Also, now included in the Portfolio are the newly designed "Customer Satisfaction Delivery Procedure" and the "Pre-Delivery Inspection Procedure" forms. These forms are designed to assist the dealership personnel in a quality pre-delivery inspection and an informative vehicle delivery. These forms cannot be ordered separately. The previously used vehicle inspection packet, #10122681 has been discontinued.
The "Pre-Delivery Inspection Procedure" is a guide to proper vehicle inspection. Many times minor repairs or adjustments can be performed before the customer takes delivery. This reduces the possibility of early warranty service, which will improve the customer's "first impression" of the new vehicle and the dealership.
The "Customer Satisfaction Delivery Procedure" should be reviewed with the customer, every item checked and the form signed by the customer. We highly recommend that the salesperson, at the time of delivery, check all fluids and tire pressure with the customer watching. This serves two purposes:
1. It assures the customer that all fluid levels and tire pressures are correct.
2. It shows the customer where these items are located and the proper way to check them.
Both of these forms are very important and should be part of every new vehicle delivery.
Your Customer Satisfaction Index reflects the type of inspection and delivery procedures your dealership performs.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
