Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Transportation Options*
Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day,
but there is often no reason for you to wait at the
dealership. Cadillac helps minimize inconvenience
to you by providing several transportation options.
Depending
on the circumstances, your dealership
can offer you one of the following options:
Shuttle Service*
Your dealership can provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination with minimal interruption of
your daily schedule when your Cadillac is unavailable
due to a warranty repair.
Courtesy Vehicle*
For repairs that require your vehicle to be unavailable to
you for an extended period
of time, your dealer may
arrange to provide you with a courtesy vehicle from the
dealership, or one obtained from
a local rental agency.
Miscellaneous Service*
Should the situation necessitate making your own
arrangements, Gold Key Courtesy Transportation
provides for reimbursement of personally arranged
ses
transportation
such as cab fare, reasonable fuel expen
for a ride provided by another individual or
a rental
vehicle obtained from an independent source.
*Some restrictions may apply. Please consult your
Cadillac dealer concerning specific Gold Key Courtesy
Transportation benefits ofered by the dealership.
Plan Ahead When Possible
Whenever possible, scheduling an appointment for your
vehicle’s warranty service and advising your service
consultant that you wish to take advantage of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation can help minimize your
inconvenience by allowing your dealer to prepare
arrangements to
fulfill your transportation needs in
advance of your visit.
