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
Program
To enhance your ownership
experience, we and our participating
dealers are proud to offer Courtesy
Transportation, a customer support
program for vehicles with the Bumper
to Bumper (Base Warranty Coverage
period in Canada) and extended
powertrain, and hybrid specific
warranty 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, GM helps
to minimize your inconvenience by
providing several transportation
options. Depending on the
circumstances, your dealer can
offer you one of the following:
Shuttle Service
Shuttle service is the preferred
means of offering Courtesy
Transportation. Dealers 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
dealer’s area.

Managing the Vehicle Damage
Repair Process
In the event that your 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 your 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 your 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 your repair
professional, and insist on Genuine
GM parts. Remember if your vehicle
is leased you may be obligated tohave 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 cost stays within
reasonable limits.
