GM has renamed its Service Parts Operations (SPO) division – the name that entailed ACDelco, Goodwrench, and GM Performance Parts – to Customer Care and Aftersales.
In a press release, Steve Hill, newly-appointed President of the department, said, “Our new name better reflects GM’s critical role in customer retention and service after the sale. It’s going to be less about selling parts and more about taking care of customers, hence the name customer care,” Hill said of the former SPO. “All successful organizations are centered on the customer. If you’re not customer focused, you’re just not going to win.”
Expressing the value in retaining owners of the now-defunct Saturn, Hummer, and Saab owners, Hill said, “If we’re not taking care of these customers and their service needs, they’ve told us flat-out to forget about selling them a new car. If you’re not meeting their needs, there’s a zero chance of selling them a new car. Our name change is a signal that we’ve changed the way we’re doing business.”
That statement – in and of itself – makes perfect sense, especially as owners of the now-defunct brands may feel alienated by GM. Will a divisional name change keep them GM customers? We’ll find out soon enough. We have the full presser right after the break!

I recently bought a 2500 HD from a local dealer and am very anxious to fill out the customer survey as a GOOD thing! I have not received as of yet how can I get this??
I purchasesd my 2009 Pontiac Vibe in 2009. I’ve been pleased with performance and service until now.
The radio volume knob doesn’t function properly. I went to the dealer’s service department and was told they only replace whole radios and indicated there was no authorized radio repair facility. I contacted XM radio and was told the same thing; they were also happy to sell me a new radio. Both were major $$$ for a new radio.
The radio works fine except for the volume switch. Surely there must be a local authorized radio repair facility. I find it hard to believe there isn’t one.
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.
