Insuring Your Vehicle
Protect your investment in your GM vehicle
with comprehensive and collision insurance
coverage. There are significant differences in
the quality of coverage afforded by various
insurance policy terms. Many insurance policies
provide reduced protection to your GM vehicle
by limiting compensation for damage repairs
by using aftermarket collision parts. Some
insurance companies will not specify aftermarket
collision parts. When purchasing insurance,
we recommend that you assure your vehicle will
be repaired with GM original equipment collision
parts. If such insurance coverage is not available
from your current insurance carrier, consider
switching to another insurance carrier.
If your vehicle is leased, the leasing company
may require you to have insurance that
assures repairs with Genuine GM Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer replacement parts.
Read your lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of your lease for poor
quality repairs.
If an Accident Occurs
Here is what to do if you are involved in
an accident.
• Try to relax and then check to make sure
you are all right. If you are uninjured,
make sure that no one else in your vehicle,
or the other vehicle, is injured.
• If there has been an injury, call 911 for help.
Do not leave the scene of an accident
until all matters have been taken care of.
Move your vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger or you are instructed to
move it by a police officer.
• Give only the necessary and requested
information to police and other parties
involved in the accident. Do not discuss
your personal condition, mental frame of
mind, or anything unrelated to the accident.
This helps guard against post-accident
legal action.
