Customer Information
Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Buick. Normally, any concerns with
the sales transaction or the
operation of your vehicle will be
resolved by your GM dealer's sales
or service departments. Sometimes,
however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has not
been resolved to your satisfaction,
the following steps should be taken:
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.

12-2 Customer Information
STEP TWO :If after contacting a
member of dealership management,
it appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealership without
further help, in the U.S., contact the
Buick Customer Assistance Center
by calling 1-800-521-7300. In
Canada, contact General Motors of
Canada Customer Communication
Centre by calling 1-800-263-3777
(English) or 1-800-263-7854
(French).
We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to give your
inquiry prompt attention. Please
have the following information
available to give the Customer
Assistance Representative:
.Vehicle Identification Number.
This is available from the vehicle
registration or title, or the plate
at the top left of the instrument
panel.
.Dealership name and location
.Vehicle delivery date and
present mileage When contacting Buick, please
remember that your concern will
likely be resolved at a dealer's
facility. That is why we suggest you
follow Step One first if you have a
concern.
STEP THREE
—U.S. Owners:
Both General Motors and your
dealer are committed to making
sure you are completely satisfied
with your new vehicle. However, in
the United States, if you continue to
remain unsatisfied after following
the procedure outlined in Steps One
and Two, you can file with the BBB
Auto Line Program to enforce your
rights.
The BBB Auto Line Program is an
out of court program administered
by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus to settle automotive
disputes regarding vehicle repairs or
the interpretation of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. Although you may
be required to resort to this informal
dispute resolution program prior to
filing a court action, use of the
program is free of charge and your case will generally be heard within
40 days. If you do not agree with the
decision given in your case, you
may reject it and proceed with any
other venue for relief available
to you.
You may contact the BBB Auto Line
Program using the toll-free
telephone number or write them at
the following address:

Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203-1838
Telephone: 1-800-955-5100
dr.bbb.org/goauto
This program is available in all
50 states and the District of
Columbia. Eligibility is limited by
vehicle age, mileage and other
factors. General Motors reserves
the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or discontinue its
participation in this program.

STEP THREE—Canadian
Owners: In the event that you do
not feel your concerns have been
addressed after following the
procedure outlined in Steps one and
two, General Motors of Canada
Limited wants you to be aware of its
participation in a no-charge
Mediation/Arbitration program.
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 file your complaint to the final
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
eligibility in the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP),
call toll-free 1-800-207-0685.
Alternatively you may call the
General Motors Customer
Communication Centre,
1-800-263-3777 (English),
1-800-263-7854 (French), or you
may write to the Mediation/
Arbitration Program at the following
address. Your inquiry should be
accompanied by your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN).
