Be careful with bumper. They automatically sign you up for a monthly fee of about $29 or so if you forget to cancel (like I did). I finally caught it 4 or 5 months later. Shame on me, but did get them to credit back 3 of the charges when I called. Didn't give me any more info than Carfax or Auto check.Head over to the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System. gov site, there are a list of approved vendors that you can get info at least a good or better than Carfax. One of the first listed, (I think it is called bumper) you can get a week trial for a buck, and it let's you run a bunch of title checks during your trial.
Most info will be incomplete, but it's certainly worth pocket change
I'm not defending the company, but it is a one week trial. Not remembering to cancel after 1 week and not catching it for 4 or 5 months is on you. Every trial that you give a credit card will auto renew. But getting 50 vin checks for a buck is a better value than $25 for 1. I used it to check a couple vehicles, and when my alarm went off 6 days later I canceled. Just sayingBe careful with bumper.

Good advice. The only thing the dealer won't give you is the name and address of the current owner, but any service by a CDJR dealer is in their computer, including non-warranty maintenance and repairs.Do you take your truck to the dealer for service? If so, the dealer would have a record, even if it was serviced by other Chrysler dealerships. If you've owned it since new they might show you or even (possibly) print them out. If it was independent shops, then that's another matter.
When I bought my pickup many yrs ago, I went to the dealer who tapped in the vin to see what had been done. I think I had to show them the registration (or maybe the title??) and my ID. They turned the monitor around and let me read through the service details line by line. It was minor things like oil changes, fluids, light bulb changes, etc & a few recalls that were performed. There wasn't anything "interesting", so I didn't even ask to have a print-out. I never bothered with a Carfax.
If I was worried, 44 bucks is a lot less than any repairs. Heck, it's cheaper than a dinner for 3 at McDonald's. When I was shopping for a used truck I bought a years subscription to Carfax. It was cheaper than 3 requests.Just wondering if there is anyway to get service records besides carfax. My truck according to carfax is showing 31 records, Id like to see them but it's 44 bucks lol
