Protection FAQ
WHAT COVERAGE LEVELS DOES THE PROTECTION PLAN OFFER?
There are two levels of coverage offered through the Protection Plan: Silver and Platinum. Silver provides basic component coverage, while Platinum covers most mechanical and electrical components on your GMC, but not all parts are covered. Ask us for more details on both plans. The Protection Plan includes a number of term and mileage options you can choose from.
WHERE SHOULD I GET MY GMC REPAIRED?
During the term covered by your plan, you may have covered repairs completed at any Certified Service center.
WHAT DEDUCTIBLE LEVELS ARE AVAILABLE?
Deductible levels include $0, $100, and the Disappearing Deductible feature.
WHAT IS A DISAPPEARING DEDUCTIBLE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Disappearing Deductible feature provides the ability to waive the $100 deductible when you return to the dealership where you purchased the plan for a repair covered under the plan. If you go to another dealership for a covered repair, you will have to pay the $100 deductible.
HOW DOES THE GMC PROTECTION PLAN COMPARE TO THE GM CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE COVERAGE?
The GM Certified Pre-Owned program provides a 12-Month/12,000-Mile (from date of purchase) Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, whichever comes first, along with 5-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage from the new-vehicle in-service date, whichever comes first.
Every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from GMC comes with a transferable 5-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, plus Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation.
The GMC Protection Plan can begin when the GM Certified Pre-Owned coverage expires (subject to a 30-day and 1,000-mile waiting period), for whatever time and mileage option you choose to purchase. For more information, see the Protection Plan Vehicle Service Contract.
WHAT IS THE COMMERCIAL-USE SURCHARGE?
It provides your Protection Plan coverage if you intend to use your GMC vehicle for work-related purposes such as jobsite activities, delivery of goods, service or repair work, farming, ranching, route work, or snow removal. The Commercial-Use Surcharge is paid at the time of contract purchase.
DOES THE PROTECTION PLAN EXCLUDE ANY USES OF GMC VEHICLES?
The Protection Plan does not provide coverage for vehicles that are being or will be used for: taxi, rental, limousine or shuttle service, towing/wrecker service, police or emergency service, dumping (dump beds), cherry pickers, lifting or hoisting, principally off-road, or prearranged or organized racing or competitive driving.
