Service
Your Geo dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you
to be happy with it. We hope you’ll go to your dealer for
all your service needs. You’ll get genuine
GM parts and
GM-trained and supported service people.
We hope you’ll want to keep your GM vehicle all
GM.
Genuine GM parts have one of these marks:

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want to use the proper Geo Service Manual. It tells you
much more about how to service your Geo than this
manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service and Owner Publications” in the Index.
Your vehicle has an air
bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work,
see “Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Geo” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date
of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
