General Motors Free Body Repair Manuals No Longer Available
I-CAR · May 22, 2019 · General Motors, Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac
Summary
General Motors has removed free body repair manuals from its gmparts.com website because the previously posted information was too limited for safe and proper repairs. Collision repairers must now access complete GM repair procedures through paid OEM subscription channels, though some technical information, material descriptions, and position statements remain free.
What to do on the job
Stop relying on the free gmparts.com site for GM body repair manuals and instead utilize official paid GM subscription channels to obtain complete, up-to-date repair procedures.
