Customer Satisfaction Procedure

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and to GM. 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 dealer 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 dealer facility or the general manager.

STEP TWO:  If after contacting a member of dealer management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealer without further help contact the GM Customer Assistance Center . See below for the address and phone number. Provide them with:

    • Your name, address, and telephone number
    • The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration, title, or the plate above the left top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.
    • The dealer name and location
    • The vehicle's delivery date and present mileage
    • The nature of the concern.

When contacting the Customer Assistance Center, remember that your concern will likely be resolved at a dealer's facility, using the dealer's facilities, equipment, and personnel. That is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have a concern.

STEP THREE: Both GM and your GM 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 Better Business Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to enforce any additional rights you may have.

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 Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address:

Telephone: 1-800-955-5100

This program is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age, mileage, and other factors. GM reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its participation in this program.

State Warranty Enforcement Laws

Laws in many states permit owners to obtain a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price under certain circumstances. The provisions of these laws vary from state to state. To the extent allowed by state law, GM requires that you first provide us with written notification of any service difficulty you have experienced so that we have an opportunity to make any needed repairs before you are eligible for the remedies provided by these laws. Your written notification should be sent to the GM Customer Assistance Center.

Special Coverage Adjustment Programs Beyond the Warranty Period

General Motors Corporation is proud of the protection afforded by its warranty coverages. In order to achieve maximum customer satisfaction, there may be times when GM will establish a special coverage adjustment program to pay all or part of the cost of certain repairs not covered by the warranty. Check with your GM dealer or the nearest GM office to determine whether any special coverage adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle.

When you make an inquiry, you will need to give the year, model, and mileage of your vehicle and your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
