Customer  Assistance Information 
Customer  Satisfaction  Procedure 
Your  satisfaction  and goodwill are important to 
your dealer  and to Oldsmobile. Normally,  any  concerns 
with  the sales  transaction  or  the operation  of  your 
vehicle  will  be resolved  by your dealer’s sales or service 
departments.  Sometimes, however, despite the  best 
intentions  of all concerned, misunderstandings  can 
occur. 
If your  concern  has not been  resolved  to your 
satisfaction, the following steps should  be taken: 
STEP 
ONE: Discuss your  concern with a  member  of 
dealership  management.  Normally, concerns can 
be  quickly  resolved  at that  level.  If the  matter  has 
already  been reviewed with the sales, service  or parts 
manager,  contact the  owner of the  dealership or 
the  general  manager. 
STEP  TWO:  If  after contacting  a  member of dealership 
management,  it appears  your concern  cannot  be 
resolved by  the dealership without further help, contact 
the  Oldsmobile  Customer Assistance  Center by 
calling  1-800-442-6537. In  Canada, contact GM of 
Canada  Customer  Communication  Centre in Oshawa  by 
calling  1-800-263-3777  (English) or 1-800-263-7854 
(French).  We  encourage 
you to call the toll-free  number in order 
to  give  your  inquiry  prompt  attention.  Please  have 
the following information available  to give  the  Customer 
Assistance  Representative: 
Vehicle  Identification  Number  (This is available  from 
the vehicle registration  or  title, or  the  plate  at  the 
top  left  of the  instrument  panel  and  visible  through 
the windshield.) 
Dealership  name  and location 
Vehicle delivery date  and  present  mileage 
When  contacting  Oldsmobile,  please remember  that 
your  concern  will likely  be  resolved  at  a dealer’s  facility. 
That  is why  we  suggest  you  follow  Step  One  first 
if 
you  have  a concern. 
STEP 
THREE: Both  General  Motors and  your  dealer 
are  committed  to making  sure  you  are  completely 
satisfied with  your  new  vehicle.  However, 
if you  continue 
to  remain unsatisfied  after following  the  procedure 
outlined  in Steps  One  and  Two,  you  should  file with  the 
GM/BBB  Auto  Line Program  to enforce  any  additional 
rights  you  may  have.  Canadian  owners  refer  to 
your  Warranty  and  Owner  Assistance Information 
booklet  for information  on  the  Canadian  Motor  Vehicle 
Arbitration Plan  (CAMVAP).

The  BBB  Auto Line Program  is an  out  of court  program 
administered  by the Council  of Better  Business 
Bureaus  to settle  automotive disputes regarding vehicle 
repairs  or  the  interpretation of the  New  Vehicle 
Limited  Warranty.  Although  you  may  be  required to 
resort  to  this informal dispute resolution  program prior to 
filing a  court  action,  use  of the  program  is free of 
charge  and  your  case  will  generally be heard within 
40 days.  If  you  do  not  agree with the decision given  in 
your  case,  you  may  reject  it and  proceed  with any other 
venue  for  relief  available to you. 
You  may  contact the  BBB using  the toll-free telephone 
number  or  write  them  at  the following address:

Page 360 of 387

The  Courtesy Transportation  program is offered to  retail 
purchase/lease  customers  in conjunction with the 
Bumper-to-Bumper  coverage  provided by the  New 
Vehicle  Limited Warranty.  Several transportation options 
are  available  when  warranty  repairs are  required. 
This  will  reduce  your  inconvenience during warranty 
repairs. 
Plan  Ahead  When  Possible 
When  your  vehicle requires warranty service,  you 
should  contact  your  dealer  and request  an appointment. 
By  scheduling  a  service appointment  and  advising 
your  service  consultant  of your transportation needs, 
your  dealer  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, let 
them  know  this,  and  ask  for  instructions. 
If the  dealer  requests  that you simply drop  the vehicle 
off for  service,  you  are urged to do so as early in 
ine  work  day 
as possibie io aiiow ior same day repair. 
Transportation Options 
Warranty  service can generally  be  completed  while you 
wait.  However, 
if you  are unable to wait  Oldsmobile 
helps minimize your inconvenience by providing several 
transportation options.  Depending  on the circumstances, 
your  dealer  can offer  you  one  of the following: 
Shuttle  Service 
Participating dealers  can provide  you with shuttle 
service to  get  you to your  destination with  minimal 
interruption  of your daily schedule. This  includes  a  one 
way  shuttle ride to  a destination  up to 
10 miles  from 
the dealership. 
Public  Transportation  or Fuel 
Reimbursement 
If  your  vehicle requires overnight warranty repairs, 
reimbursement  up  to 
$30 per  day (five days  maximum) 
may  be  available for the  use of public transportation 
such  as taxi or bus.  In addition, should  you arrange 
transportation through  a friend  or relative, 
reimbursement  tor  reasonable tuel expenses  up 
to 
$10 per day  (five  day  maximum)  may  be available. 
Claim  amounts  should reflect actual costs and  be 
supported by original receipts.
