CUSTOMER INFORMATION 371
Managing the Vehicle Damage
Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle requires
damage repairs, GM recommends that
you take an active role in its repair.
If you have a pre-determined repair
facility of choice, take the vehicle
there, or have it towed there. Specify
to the facility that any required
replacement collision parts be original
equipment parts, either new Genuine
GM parts or recycled original GM
parts. Remember, recycled parts will
not be covered by the GM vehicle
warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the repair,
but you must live with the repair.
Depending on your policy limits, your
insurance company may initially value
the repair using aftermarket parts.
Discuss this with the repair
professional, and insist on Genuine
GM parts. Remember, if the vehicle is
leased, you may be obligated to have
the vehicle repaired with Genuine GM
parts, even if your insurance coverage
does not pay the full cost.If another party's insurance company
is paying for the repairs, you are not
obligated to accept a repair valuation
based on that insurance company's
collision policy repair limits, as you
have no contractual limits with that
company. In such cases, you can have
control of the repair and parts choices
as long as the cost stays within
reasonable limits.

Advanced Diagnostics provides a way
to keep up on maintenance.
Capabilities vary by model. See
www.onstar.com for details and

rates may apply.
Advanced Diagnostics requires an
active OnStar paid service plan, e-mail

appear on the infotainment display. Proactive Alerts are
designed to help predict specific
types of issues based on
information collected from the
vehicle. Other factors may affect
vehicle performance. Not all issues
will deliver alerts. In some cases, a
dealer service check may be
required to confirm the accuracy
of the alerts.

Have the vehicle notify your
preferred dealer when it is time for
maintenance. Your dealer will then
contact you to set up an
appointment.
