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.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
