You have to ask the previous owner to provide service history receipts.

Generally, only warranty repair work is reported to the manufacturer, and stored in their central database. This is only visible to an employee with a login. For example I can look up and warranty repair history for any Ford.

Service jobs are only stored in the computer of the specific dealer that did the work. I can see what service my store has done on a Ford, but I can't see what service other dealers have done.

I'm pretty sure Audi would be the same way. I would be very impressed if a Vancouver Audi employee can see the service history of an Audi from the states.
