My 2019 purchased in 2018 comes with 2 in the first year. Must only apply to those sold in 2019???

My 2019 bought in Oct 18 came with initial break in oil change and 2 more routine oil changes. With the miles I drive that shoukd be good for 2 more years.

You might check with your dealer, bought my 19 Z in 18, it came with the break in oil change and one other within a year, I did confirm this with the dealer.

Well, it's still one more than Ford offers.

Seems that the bean counters are in charge at GM. The termination of 4000 salaried employees starts on Monday. Ms. Barra is tough.

There is nothing Free in life. Those complimentary services are priced into the final product price. GM more than likely sees the reduction in those services as a way to keep price increases down as we head into a more uncertain future from the perspective of the Automakers. It looks like there is a huge paradigm shift coming to the automotive market with societal changes influencing how many people will own cars and the rapid movement to electrically driven and autonomous vehicles resulting in a vastly different market than we have seen over the last 100 years. The total number of new car sales will probably reduce drastically over the next 10 to 15 years and companies will need to be nimble to stay relevant over that time period.

I dont see GM or any manufacturer passing on the cost savings of less free service to the consumer. The cost savings in most cases is 2 oil changes not a big chunk of change in the scheme of things. They will still raise thier prices on cars/trucks whenever they feel like it

When have they ever not been in charge @ GM?

As for the loss of a "free" oil change, given how poorly the one "free" oil change I tried to use went, this could actually be viewed as an improvement in service!

I'm still trying to figure out when three years was ever in the mix for a C7?

I agree with this. Cost increases are going to happen anyway.

What a tiny thing to be concerned about, not even a First World Problem. My local dealer offers a LIFETIME powertrain warranty that even includes rental cars. $0 deductible. If you have a good local dealer, they'll take care of you no matter what GM corporate does.

Haven't used the "free"oil change and won't - I do it myself. As far as Ms. Barra being tough - no way, she is taking the easy way out. Rather than getting rid of the executive dead wood that has planned poor selling cars and the marketing people that can't spell she is just going for the generic cuts to the working folks.

Yep......some dealers are gold!

Uh...never!!

Or not. The predictions of everyone abandoning living in suburbia to move to the inner cities where cars are superfluous have proven 100% false. Most all population growth in the last 5 10 years has been in suburbia. People are by nature impatient and want to do what they want and when they want. If you have ever waited an hour for a Uber, you will understand why car ownership for those not living in the big cities will not be going away any time soon (meaning within then next 30 years). It will take a complete paradigm shift in how and what hours people work to allow for pooled use of vehicles to actually work - cars may sit 90% of the day, but during 75% of that time, no one else really needs to use them either. Once we transition out of working set hours and at fixed places of employment, with Amazon fresh delivering all our food and virtual reality being the substitute for travel, the need for cars will drop significantly.
