2014 GM U.S. Models to Include New Maintenance Plan for Cars and Trucks, Free Scheduled Service for 2 Years

Jun 06, 2013 12:59 PM EDT | Matt Mercuro

Customers who purchase a new 2014 GM vehicle will be covered by a brand new maintenance program that includes certain scheduled services for up to two years or 24,000, whichever happens first.

All 2014 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC car, crossover and truck vehicles will be covered according to a company press release.

"This new plan will kick off our customers' ownership experience on the right foot and keep our strong sales momentum going," said Dan Akerson, General Motors Chairman and CEO in a press statement.

The new program was announced at GM's 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. 

The maintenance program includes complete oil and filter change, a 27-point inspection based on the vehicle's specific owner's manual and four-wheel tire rotation.

The program covers up to four service visits in the 24-month period, and is transferrable to subsequent owners. Customers who have already purchased or leased a 2014 model year vehicle will receive the maintenance program according to GM.

"We know that customers who service their vehicles at our dealerships are much more likely to purchase another GM product down the road," Akerson said.  "It's all the more important to bring customers to our service facilities for routine maintenance to further enhance the quality and reliability of their GM vehicles."

Cadillac vehicles released starting with the 2011 model year are already covered by Cadillac Premium Care Maintenance Program, which covers scheduled maintenance services including oil changes, tire rotation, most air filter replacements and an inspection for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
