The Carfax report will typically indicate the selling dealer.
Even with this information, that dealer may not have been the servicing dealership on this vehicle. And there's limitations about what dealers can pull for service history. My service advisor has told me more than once that he can only see service history from the 4 year/50K mile warranty period, after that he has no visibility into service records, unless the work was done at his dealership.
At this point, most 2013 models have probably been serviced at a # of different shops over the years. Seems unlikely you'll find a complete list of service work, but I'd start with the Carfax to identify the selling dealership and go from there.
