Faked service records?

could it be that the original books were missing, and they filled in a new book with info from their service system?
 
Does it really matter as I don't think they are approved repairers in any case.

I would just have the vehicle services and checked first off by a reputable repairer and take it from there.

Edit I was wrong they are RMI approved

Judging by the stamps there is a chance it is legit, if it was done in succession the same dull and dark parts would show on every press of the stamp

Recently (in April) bought a small car to drive around town.

Upon inspecting the service book in detail this morning I came across something that looks really, really dodgy.

Surely a pen cannot look that similar over the course of 4 services... It literally looks like it was all completed one shot, with semi convincing milage at time of service.

And no Job card number either.

Am I over thinking it?

They were done at different time intervals. The ink levels on the Stamp differs.

Ok I changed, it’s all done on the same day, the angle of the first two stamps are exactly the same
 
It’s not unheard of for service books to get lost and replaced and then all stamped at once from the computer records.

I have never seen a Job Card populated in any service book.

The stamp marks do look unique and the characters aren’t exactly the same across all the hand writing even with the pen being similar.

Audi doesn't even give you a service book anymore from what I have heard, everything is digital.

Correct. I didn't even get a service book with my car but they did email me the service record.

Ya BMW each time did not stamp my book, I took it in to them get stamped each time, as they just said on the system which it is , but I wanted my booked stamped.

Why though?
 
I always err on the side of caution and before buying a car, get the vin number. With that, I phone 3 dealerships in 3 different provinces and ask for the printout. I feel like the odds of two dealerships being dodgy about the same thing are low, but the odds of three are even lower. It literally only 20 minutes of your time
