Nothing yet for any Oil changes. Theres a Problem with the tire Rotation--->What do they do about the In tire Air sensors, Tell us what tire they put where    :idk:    :rofl:

They just reprogram their new location into the system no big deal.

Had to do the same thing on my 08 Silverado.  Easy, takes time without the computer that the dealer has, but can be done on your own.  It is something like "hold down CTR ALT DEL" press 7, dial your mom on the phone, water the flowers, eat a hamburger, OK your done.

Something like that.

If anyone needs the real procedure, let me know, I can get it for you.

OK,
stole this from a NAK3D member, was posted on BB:

TPMS Matching Process for Vehicles
with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press and hold the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter’s LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, at the
same time, for about five seconds to start the TPMS
learn mode. The horn sounds twice indicating the
TPMS receiver is ready and in learn mode.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
front turn signal also comes on to indicate that
corner’s sensor is ready to be learned.
5. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for about
eight seconds. The horn chirp, can take up to
30 seconds to sound. It chirps one time and then
all the turn signals flash one time to confirm the
sensor identification code has been matched to
the tire/wheel position.
6. The passenger side front turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side front tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. The passenger side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side rear tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. The driver side rear turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the single horn chirp for the driver
side rear tire, two additional horn chirps sound
to indicate the tire learning process is done.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
If no tires are learned after entering the TPMS learn
mode, or if communication with the receiver stops, or
if the time limit has expired, turn the ignition switch to
LOCK/OFF and start over beginning with Step 2.

Woohoo, got mine yesterday.  Nothing for my wifes new Saturn though.  Maybe we'll see something a little later since we got hers after mine.

Thanks for TPMS reset thing Jack.  Gonna stash a copy in the glovebox.

Got both letters last week.  Will use the oil change in about a week when it warms up a little.  They can do the tire rotation and TPMS thing too... What a pain but thanks Jack for the information.
I'm very intelligent, but I mask it by doing stupid stuff.

I think they are working together on this - I got the letter from GM for the 1 year free maint & the $1000 coupon & then the dealer sent me an e-mail for the same thing.

I haven't gotten one yet.  I bought my GXP from a different dealer than the dealer I've been to for most of my service and I've done some of the service myself........

Well, I never got the certificates for my car (bought new in August, dealership now closed) - so I called Pontiac Customer Assistance.  Guy there knew nothing about it (big surprise) and suggested I call Marketing  and put me through.  They said basically "sorry - only certain owners were targeted and if you didn't get it already, you won't" I pushed, spoke to a supervisor who told me the same thing and said they had no other info.  Basically if you didn't get them, you're SOL.

Wonderful GM customer service.  Not.

Really!  I bought my 2009 in March last year and got my letter a few weeks ago.  Wonder why I was "targeted" and you weren't?   :huh:

You don't seem to get it at all if you're Canadian. We had no blow out pricing when they were getting rid of Pontiacs and no free maintenance. Kind o' sucks.

Maybe thats the problem. My dealer was a Pontiac, Cadilac and Honda dealer and Pontiac is no more and he lost the Cadilac franchise as he did not sell enough and now is only Honda. Damn. My oil life is at 1% too.
