Chevrolet Equinox Service Manual: Customer Satisfaction Procedure

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and to Chevrolet. Normally,any concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of the vehicle will be resolvedby your dealer's sales or service departments. Sometimes, however, despite the bestintentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has notbeen resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:

STEP ONE

Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns canbe quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already been reviewed with thesales, service, or parts manager, contact the owner of your dealership or the generalmanager.

STEP TWO

If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannotbe resolved by your dealership without further help, in the U.S., call the ChevroletCustomer Assistance Center at 1-800–222–1020. In Canada, call General Motors of CanadaCustomer Care Centre at 1-800-263-3777 (English), or 1-800-263-7854 (French).

We encourage you to call the toll-free number in order to give your inquiry promptattention. Have the following information available to give the Customer Assistancerepresentative:
