Default What service do I need

My car was registered March 2004, I purchased it in September 2006, service history so far:

March 2005 @ 9526 miles
March 2006 @ 17395 miles
Sept 2006 @ 20038 miles

Do I wait until September for the next sevice schedule @ 36k possibly missing the 27k service?

My only reason for asking is because I brought the car from a Main Dealer and usually they just change the oil and filter when they sell cars.

I am totally confussed and not sure what to do for the best.

Did they do the 27k in September or was it just an oil change?

<edit>

I would think it might have just been the 6 monthly oil change / checkover. If that is all it was then def do the 27k service immediately (late) and then do the 36k in March 2008.

The 27k is the big service compared to the others therefore you cannot skip it for the 36k if you are unsure whether or not it was done in September.

Service guide here

That's what I am worried about, I have asked the dealer to send me a copy of the service sheet, but I suspect they only changed the oil and filter

The 27k is a bigger service though isn't it? Like Nick says I bet they only did fluid/filter changes!

Honda Dealer who did the service in Sept should have what they did on their computer. Also in your service book is the stamp in the 3 year/27k or is it in the optional box? That will pretty much clear it up.

Check all that before you pay out for it (again if already done).

The service book has been stampted, but the stamp is in the middle of both, so it is not clear if they did the optional 6 months oil change or the 27k service.

If they keep all records on computer, I will ring them again on Monday and ask them to tell me over the phone what they actually did.
