24 Hour Roadside Assistance

Whether you've locked your keys in your car, had a flat tire, or simply run out of gas, it's good to know that help is only a phone call away. All Optimum Vehicles feature 3 months or 5,000 kilometres (whichever comes first) of 24-hour roadside assistance. That includes trip interruption coverage and a convenient trip routing service to help you quickly find your way. And that means peace-of-mind motoring wherever the road might lead.

Your Optimum Used Vehicle Limited Warranty includes Roadside Assistance with coverage equal to the warranty period of time or warranty distance (whichever comes first).

If a vehicle is still within the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, it's covered by GM Roadside Assistance. By calling 1 800 268 6800 a service operator is dispatched to the scene. Should this service not remedy the problem, the vehicle will be towed to the nearest GM Dealership or GM authorized repair facility. In addition, a winching service is provided to pull your vehicle out of mud and snow, up to a maximum benefit of $100 per occurrence.

If an Optimum Vehicle is a non-General Motors vehicle and is still within the manufacturer's warranty period, you are covered by that manufacturer's Roadside Assistance Program, if any.

Note: If the manufacturer of your non-GM vehicle, which is still within the manufacturer's warranty period, does not offer a Roadside Assistance Program, General Motors will provide 3 months or 5,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, of GM Roadside Assistance from the date of vehicle purchase of the Optimum Vehicle.

If an Optimum Used Vehicle has less than 3 months and 5,000 km of remaining Manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty, General Motors will provide 3 months or 5,000 km, whichever comes first, of GM Roadside Assistance from the date of purchase of the Optimum Used Vehicle.
