When purchasing insurance,
we recommend that you
ensure that the vehicle will be
repaired with GM original
equipment collision parts.

not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer

lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.

emergency services for help.

crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position putsyou in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a
police officer.

information to police and other
parties involved in the crash.
