So let’s set the record straight. Here are the most common myths buyers fall for — and the facts that Glovbox backs up with verified service records and trusted inspections.

FACT: A spotless exterior tells you nothing about service history.

Even a gleaming 4WD can hide a worn-out transmission or skipped timing belt. That’s why you should always request a Glovbox Proof of Service Report. It compiles service records from the seller’s Digital Logbook — whether uploaded manually or by verified workshops — and reveals how the car was truly cared for.

FACT: If it’s not verified, it’s just a story.

Glovbox eliminates the guesswork with Comprehensive Reports, which include workshop-verified receipts uploaded directly by mechanics. These are tamper-proof, timestamped, and traceable — everything you want when you’re trusting a stranger’s word with your wallet.
No verified receipts? No report? That’s a red flag.

FACT: A test drive can’t detect everything.

Hidden issues like worn suspension, electrical gremlins, or frame damage require a professional inspection.
Glovbox makes that easy with its nationwide booking system — over 275 trusted workshops are available to book a pre-purchase inspection directly through the app.

Sophie, a Perth buyer, booked an inspection on a used wagon. The verified history and clean check gave her the confidence to buy — and avoid a $3,000 engine surprise.

FACT: Private sales offer zero protection — no warranty, no cooling-off period.

That’s why Glovbox’s Proof of Service Reports are your private sale safety net.
They offer dealer-level documentation in a single, secure link you can review before wasting time on a test drive. Sellers who include a Glovbox report often get better offers, too — Sophie’s seller made $2,200 more just by being transparent.

Ask for a Glovbox Proof of Service Report before meeting the seller.
Look for verified receipts from workshops, not handwritten notes.
Book a pre-purchase inspection using Glovbox’s verified workshop network.
If the report’s missing, the score is low, or the seller dodges your questions — walk.

Buying used doesn’t have to mean buying blind.
In a market where lemons hide behind perfect paint jobs, verified service history is your most powerful tool.
FCAI, AutoGuru, and Choice all emphasize the value of proper documentation.
Glovbox makes it easy to access the records, book trusted inspections, and make confident choices.
