Your GM dealer/retailer may have acollision repair center with GM-trained technicians andstate of the art equipment, or be able to recommend acollision repair center that has GM-trained techniciansand comparable equipment.Insuring Your VehicleProtect your investment in your GM vehicle withcomprehensive and collision insurance coverage. Thereare significant differences in the quality of coverageafforded by various insurance policy terms. Manyinsurance policies provide reduced protection to yourGM vehicle by limiting compensation for damage repairsby using aftermarket collision parts. Some insurancecompanies will not specify aftermarket collisionparts. When purchasing insurance, we recommend thatyou assure your vehicle will be repaired with GMoriginal equipment collision parts. If such insurancecoverage is not available from your current insurancecarrier, consider switching to another insurance carrier.If your vehicle is leased, the leasing company mayrequire you to have insurance that assures repairs withGenuine GM Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)parts or Genuine Manufacturer replacement parts. Readyour lease carefully, as you may be charged at theend of your lease for poor quality repairs.If a Crash OccursIf there has been an injury, call emergency services forhelp. Do not leave the scene of a crash until allmatters have been taken care of. Move the vehicle onlyif its position puts you in danger, or you are instructedto move it by a police officer.8-14
