my old motor had full dealer history upto 60+k and then private after that. Did the servicing myself. However my new golf has fully stamp booked with fsh part main dealer part private garage. Now i am tempted to have it serviced at a local garage just so i can keep the book stamped as think this helps when selling the car, even though when i did work myself i kept all receipts and wrote the mileage and date when the work was carried out on it.
