Subscriptions What You’ll Find
in the Index:
You can subscribe to all GM Product Service
Publications (PSP’s). This
will include bulletins for all
cars sold by GM and will not be limited
to PSP’s
applicable
to any particular model. When you buy a
subscription, you will receive the PSP’s in periodic
mailings, shortly after they come out.
A subscription
entitles you to all PSP’s published by GM during the
model year. You can purchase a subscription and get
pricing information by calling Helm at
1-800-782-4356.
Individual PSP’s
If you don’t want to buy all the PSP’s issued by GM for
all models
in the model year, you can buy individual
PSP’s, such as those which may pertain to a particular
model.
To do this, you will first need to see our index of
PSP’s. It provides a variety of information. Here’s what
you’ll find in the index and how you can get one:
A list of all PSP’s published by GM in a model year
( 1990 or later). PSP’s covering all models of GM
cars are listed
in the same index.
Ordering information so you can buy the specific
PSP’s you may want.
Price information for the PSP’s you may want to
buy.
How You Can Get an Index:
Indexes are published periodically. Most of the PSP’s
which could potentially apply to the most recent GM
models
will be listed in the most recent publication for
that model year. This means you may want to wait until
the end of the model year before ordering an index, if
you are interested in buying PSP’s pertaining
to a
current model year car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to a particular model year
vehicle may be published
in later years, and these would
be listed in the later year’s index. When you order an
index for a model year that
is not over yet, we’ll send
you the most recently published issue. Check the
ordering form for indexes for earlier model years.
