GM Announces Certified Service for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac Brands

2010-11-08

DETROIT, MI – As part of the initiative to better connect General Motors’ brands with customers, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will each receive its own Certified Service brand.

Chevrolet Certified Service, Buick Certified Service, GMC Certified Service and Cadillac Certified Service are being launched as part of a larger strategy by the company to strengthen the relationship between the customer and the four brands.

“Our number one priority is providing a world-class ownership experience that creates positive long-lasting relationships with our customers,” said Steve Hill, vice president and general manager, GM Customer Care and Aftersales. “Certified Service supports GM’s strategy to focus on the four brands – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac -- and is a natural extension of the customer’s vehicle purchase experience at the dealership.

"This is more than a name change -- it is a declaration of our commitment to our customers, with exclusive vehicle diagnostics and connectivity via OnStar, competitively priced services and parts, increased advisor and technician training, and working jointly with our dealers to focus on customer satisfaction."

Customers will continue to receive competitively priced service performed by trained experts who know their vehicles best at dealerships across the country. Service is an integral part of vehicle ownership, and customers who are satisfied with their service experience are much more likely to return to the dealership.

As an extension of this strategy, GM will phase out the Goodwrench brand name effective Feb. 1, 2011 in the United States.
 
Ya know... I'm not too surprised.

The General seems to have been out to whack brands- regardless of whether they were real products- or merely services. However, brand identification is huge as GM slogs it out with the onslaught of other brands- Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and the list goes on. Anything outside of the core brands- Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Caddy- would merely dilute what brand equity GM has.

FWIW- Lots of other business are rethinking their aggregate brands as they try to compete in the current economy.
 
I hate to see the branding go. At some point, I had always hoped to see this sponsor on the NASCAR cirucit again.
