So this is a two part query that really has to do with the online sites for Honda owners. From what I can see, there are two online owner sites - my.honda.com and owners.honda.com. They both seem to offer general information but despite allowing the user to register and spitting back their model, body style, paint color and VIN numbers, they really don't seem to yield much more info than any general site would (eg. download manuals, explore features, yada yada.)
I am asking about this because when I received a brochure with my new car inviting me to "Join the club" at owners.honda.com, it said that "Once registered, you can stay up to date with your vehicle's service records..." So I assumed I would find downloadable service records for my car. Nope. I have to manually enter each item in. Am I missing something? Because it seems that copying paper records into a form to keep as another record is so 1995. I'd actually be better off copying my service records to an Excel Spreadsheet which could then give me useful macros and running tallies on between-oil change mileage, miles since last tire rotation, etc.
So that begs me to question why there are two separate sites requiring two separate login accounts - owners.honda.com and my.honda.com - while neither yields more than general information. Given the VIN-specific information generated at Honda service centers, one would think that practical account-specific tools that track more meaningful interactivity between the Honda service department and the Honda owner would be a logical step. Both sites after all have all our info right down to the VIN number, so it's not like adding service record uploads would violate anything more sacred.
