Depending on the car I'm buying I place a high value on a service history. When I bought my FPV I wouldn't have bought it without a full service history from a reputable workshop. I couldn't care less if it had been previously owned by a mechanic who did his own servicing. If there's no recorded service history - no sale!
It's different for a cheaper second car around $10-12k or less in which case I'm not too fussed about sighting a full history provided its been serviced "recently" and is in good condition and in good mechanical order for its age and mileage which you can generally tell by a quick inspection. However I would pay a small premium for a full history everything else being equal. The person who buys my GT after me will be given a lever arch file full of servicing invoices (done every 6 months , 5,000 kms) , all paperwork on modifications done and any other work carried out and accessories purchased. The way I see it if I want and exepct a full service history so would plenty of others, including the next owner.
