Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your retailer and to
Saturn. Together we are committed
to providing our customers with
unparalleled service, before, during,
and after the purchase of a
Saturn vehicle, for total customer
satisfaction. We call this the Saturn
Difference. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of the vehicle are resolved
by the retailer’s sales or service
departments. If, for any reason, your
ownership experience falls below
your expectations, we suggest
you take the following action:
STEP ONE:Contact the Retail
Customer Assistance Liaison. Any
member of the retail management
team has the authority and the
desire to resolve your concerns.

General Motors Participation in
the Mediation/Arbitration Program
In the event that you do not feel
your concerns have been addressed
after following the procedure
outlined in Steps 1 and 2, General
Motors of Canada Limited has
committed to binding arbitration of
owner disputes involving
factory-related vehicle service
claims. The program provides for
the review of the facts involved
by an impartial third party arbiter,
and may include an informal hearing
before the arbiter. The program is
designed so that the entire
dispute settlement process, from the
time you le your complaint to the
nal decision, should be completed
in approximately 70 days. We
believe our impartial program offers
advantages over courts in most
jurisdictions because it is informal,
quick, and free of charge.For further information concerning

Courtesy Transportation
To enhance your ownership
experience, we and our participating
retailers are proud to offer Courtesy
Transportation, a customer
support program for vehicles with
the Bumper to Bumper (Base
Warranty Coverage period in
Canada), extended powertrain, and
hybrid specic warranties in both
the U.S. and Canada.
Several courtesy transportation
options are available to assist
in reducing your inconvenience
when warranty repairs are required.
Courtesy Transportation is not a
part of the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. A separate booklet
entitled “Warranty and Owner
Assistance Information” furnished
with each new vehicle provides
detailed warranty coverage
information.
Transportation Options
Warranty service can generally be
completed while you wait. However,
if you are unable to wait, Saturn
helps to minimize your
inconvenience by providing several
transportation options. Depending
on the circumstances, your
retailer can offer you one of the
following:
Shuttle Service
Shuttle service is the preferred
means of offering Courtesy
Transportation. Retailers may
provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination with
minimal interruption of your daily
schedule. This includes one-way or
round trip shuttle service within
reasonable time and distance
parameters of the retailer’s area.
Public Transportation or Fuel
Reimbursement
If your vehicle requires overnight
warranty repairs, and public
transportation is used instead of theretailer’s shuttle service, the
expense must be supported by
original receipts and can only be up
to the maximum amount allowed
by Saturn for shuttle service.
In addition, for U.S. customers,
should you arrange transportation
through a friend or relative,
limited reimbursement for
reasonable fuel expenses may be
available. Claim amounts should
reect actual costs and be
supported by original receipts. See
your retailer for information
regarding the allowance amounts for
reimbursement of fuel or other
transportation costs.
Courtesy Rental Vehicle
Your retailer may arrange to provide
you with a courtesy rental vehicle or
reimburse you for a rental vehicle
that you obtain if your vehicle is kept
for an overnight warranty repair.
Rental reimbursement will be limited
and must be supported by original
receipts. This requires that you sign
and complete a rental agreement

and meet state/ provincial, local, and
rental vehicle provider requirements.
Requirements vary and may include
minimum age requirements,
insurance coverage, credit card,
etc. You are responsible for fuel
usage charges and may also be
responsible for taxes, levies, usage
fees, excessive mileage, or rental
usage beyond the completion of the
repair.
It may not be possible to provide a
like-vehicle as a courtesy rental.
Additional Program
Information
All program options, such as shuttle
service, may not be available at
every retailer. Please contact your
retailer for specic information about
availability. All Courtesy
Transportation arrangements will be
administered by appropriate
retailer personnel.
Saturn reserves the right to
unilaterally modify, change or
discontinue Courtesy Transportationat any time and to resolve all
questions of claim eligibility pursuant
to the terms and conditions
described herein at its sole
discretion.
Collision Damage Repair
If your vehicle is involved in a
collision and it is damaged, have
the damage repaired by a qualied
technician using the proper
equipment and quality replacement
parts. Poorly performed collision
repairs diminish your vehicle’s
resale value, and safety
performance can be compromised
in subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts are new
parts made with the same materials
and construction methods as the
parts with which your vehicle
was originally built. Genuine GM
Collision parts are your best choice
to ensure that your vehicle’s
designed appearance, durability,
and safety are preserved. The useof Genuine GM parts can help
maintain your GM New Vehicle
Warranty.
Recycled original equipment parts
may also be used for repair.
These parts are typically removed
from vehicles that were total
losses in prior crashes. In most
cases, the parts being recycled are
from undamaged sections of the
vehicle. A recycled original
equipment GM part, may be an
acceptable choice to maintain your
vehicle’s originally designed
appearance and safety performance,
however, the history of these
parts is not known. Such parts are
not covered by your GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any
related failures are not covered
by that warranty.
Aftermarket collision parts are also
available. These are made by
companies other than GM and may
not have been tested for your
vehicle. As a result, these parts may
t poorly, exhibit premature
durability/corrosion problems, and
