The General Motors
Protection Plan
Many owners seek to enhance their
vehicle ownership by purchasing an
optional service contract. General
Motors offers its own GM Protection
Plan (GMPP), a service contract
which provides mechanical repair
protection, a rental/alternate
transportation allowance, and the
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 GeneralMotors. It can be the most valuable
option you choose for your vehicle.
See your GM Dealer for prices,
vehicle eligibility guidelines and
more details.

owners to report, at their earliest
convenience, a change in name or
address by calling our Customer
Care Centre toll free at
1-800-263-3777 (English) or

to advise us by calling the number
above. You may also visit the
General Motors dealer of your
choice to report a change in vehicle
ownership. The current owner name
and address is essential for General
Motors to provide timely notification
to owners of important information
related to their vehicles.
