Enrollment Surpasses 100,000 in First Month Following Announcement
DETROIT, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- OnStar subscribers are responding
enthusiastically to the opportunity to participate in the OnStar
Vehicle Diagnostics program, another valued addition to OnStar's
popular array of safety, security and peace of mind services. In
the first month since OnStar launched the innovative, new, monthly
e-mail vehicle diagnostic service, enrollment has surpassed 100,000
customers. "As we had expected, our subscribers have
enthusiastically embraced OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics. Now, over
100,000 vehicles are sending their owners monthly e-mails to tell
them how they are doing," said Chet Huber, OnStar president.
"That's just part of what OnStar brings to GM's Total Value
Promise, giving customers unique, important services and, in this
case, at no additional price," he added. OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics
automatically performs hundreds of diagnostic checks on four key GM
vehicle operating systems -- the engine/transmission, anti-lock
brakes, airbag and OnStar. The vehicle is automatically programmed
to send the results via e-mail to the owner each month. The unique
e-mail report also provides maintenance reminders based on the
vehicle's current odometer reading, remaining engine oil-life and
other relevant vehicle ownership and OnStar subscription
information. For more OnStar information or to download a
