that cars should have the same requirement. It would help eliminate salvage cars being passed as just used, falsified repair records and other improprieties....

I do not think 'privacy laws' should allow the car records to be tied to the individual, but to the car itself.

If you buy a house, it is required that the owner disclose any problem.
