Do I have to take my vehicle to a GM dealer for maintenance to maintain my extended powertrain eligibility?

GM dealer/retailers have the specialized training and GM genuine parts and accessories to ensure your vehicle is repaired and maintained properly. Although you are not required to have your vehicle serviced at a GM deal/retailership, we highly recommend that you do. In addition, we encourage you to keep detailed records and receipts of your maintenance history.

Does the required Maintenance of my vehicle change as a result of this new powertrain limited warranty?

As a vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the scheduled maintenance listed in your Owners Manual. Your owners manual provides a detailed maintenance schedule that you should follow for your specific vehicle and driving habits. In addition, we strongly encourage you to keep detailed records and receipts of your maintenance history.

Can I purchase this extra powertrain coverage for my 2006 (and prior) vehicle?

You may be eligible to choose from one of our GMPP offerings which can be tailored to meet your needs - including extended powertrain coverage. Please contact your selling dealer/retailership for details on the various GM Protection Plan programs.
