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
dealer 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.
