I bought my car a couple of years ago and the previous owner gave me all the service/repair receipts from his own mechanic which spanned about 10 years. I just finished organizing them in a binder and would like to include anything that may have been done from the dealership. is this something i can just go there and ask for? do the dealer usualy charge for this? lastly, is there an alternative to the dealership as far as getting this info? thanks a lot.

When I bought my Touring I went to the dealer and asked one of their service guys. They typed in the VIN and spit out about 5 pages of history. Good luck.
