which provides mechanical repair

availability of GM Roadside
Assistance or a towing and road
service allowance. The GM
Protection Plan is available in
different levels of coverage, each
offering a variety of time/kilometre
options to suit your driving needs.The GM Protection Plan is the only
optional service contract backed by
the worldwide resources of General
Motors. It can be the most valuable
option you choose for your vehicle.
See your Cadillac dealer for prices,
vehicle eligibility guidelines and
more details.
