Roadside Asisstance

[CuttySup]

I was just wondering, I have a sticker on my car that says Oldsmobile Customer Service, 24-hour Roadside Assistance, with a number: 1-800-442-OLDS. Does that service expire, or is it for the life of the vehicle? Or does it expire with the company?

I pealed the sticker off ages ago....assuming that it was only for the term of the warranty....

[HokemBokem]

Yea I doubt that would still be active after 7 years.

Basically expires with the warranty. I have a feeling they'd laugh if you called now.

I wonder if that number would still be in service, now that olds is gone.

*Vehicles sold in Canada have a separate roadside assistance program, as described in the Owner's Manual.

so concurrent to the bumper to bumper warranty would mean that it's void after the 3year/36,000 mile warranty, correct?

You're correct. I always thought that you could still call after it's up, but you'll get charged out the ass(I'll ask my parents, I think they called for my 93 GP once when they had the keys locked in the car...after the warranty was up ) though.

The number is still in service even though Olds is gone. Every division of GM has their own roadside/customer assistance number. They all dump calls to the same place.

I actually called Pontiac roadside assistance when I wanted to know how long the spare should last and if it was safe to drive on after 15 years. They were honestly helpful, but I think the girl on the line got a kick out of it.

it should be good. mine worked fine when i needed it.

 

i've seen low-mile 60's muscle cars with the original tires at shows and shit so i assume a 15 yr old spare would be good
