Customer Satisfaction Procedure Oldsmobile retailers 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 retail facility 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 retail facility or the
general manager.
8-2

STEP TWO -- If after contacting a member of
retail facility management, it appears your concern
cannot be resolved by the retail facility without further
help, contact the Oldsmobile Customer Assistance
Network by calling 1-800-442-6537.

Courtesy Transportation
We’re here to help. That’s why whenever your
Oldsmobile is undergoing any Bumper to Bumper
Warranty service, we’ll make sure you don’t end up
stranded at the retail facility. It’s called Courtesy
Transportation and
it’s our way to make sure you’re able
to get out even when your car is in. For same-day
service, we’ll give you a one-way shuttle ride of up to
10 miles. If your vehicle requires overnight warranty
repairs, we’ll provide a loaner car or reimburse you up
to
$30 a day for the cost of alternate transportation -- a
cab, a bus or even a rental car if necessary. Having your
car serviced is rarely convenient, but with Courtesy
Transportation, at least you’ll be able to get where you
need to go, whether it’s here, or there. Some state insurance
regulations make it impractical
to rent vehicles
to people under 21 years of age. If
you are under 21 and have difficulty renting a
vehicle, Oldsmobile will reimburse up to $30/day
for documented transportation you receive. Please
consult your retailer for details.
For warranty repairs during the Complete Vehicle
Coverage period in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
interim transportation may be available under the
Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult your
retailer for details. The Roadside Assistance program
is
available only in the United States and Canada.
