VEHICLE BODY REPAIR
KNOW THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DIFFERENCEAlways insist on GM Collision Parts for your collision repair to restore comfort and your vehicle’s performance. Don’t settle for imitation collision parts for your auto body repair that may not measure up in design, materials, fit, assembly, or comparative testing. GM Collision Parts are the Original Equipment Manufacturer parts for your vehicle, so you know you’re getting GM quality, reliability, and durability.
WHAT TO DO IF A COLLISION OCCURSIn the event of a collision, and 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. Give only the necessary information to police and other parties involved in the crash. Active Protection Plan OnStar† account holders have access to a comprehensive, in-vehicle system that can connect to a live Advisor for emergency, security, navigation, connection, and diagnostic services. With available Automatic Crash Response, the built-in system can automatically connect you to help in the event of a crash, even if you cannot ask for it. GPS technology is used to identify the vehicle location and can provide critical information to emergency personnel. The Advisor is also trained to offer critical assistance in emergency situations. You can push your OnStar button or call 1-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) to speak to an Advisor. For more information, visit onstar.com. Visit
onstar.com for vehicle availability, details, and system limitations. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service providers. Not all vehicles may transmit all crash data. GENERAL TIPS
1. If your vehicle cannot be driven, know where the towing service will be taking it. Get a card from the tow truck operator or write down the driver’s name, the service’s name, and phone number. 2. Choose a reputable collision repair facility for your vehicle. Whether you select a Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac dealer, or a private collision repair facility to fix the damage, make sure you’re comfortable with your choice. 3. Remove any valuables from your vehicle before it’s towed away. Make sure this includes your insurance information and registration if you keep these items in your vehicle. 4. If possible, call your insurance company from the scene of the accident. They’ll walk you through the information they’ll need. If they ask for a police report, don’t worry. Just call or go to the police department’s headquarters and you can get a copy of the
report. 5. If you have a question about your estimate, don’t be afraid to ask for an explanation. Reputable shops welcome this opportunity. The only way to make sure you get GM Genuine Parts is to ask for them yourself. Ask your insurance agent and collision repair facility representative if your vehicle will be repaired with GM Genuine Parts. If the answer is yes, then you’ll be getting the value, safety, endurance, and peace of mind you expect. If
they say imitation parts might be used, you have the right to refuse them. It’s your choice.
