SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING
SERVICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The Appointment
If you are having warranty work done, be
sure to bring the right papers with you, as
well as your warranty folder. All work to
be performed may not be covered by the
warranty. Discuss additional charges with
the service manager. Keep a maintenance
log of your vehicle's service history, as
this can often provide a clue to the
current problem.
Prepare A List
Make a written list of your vehicle's
problems or the specific work you want
done. If you've had an accident or work
done that is not on your maintenance log,
let the service advisor know.
Be Reasonable With Requests
If you list a number of items and you must
have your vehicle by the end of the day,
discuss the situation with the service
advisor and list the items in order of
priority. At many authorized dealers, you
may obtain a rental vehicle at a minimal
daily charge. If you need a rental, it is
advisable to make these arrangements
when you call for an appointment.

dealer are vitally interested in your
satisfaction. We want you to be happy
with our products and services.

authorized dealer. We strongly

dealer have the facilities, factory-trained
technicians, special tools, and the latest
information to ensure the vehicle is fixed
correctly and in a timely manner.
This is why you should always talk to an
authorized dealer service manager first.
Most matters can be resolved with this
process.
If for some reason you are still not
satisfied, talk to the general manager or
owner of the authorized dealer. They
want to know if you need assistance.
If an authorized dealer is unable to
resolve the concern, you may contact the
manufacturer's customer center.
