Scheduling Service
Appointments
When your vehicle requires warranty
service, contact your dealer/retailer
and request an appointment.
By scheduling a service appointment
and advising your service consultant
of your transportation needs, your
dealer/retailer can help minimize
your inconvenience.
If your vehicle cannot be scheduled
into the service department
immediately, keep driving it until it
can be scheduled for service,
unless, of course, the problem is
safety-related. If it is, please
call your dealership/retailer, let them
know this, and ask for instructions.
If the dealer/retailer requests
you to bring the vehicle for service,
you are urged to do so as early
in the work day as possible to allow
for the same day repair.

Courtesy Transportation
To enhance your ownership
experience, we and our participating
retailers are proud to offer Courtesy
Transportation, a customer
support program for vehicles with
the Bumper to Bumper (Base
Warranty Coverage period in
Canada), extended powertrain, and
hybrid specic warranties in both
the U.S. and Canada.
Several courtesy transportation
options are available to assist
in reducing your inconvenience
when warranty repairs are required.
Courtesy Transportation is not a
part of the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. A separate booklet
entitled “Warranty and Owner
Assistance Information” furnished
with each new vehicle provides
detailed warranty coverage
information.
Transportation Options
Warranty service can generally
be completed while you wait.
However, if you are unable to wait,
Saturn helps to minimize your
inconvenience by providing several
transportation options. Depending
on the circumstances, your
retailer can offer you one of the
following:
Shuttle Service
Shuttle service is the preferred
means of offering Courtesy
Transportation. Retailers may
provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination with
minimal interruption of your daily
schedule. This includes one-way or
round trip shuttle service within
reasonable time and distance
parameters of the retailer’s area.Public Transportation or Fuel
Reimbursement
If your vehicle requires overnight
warranty repairs, and public
transportation is used instead of the
retailer’s shuttle service, the
expense must be supported by
original receipts and can only be up
to the maximum amount allowed
by Saturn for shuttle service.
In addition, for U.S. customers,
should you arrange transportation
through a friend or relative,
limited reimbursement for
reasonable fuel expenses may be
available. Claim amounts should
reect actual costs and be
supported by original receipts. See
your retailer for information
regarding the allowance amounts for
reimbursement of fuel or other
transportation costs.
