Additional Benefits of GMC Ownership

December 20th, 2025 by

You’ve just purchased your new GMC truck or SUV and are ready to explore everything it can do for you. However, you are not only starting your relationship with your new GMC model but also with GMC as a company. There are several ways that GMC supports and helps you after your purchase, and Valley GMC is happy to inform you about them.

The myGMC Mobile App 

One of the first things you should do after driving your new GMC home is to download the myGMC app on your smartphone. The app is designed to improve your ownership experience in several ways, especially since all new GMC purchases include three years of the Remote Access Plan, which offers several benefits, such as: 

  • Remote Commands – Allow you to remotely lock/unlock your doors, help you locate your vehicle by flashing the lights, honking the horn, and, on vehicles equipped with this feature, start/stop your vehicle from nearly anywhere.  
  • Vehicle Locate – Enables you to identify your vehicle’s location, along with walking directions to its current position. You can also send points of interest directly to your vehicle’s built-in navigation system if so equipped.   
  • Vehicle Health – Enables you to monitor your vehicle’s condition from your phone, including fuel range, tire pressure, oil life, odometer, and other vehicle statuses. You can also review diagnostic information on key systems, which indicates whether maintenance or service is needed.

The Benefits of OnStar 

Adding an OnStar plan will provide increased reassurance and confidence, knowing that whatever happens, certified OnStar Advisors have your back 24/7 with the push of a button.

OnStar Features include: 

  • Crisis Assist: Wherever cell phone service or GPS exists, OnStar can provide immediate help from an advisor during severe weather, flooding, fire, or other emergencies. 
  • Roadside Assistance – When you need help, OnStar can provide assistance with the push of your vehicle’s OnStar button or through your mobile app   
  • Automatic Crash Response – Your GMC model’s built-in sensors can detect if your vehicle has been in an accident and automatically alert an OnStar Emergency-Certified Advisor, who can then contact emergency services if needed. 
  • Stolen Vehicle Assistance – Utilizing GPS tracking built into your vehicle, OnStar Advisors can locate your stolen vehicle, prevent it from restarting, and collaborate with law enforcement to recover it.   

A benefit available to owners of 2024 or newer Denali or Denali Ultimate trim levels or Hummer EV models is three complimentary years of the OnStar Plan, which includes:
