This is not unheard of. Some dealers have a policy that service/repair data is a personal record and so they don't want to share it with anyone except the owner.

Car repair record services are notoriously inaccurate. I don't know if they are subject to outright fraud on a regular basis but the data is often just plain wrong. Even more common is data that is missing - there could be many more repairs and even accidents that never show up on these reports.
