When a manufacturer recall is issued for a particular vehicle, the manufacturer provides the parts and labor necessary for the repair free of charge. After this repair is made, the dealership logs the vehicle identification number and stores this information in a computerized database. This information is kept on file in order to keep track of which vehicles have been repaired. In order to obtain this information, the VIN is needed.
A warranty is a written guarantee that certain parts of your vehicle will continue to work or will be repaired or replaced at no expense for a certain period of time. GM warranties often come with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation while your vehicle is being repaired. Most warranties last for a certain amount of time, such as five years, or for a certain amount of miles driven, such as 100,000 miles.
Over the course of owning a car, you can accumulate many repair invoices. They become a diary of the car's mechanical ups and downs. Transferring the data from these facility-generated documents to one central location can prove efficient and economically expedient. What a relief it will be when you get a call to approve repairs to be able to refer to a book that contains your vehicle's entire repair history.
