CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING
SERVICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The Appointment
All work to be performed may not be covered
by the warranty. Discuss additional charges
with the service manager. Keep a mainte-
nance log of your vehicle's service history, as
this can often provide a clue to the current
problem.
Prepare A List
Make a written list of your vehicle's problems
or the specific work you want done. If you've
had an accident or work done that is not on
your maintenance log, let the service advisor
know.
Be Reasonable With Requests
If you list a number of items and you must
have your vehicle by the end of the day,
discuss the situation with the service advisor
and list the items in order of priority. At many
authorized dealers, you may obtain a rental
vehicle at a minimal daily charge. If you need
a rental, it is advisable to make these arrange -
ments when you call for an appointment.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
FCA US LLC and its authorized dealers are

mation to ensure the vehicle is fixed correctly

rized dealer’s service manager first. If for
some reason you are still not satisfied, talk to
the general manager or owner of the autho -
rized dealer. They want to know if you need
assistance. If an authorized dealer is unable to
resolve the concern, you may contact FCA US
LLC's Customer Assistance center.
