So is there a way for the prospective buyer to query this log?
And can't it be marked as done without doing the work?
- HWR_14 3y agoApparently, this is still mostly done via paper records. I believe either electronic or paper records are easy to forge. However, that gets into "technically possible, but unlikely". After all, what you are suggesting is that the Hertz (or other large rental) company, to save a marginal amount of money, will commit widespread fraud and risk the massive lawsuit from faking records and then using those records to convince people to buy cars? Meanwhile, they risk damage to a car keeping them from renting it out while it's repaired. And the cost of standard maintenance is probably less than they make in the day or two it's out of service.
- SoftTalker 3y agoLooking at how they run their rental business, and the staffing at agencies and airport desks, yes I think they would cut corners on maintenance also.
- HWR_14 3y agoCut corners to make money, sure. Fake the maintenance documentation, not so much?
