Business Choice Program. GMC and Chevrolet.

 

Anyone ever use this program? To qualify, ones does need to own/have a business. But small businesses are as good as a larger business in this program.

 

Just curious if there were any business owners out there or those self-employed.

From what I understand, you must have a Tax ID number and the Truck must be registered to the business. When I bought my truck they were offering the Cargo Management System and about $900.00 in accessories for the CMS free under that program. Awesome deal for those with a business!

I got free tool boxes with this program for the cargo management system. If you own a business, you get free stuff. Simple. The truck doesn't need to be purchased, leased or titled to your business. You can put everything in your own name. Just prove that you own a business by supplying business cards, letterhead, tax ID, ect... It was really easy and saved me a bunch of money on something that I would have purchased anyway.

I asked about it, and was told I needed to supply all that stuff before I finalized the paperwork to purchase the vehicle! I would have liked to have gotten a couple toolboxes, I didn't need the rack... My wife has a Tax Id for her business, and those tool boxes would hold a boat load of cosmetics! LOL!

All I had to do was supply a business card before the sale, then as we completed the transaction (ordered truck) a month later they asked for the tax ID and letterhead to submit to GM. I think the business must be directly owned by the owner of the truck (not your wife) and has to have something to do with needing a truck.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that whole "needing the truck for the business" part probably played into it! I tried to tell them she had one hell of a client list and did her own deliveries, but all I got was a funny look!

My limited understanding of the Business Choice Program is that all one has to have is a business. Self-employed is fine. The business does not have to have anything to do with the truck although that may be the reason one is purchasing a truck.

 

One dealer told me that the truck/vehicle has to be titled in the business name while others state that is not necessary.

 

One does need proof of a business. But any business will do. Maybe it is just the trades. None asked me.

On some models options only available to fleet buyers are available to Business Choice.

 

And if one has a GM charge card, all points can be used.

I chose the $600 offer for applying for the GM card-which is an option -They give you the card with a $600 credit on it to do what you want with. I needed my fein # and didnt have to put it in my company name.

I purchased a 2500 LTZ CCLB in april and received the sliding tool box and ladder racks for free. I gave them a voided bussiness check and copies of my Sams Club and BJ's club bussiness membership cards and signed the form for GM Program. I was self employed without a Tax ID and dealer said they were sufficiant for the program. :)

I think there is a lot of mis-information out there especially at smaller dealerships.

 

As one salesman at one dealer told me that vehicle has to be titled in the business name.

 

I have since contacted GM Fleet to get much clarified. They advised to always ask for the Commercial or Fleet salesperson.

 

One can order any and all of the restricted to retail customers fleet options. Such as SEO colors - non-brochure colors.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
