No one likes to be taken completely by surprise during the day by unexpected events. OnStar Road Assistance covers many issues that can affect your car beyond a car accident:

  • Flat tire
  • Flat battery
  • Running out of fuel

  • Towing...

The waiting time to deliver the service is always appproximate, and you can give all the necessary details to have it done as soon as possible.

Do you need a specific type of gasoline? Your vehicle has a flat tire and you don’t have a spare? Your car stops in the middle of your journey? OnStar is here to help you anytime.


Automatic Road Assistance in Case of Impact or Theft

Our vehicles are becoming increasingly technological, and in addition to the availability of road assistance, it is possible to detect a collision and connect you with OnStar advisors in real time.


Sensors built into vehicles can detect a collision and alert an OnStar advisor without human intervention.
This is a feature also available with the OnStar Guardian app.


All you have to do is keep yourself and your loved ones safe until first responders arrive.

If a theft attempt is made on a vehicle equipped with OnStar technology, it can be traced by GPS. In addition, it can be immobilized, preventing thieves from moving it further.

OnStar’s connected services always put you in touch with trained advisors to assist you in the most relevant way possible.
