STEP ONE:Discuss your concern with a member ofdealership management. Normally, concerns canbe quickly resolved at that level. If the matter hasalready been reviewed with the sales, service or partsmanager, contact the owner of the dealership orthe general manager.

In Canada,call the Canadian Cadillac Customer CommunicationCentre at 1-888-446-2000.
We encourage you to call the toll-free number in orderto give your inquiry prompt attention. Have thefollowing information available to give the CustomerAssistance Representative:
