✅ Why a Paper Service Book in 2026?

The TCS describes a service book as useful evidence for warranty claims and an advantage when trading in or reselling a vehicle. A personal paper record can supplement a digital service book; it does not replace records from the manufacturer or garage (TCS Switzerland).

📋 What Does This Template Include?

Our PDF template includes all sections necessary for complete tracking in Switzerland:

📄 Page 1: Vehicle Identification

The template has fields for make and model, number plate, chassis number (VIN), first registration and owner. Fill in only information you know; do not enter 0 km when the mileage is unknown.

📅 Pages 2-4: Service History Table

Pages 2 to 4 each have 13 blank rows with fields for the date, mileage, work, garage, invoice number, cost and next due date. You can copy the details from each invoice.

📌 Tip: Use one line per service, even for small jobs. Together with invoices, mileage entries help reconstruct the vehicle's history.

📅 Page 5: Maintenance Plan for Your Vehicle

Maintenance intervals vary by vehicle and engine. The last page lets you note the schedule in your owner's manual or from the manufacturer. MFK inspection deadlines under VTS Article 33 depend on vehicle type; follow the notice from the cantonal road traffic office.
