Your satisfaction and goodwill are important

to your dealer and to Chevrolet. Normally,

any concerns with the sales transaction or

the operation of the 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,

Courtesy Rental Vehicle

For an overnight warranty repair, the dealer

may provide an available courtesy rental

vehicle or provide for reimbursement of a

rental vehicle. Reimbursement is limited and

must be supported by original receipts as

well as a signed and completed rental

agreement and meet state/provincial, local,

and rental vehicle provider requirements.

Requirements vary and may include

minimum age requirements, insurance

coverage, credit card, etc. Additional fees

such as fuel, rental vehicle insurance, taxes,

levies, usage fees, excessive mileage,

Transportation Options

Warranty service can generally be

completed while you wait. However, if you

are unable to do so, your dealer may offer

the following transportation options:

If your dealer 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 same-day repair.

Shuttle Service

This includes one-way or round-trip shuttle

service within reasonable time and distance

parameters of your dealer's area.

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), Federal Emission,

Public Transportation or Fuel Reimbursement

or rental usage beyond the completion of

the repair are also your responsibility.

If overnight warranty repairs are needed,

and public transportation is used, the

expense must be supported by original

receipts and within the maximum amount

allowed by GM. If U.S. customers arrange

their own transportation, limited

reimbursement for reasonable fuel expenses

may be available. Claim amounts should

reflect actual costs and be supported by

original receipts. See your dealer for

information.

It may not be possible to provide a like

vehicle as a courtesy rental.

Additional Program Information

appearance and safety performance;

however, the history of these parts is not

known. Such parts are not covered by the

GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any

related failures are not covered by that

warranty.

Insuring the Vehicle

Collision Damage Repair

Protect your investment in the GM vehicle

with comprehensive and collision insurance

coverage. There are significant differences in

the quality of coverage afforded by various

insurance policy terms. Many insurance

policies provide reduced protection to the

GM vehicle by limiting compensation for

damage repairs through the use of

aftermarket collision parts. Some insurance

companies will not specify aftermarket

collision parts. When purchasing insurance,

we recommend that you ensure that the

vehicle will be repaired with GM original

equipment collision parts. If such insurance

coverage is not available from your current

insurance carrier, consider switching to

another insurance carrier.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision and it

is damaged, have the damage repaired by a

qualified technician using the proper

equipment and quality replacement parts.

Poorly performed collision repairs diminish

the vehicle resale value, and safety

performance can be compromised in

subsequent collisions.

Aftermarket collision parts are also available.

These are made by companies other than

GM and may not have been tested for the

vehicle. As a result, these parts may fit

poorly, exhibit premature durability/

corrosion problems, and may not perform

properly in subsequent collisions.

Aftermarket parts are not covered by the

GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any

vehicle failure related to such parts is not

covered by that warranty.

Collision Parts

Genuine GM Collision parts are new parts

made with the same materials and

construction methods as the parts with

which the vehicle was originally built.

Genuine GM Collision parts are the best

choice to ensure that the vehicle's designed

appearance, durability, and safety are

preserved. The use of Genuine GM parts can

help maintain the GM New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

Repair Facility

If the vehicle is leased, the leasing company

may require you to have insurance that

ensures repairs with Genuine GM Original

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or

Genuine Manufacturer replacement parts.

Read the lease carefully, as you may be

charged at the end of the lease for poor

quality repairs.

GM also recommends that you choose a

collision repair facility that meets your

needs before you ever need collision repairs.

Your dealer may have a collision repair

center with GM-trained technicians and

state-of-the-art equipment, or be able to

recommend a collision repair center that has

GM-trained technicians and comparable

equipment.

Recycled original equipment parts may also

be used for repair. These parts are typically

removed from vehicles that were total losses

in prior crashes. In most cases, the parts

being recycled are from undamaged sections

of the vehicle. A recycled original equipment

GM part may be an acceptable choice to

maintain the vehicle's originally designed

Customer Information

Choose a reputable repair facility that uses

quality replacement parts. See “Collision

Parts” earlier in this section.

vehicle repaired with Genuine GM parts,

even if your insurance coverage does not

pay the full cost.

If a Crash Occurs

If there has been an injury, call emergency

services for help. Do not leave the scene of

a crash until all matters have been taken

care of. Move the vehicle only if its position

puts you in danger, or you are instructed to

move it by a police officer.

If the airbag has inflated, see What Will You

See after an Airbag Inflates? 0 63.

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.

Managing the Vehicle Damage Repair

Process

Give only the necessary information to

police and other parties involved in the

crash.

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.

For emergency towing see Roadside

Assistance Program 0 433.
