Taking care of your vehicle can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Staying informed about your car’s health ensures you can prevent problems before they arise and keep your vehicle running smoothly. Here are several ways you can stay in the know about your vehicle’s condition:

  1. GET MONTHLY EMAIL REPORTS: You can sign up for monthly emails about your vehicle’s health. This includes diagnostic information on your vehicle systems as well as required maintenance based on items such as your oil life and tire pressure.
  2. DIAGNOSTC ALERTS: Get real time email or text updates by opting in to diagnostic alerts.
  3. PROACTIVE ALERTS: Your vehicle can predict potential maintenance needs from key components like your battery and starter, depending on your vehicle. And notify you even before they become a problem. You can receive proactive alerts by text or email, or you can speak with an OnStar advisor.
  4. DEALER MAINTENANCE NOTIFICATION: Let your vehicle notify your preferred dealership when it is time for maintenance so they can contact you and schedule an appointment. You can activate this notification upon vehicle purchase or by pushing the blue OnStar button to speak to an advisor.
  5. CONDUCT ON DEMAND DIAGNOSTICS: Push the blue OnStar button to ask an advisor to run a real time check on your vehicle’s engine, transmission, anti-lock brakes and more.
