Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealership and to General Motors. Normally, any questions or concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealership'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 dealer management. Normally, concerns can be resolved at that level. If the concern 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 at the dealership without further help, contact the Customer Communication Centre in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777 (English), 1-800-263-7854 (French) 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. (For Customer Assistance Offices in the U.S. contact the listed General Motors Division Customer Assistance Office.)
For prompt assistance, please have the following information available to give to the Customer Communication Advisor:
| • | Your name, address, home and business telephone number |
| • | Vehicle Identification Number (This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate above the left top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.) |
| • | Dealership name and location. |
| • | Vehicle's delivery date and present odometer reading. |
| • | Nature of concern |
General Motors encourages customers to call their toll-free number for assistance. However, if a customer wishes to write to General Motors, the letter should be addressed to General Motors Customer Communication Centre in Oshawa. The address is listed under "Customer Assistance Offices".
When contacting General Motors, please remember your concern will likely be resolved in the dealership, using the dealer's facilities, equipment and personnel. This is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have a concern.
