finally got to talk to people at the Dealers with my concerns, after speaking to his colleagues, the salesman assured me that it was not a made up copy but definitely the original. So why is there no vehicle info, PDI stamp and signature in the book? ‘Must have been overlooked’ says he. WHAT! TWICE! was my reply.
Well, I'm not surprised, although I'm not really sure how the can be so sure that it 'definitely the original'. Although it's most unsatisfactory for you, it's hard to prove otherwise, and probably does happen on a regular basis. That said, service records are also faked on a regular basis too, so it will always look suspect.
If it really bothers you, and I suspect it does, a carefully worded letter to Honda CS might be worthwhile. I would certainly repeat the assurances given to you by the dealership, and the explanation they have given, expressing your disappointment that a Honda dealership can be so lax as to allow a car to be sold new with a completely blank service book, and no evidence of a PDI.
It would be interesting to see if Honda simply instructed the dealership to fill in the missing bits, or say that it can't be altered. The missing PDI should be on the computer record, and I would also like to see the rest of the information recorded against the car, to make sure it all tallies with the incomplete service book you have.
