Customer Satisfaction Procedure

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your Saturn retailer and to General Motors of Canada Limited. Normally, any questions or concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your retailer's Sales or Service Departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:

STEP ONE - Discuss your concern with a member of your retailer's management team. Normally, concerns can be resolved at that level. If the concern has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service or Parts Manager, contact the owner of the retailer facility or the General Manager.

STEP TWO - If after contacting a member of your retailer's management team, it appears your concern cannot be resolved at the retail facility without further help, contact the Saturn Customer Communication Centre by calling 1-800-263-1999, 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

A Customer Communication Centre Advisor will handle your call and assist in providing product and warranty information, nearest retailer locations, brochures, literature, and discuss any concerns you may have.

From prompt assistance, please have the following information available to give to the Customer Communication Advisor.

    • Your name, address, home and business telephone number
    • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate attached to the left top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.
    • Retailer name and location
    • Vehicle's delivery date and present odometer reading
    • Nature of the concern

Customers are encouraged to call the toll-free number for assistance. However, if a customer wishes to write, the letter should be addressed to : Saturn Customer Communication Centre, 1908 Colonel Sam Drive, Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7.

When contacting General Motors of Canada Limited, please remember your concern will likely be resolved with the Saturn retailer, using the retailer's facilities, equipment and personnel. That is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have a concern.

General Motors of Canada Limited Participation in the Mediation/Arbitration Program

STEP THREE: In the event that you do not feel your concerns have been addressed after following the procedure outlined in steps 1 and 2, General Motors of Canada Limited wants you to be aware of its participation in a no-charge Mediation/Arbitration program.
