Or service record, or anything along those lines. You could also leave out "customer".

service and maintenance record (booklet)


Explanation:
Not all cars necessarily have these booklets anymore. Nowadays, the information is recorded digitally and can be accessed via the web.
Buick, e.g., asks the owner to record the service and maintenance information in the owner manual:
Original Wording from Buick Owner Manual Page 361
Maintenance Records
After the scheduled services are performed, record the date, odometer reading, who performed the service, and the
type of services performed in the boxes provided. Retain all maintenance receipts.
