Customer Satisfaction Procedure Chevrolet/Geo dealers have the facilities, trained
technicians and up-to-date information to promptly
address any concerns you may have. However,
if a
concern has not been resolved to your complete
satisfaction, take the following steps:
STEP ONE -- Discuss your concern with a member
of dealership management. Normally, concerns can
be quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has
already been reviewed with the Sales, Service or
Parts
Manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the
General Manager.
