Service Manuals
Service manuals contain diagnosis and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be useful for owners
who wish to get a greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners with
the appropriate skill level or training who
wish to perform “do-it-yourself” service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent
to all General Motors’ dealerships. GM monitors
product performance in the field. When service methods
are found which promote better service on GM vehicles,
bulletins are created to help the technician perform better
service. Service bulletins may involve any number
of
vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive service; others
will describe expensive service. Some will advise of new
or unexpected conditions, and others may help avoid
future costly repairs. Service bulletins are meant for
qualified technicians. In some cases they refer to service
manuals, specialized tools, equipment and safety
procedures necessary to service the vehicle. Since these
bulletins are issued throughout the model year and
beyond, an index is required and published quarterly
to
help identify specific bulletins. Subscriptions are
available.
You can order an index at the toll-free numbers
listed previously, or ask a GM dealerhetailer
to see an
index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners with general
operation and maintenance information.
