Parts and labor are covered, and if repairs are necessary, you can take your vehicle to any authorized GM Dealership in the U.S. and Canada. You will also have access to the Premium Service Contract when you purchase a GMPP. Under GMPP, the following is covered:

Other benefits to the Major Guard Plan include the Alternate Transportation perk, which means when your vehicle is repaired under Major Guard, GMACC will pay for the cost to rent a replacement vehicle or public transportation* if your repair is determined by a GM Dealership Service Department to take more than two hours or if your vehicle must be kept overnight. Another added benefit is the reimbursement of hotel and/or restaurant fees up to $150 per day if you are more than 100 miles from your home.**
Personal Design
Designed to meet the needs of each individual, you can choose what works best for your situation and anticiapted years of ownership. Want to ensure you have no out of pocket charges if the unfortunate happens? Or maybe you would like to pay a little less up front and only have to pay half of what you normally would? With deductibles ranging from $0 to $200 it's all up to you. Regardless of your choice, you will be protected under the Major Guard plan.

C. Basic Guard
Parts and Labor Costs
Patrons lease vehicles for many reasons, and today leasing is a great idea. But one we hear a lot is for a trouble free period of ownership. Please peruse the following ways you can ensure your lease is just that.
Smart Protection
The Smart Protection plan covers against virtually every mechanical failure beyond the warranty period, even those caused by wear and tear. If repairs are necessary you can take your leased vehicle to any GM Dealership across the U.S. and Canada which becomes significantly more important if your lease term is longer than the warranty or if you drive more miles than expected. The following are included in the Smart Protection plan from GMPP.
Roadside Assistance
When you're covered under Smart Guard, you will never be stuck and out of luck in the event your leased vehicle breaks down. You will have access to 24 hour roadside assistance in the U.S. and Canada when you call the toll free number provided at purchase. Benefits include:
Alternate Transportation and Trip Interruption
In the event that repairs must be made, a rental vehicle or public transportation will be made available to you under Smart Care if two or more hours are required to fix the problem or if your leased vehicle needs to be kept overnight due to undrivable damage. Also, if you are more than 100 miles from home on a trip and your vehicle breaks down, Smart Guard will reimburse your lodging and meal expenses up to $150 per day.*
Personal Design
Smart Guard is meant to make your life easier, and that wouldn't be the case if you had to conform to a pre-designed archetype. Coverage is offered in flexible time and mileage increments that you can match to your lease term. You can also add the Smart Guard payment directly to your lease payment!**
Component Coverage
There is a saying around GMPP that people have been saying for years: "From the engine to the trunk lock, if a part breaks and it's not on the list, GMPP will pay for the repair - whatever the part!" The following is the list of parts NOT covered under Smart Guard:
*$750 maximum allowance for lodging and meals; this particular coverage comes into effect after the expiration of the Manufacturer's coverage; all receipts and proofs of purchase must be given to GMACC.
**Coverage must be purchased at the time of lease inception.
Smart Care
Purchase a Smart Care plan for your new or leased vehicle, and several maintenance items are included, specifically things you have to do anyway! Included in Smart Care are oil changes (oil and filter), chassis lubrications, and tire rotations.
Smart Care, like the rest of GMPP's available options, are designed to meet your needs. There is a $0 deductible for maintenance as explained above, and coverage is offered in combination ranging from 12 months and 12,000 miles up to four years and 60,000 miles! This coverage is both for in-warranty and out-of-warranty vehicles and can be purchased any time.
OLM (Oil Life Monitor) Care
OLM Care provides easy care for the life of your vehicle investment. You can rest assured that your vehicle will perform to the highest quality because GM Technicians will maintain your vehicle when your vehicle's OLM system triggers GM recommended maintenance or inspection intervals. OLM Care covers lubrication, oil and filter, tire rotation, fluid top off, and Inspection of critical safety and mechanical components of your vehicle.
Coverage is offered in time and mileage combinations ranging from 12 months and 12,000 miles up to four years and 60,000 miles and when OLM Care is purchased, your deductible for the above mentioned services will be $0. OLM Care can also be purchased in or out of warranty at any time.
Goodwrench Care is a maintenance contract that provides basic scheduled maintenance, specifically oil changes and filters for the selected period. This is especially important in a leased vehicle, and you will always have your vehicle worked on by an authorized Mr. Goodwrench Technician and those who know your vehicle the best. They have access to advanced GM diagnostic equipment, genuine GM parts, and you'll be welcomed at any GM Dealership across the U.S. and Canada.
Goodwrench Care includes oil changes and oil filters, and is designed to your specifications. Choices can range from two to ten oil changes/filter replacements and you will have up to four years to use the purchased services, always at a $0 deductible.
We offer mechanical and mainteneance coverage for your used GM vehicle, whether used or GM Certified Used. Quality of coverage is the same as on a new or leased vehicle, and you can choose Major Guard, Value Guard, Basic Guard, or Smart Guard. Please view the information above to gain more insight into these programs.
