Protection Plans
The GM Protection Plans
GM Protection Plans are service contracts that have been providing "Peace of Mind
Motoring" to Canadians for over 25 years.
Benefits
 For you and your vehicle, there are many ways to enjoy the benefits
of the GM Protection Plan.
Total 'Plus'
Essentially, GMPP Total 'Plus' provides repair cost protection to the mechanical
and electrical components on your GM car or truck, from the engine and transmission
to the sophisticated electronic computers and modules that are commonplace in today's
vehicles.
Benefits
The following are ways you and your vehicle can benefit from the GM Protection Plan:
Protection For You
Your car or light truck was built to exact specifications. We are confident in its
reliability, but local climate, road conditions and normal vehicle usage cause even
the best components to fail occasionally.
The GM Protection Plan is your safeguard against costly vehicle repairs and provides
peace of mind while you're on the road. When you're protected by GMPP, both parts
and labour are covered, you pay only your deductible, if any, for covered repairs.
7,500 General Motors Dealers
With the largest repair network in Canada and the US, GM's commitment to you is
to provide a worry-free driving experience.
Your GM Dealer, as well as the over 7,500 GM Dealers across Canada and the US, offers
professional, factory-trained technicians, using only GM Authorized replacement
parts in any GMPP repairs performed on your vehicle.
Budget/Inflation Protection
GMPP provides protection for you and your family against unexpected and rising repair
costs. It can be the most valuable option you choose for your vehicle.
Historically, automotive repair costs have increased each year. This chart gives
you a general idea of what repairs may cost
without GMPP.
These prices indicate approximate repair costs. They are not intended to be used
as an actual list for services performed at GM Dealerships.
Normal Wear
GMPP improves with age providing coverage to parts and assemblies that simply wear
out. It is
this unique feature that makes GMPP even more valuable, particularly
as your vehicle ages.
Outside influences such as local climate, road conditions, maintenance intervals,
even driving habits, contribute to the strain and 'wear' on your vehicle's components.
A few examples of parts that simply wear out are piston rings, ball joints, water
pumps and alternators.
This 'Normal Wear' Coverage applies to parts and assemblies covered by GMPP. It
does not apply to non-covered or maintenance items such as brake shoes, pads, shock
absorbers, etc.
Tailored To Your Needs
Rental/Alternate Transportation Allowance
A $40 per day allowance is provided by GMPP to help cover the cost of a rental vehicle
or other form of
alternate transportation.
This allowance is made available while your vehicle is in the shop for covered repairs
that require at least 2 hours of shop labour time, or that make your vehicle inoperable
requiring it to be held overnight.
This benefit is subject to a $200 maximum per occurrence
GM Roadside Assistance Program
GMPP Total 'Plus' provides additional 'peace-of-mind' convenience by offering 24
hour assistance for lost or locked-in keys, flat tire changing, out-of-fuel emergencies,
jump-starts, and even provides a lodging and meal allowance in the event your vehicle
breakdown leaves you stranded out of town!
Your GM Roadside Benefit also provides you with a personalized trip planning service
to any destination in Canada or the U.S.
Transferable coverage
GMPP can increase the value of your vehicle. If you sell your vehicle before the
GMPP coverage expires, the remaining coverage may be transferred to subsequent retail
owners at no charge.
Deductible
In the event your vehicle requires repairs covered by GMPP, your deductible charge
is $100 per repair, plus taxes applicable to the deductible. Should the same part
fail again, no deductible will apply to that failure.
A $0 deductible option is available on GMPP Total 'Plus' coverage. See your dealer
for details.
Resale Value
GMPP can increase the value of your vehicle. If you sell your vehicle before the
GMPP coverage expires, the remaining coverage may be transferred to subsequent retail
owners at no charge.
Replacement Parts
With the largest repair network in Canada and the U.S. GM's commitment to you is
to provide a worry-free driving experience.
Your GM Dealer, as well as the over 7,500 GM Dealers across Canada and the U.S.,
offers professional, factory-trained technicians, using only GM Authorized replacement
parts in any GMPP repairs performed on your vehicle.
Easy to buy
You may be able to include the cost of General Motors Protection Plans as part of
your lease or finance payments.
This valuable protection can save you considerable repair expenses and associated
towing and rental costs during the term of the plan, yet is extremely affordable.
For example, if you are leasing your vehicle, the GM Protection Plan can be added
to your vehicle for approximately $16 per month*.
If you are purchasing your vehicle, a comprehensive, longer term GM Protection Plan
can be added to your vehicle for approximately $18 per month**.
*Based on a 48 month/80,000 kilometre GMPP coverage on a Cobalt/G5 in Ontario.
Monthly payments are approximate, and are used for illustration purposes only. Payments
will vary by type of vehicle, lease or finance term, GMPP plan term, deductible
and coverage level selected, and by the Region in Canada in which you live.
Your GM
Dealer can provide you with the specific plan term, coverage level and pricing
that best suits your individual needs.
Plus even more!
GMPP is backed by the worldwide resources of General Motors and is the only plan
General Motors recommends.
