Have you purchased the Genuine GM Protection Plan? The GM
Protection Plan may be purchased within specific time/mileage
limitations. Remember, if the service contract you are considering for
purchase does not have the GM Protection Plan emblem shown above
on it, then it is not the Genuine GM Protection Plan from GM.
GM is committed to assuring
satisfaction with your new vehicle.
Your dealer also wants you to be
completely satisfied and invites you
to return for all your service needs,
both during and after the warranty
period.
Owner Assistance
The dealer is best equipped to
provide all your vehicle's service
needs. Should you ever encounter
a problem that is not resolved
during or after the limited warranty
period, talk to a member of dealer
management. Under certain
circumstances, GM and/or GM
dealers may provide assistance
after the limited warranty period
has expired when the problem
results from a defect in material or
workmanship. These instances will
be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis. If the issue has not been
resolved to your satisfaction,
follow the Customer SatisfactionProcedure on page 36.
We thank you for choosing GM.

Warranty Service – United
States and Canada
The selling dealer has invested
in the proper tools, training, and
parts inventory to ensure that any
necessary warranty repairs can
be made to your GM vehicle.
GM requests that the vehicle be
returned to the selling dealer for
all warranty repairs. If a situation
or event occurs where you are
significantly inconvenienced, an
authorized GM dealer can make the
warranty repairs. However, in the
event the dealer is not able to
perform the repair due to the special
tool and training requirements,
contact the Customer AssistanceOffices on page 41. If you are
unable to return to the selling
dealer, contact a GM dealer in
the United States or Canada for
warranty service.

damages, lost profit, loss of
business, loss of goodwill, loss of
