Service Book missing stamp

Just bought a two year old Honda from a reputable dealer (not Honda).
The car has three year warranty (can pay for a 4th year) the dealer has serviced the car so the service book has his stamp for the 25,000 mile service point - the 12,500 service point is unstamped - will this invalidate the Honda warranty? The dealer says no!

Do you have a receipt for the service?
What does Honda's servicing computer say?
Any other evidence that the service was done?0 -
The dealer will tell you anything you need to hear to get the sale - sounds like you already have bought it though.
Speak to a Honda main dealer and ask them.0 -
If it was just a case of having a stamp in the book everyone would buy a rubber stamp kit - the records are computerised and a main dealer can check.Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0

Given the car is a Honda, I doubt you will ever need to call on the warranty, but check with a Honda dealer to see if they will honour the warranty just so you know. I doubt they will, if there is no evidence that the car was serviced around 12,500 miles by a VAT registered garage.
As a non-Honda dealer has serviced the car at 25,000, I would definitely get a Honda main dealer to service the car at 37,500. This will reduce the risk that important service items have been missed. Any recall issues can also be picked up.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
