Service Manuals
Service manuals contain diagnostic and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be
useful for owners who wish to get
a
greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners
with
the appropriate skill level or training who
wish
to
perform “do-it-yourself’ service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering
various
subjects are regularly
sent to all General Motors dealerships.
GM
monitors
product performance in the field. When service methods
are found which promote better service on
GM
vehicles,
bulletins are created to help the technician perform
better
service.
Service bulletins
may
involve any
number
of
vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive
service; others will describe expensive service. Some
will advise of new or unexpected conditions, and others
may help avoid future costly repairs. Service bulletins
are meant for qualified technicians.
In
some ,cases
bulletins refer
to
service manuals, specialized tools,
equipment and safety procedures necessary
to
service
the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout
the model year and beyond,
an
index is required and
published quarterly to help identify specific bulletins.
Subscriptions
are
available.
You
can order an index at
the toll-free numbers listed previously, or ask a
GM
dealer to see
an
index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners
with
general
operation and maintenance information.
