GUARDIAN MAINTENANCE FOR OWNER PROTECTION
Your 1969 Chevrolet product has
been engineered to provide maximum
service with minimum owner main-
tenance service requirements. How-
ever, certain maintenance services,
which must be performed on a time or
mileage basis, depending on the
amount of driving you do, will ensure
that you continue to receive the maxi-
mum in performance, dependability,
and durability which have been built
into your car.
The quality of maintenance your
new car receives is as important as the
regularity with which it
is
serviced.
The "Guardian Maintenance Service"
program has been developed by the
Chevrolet Motor Division in coopera-
tion with Chevrolet Authorized Deal-
ers to provide nationwide quality in
customer service. The program in-
cludes the training of dealer techni-
cians at General Motors Training
Centers throughout the country as
well as at local Chevrolet sponsored
schools, with a continuous follow-up
of publications, films, and otherserv-
ice information. No one else has more
knowledge of servicing your Chevro-
let than your Chevrolet Authorized
Dealer and his trained service techni-
cians.
Other important contributions to
Chevrolet's "Guardian Maintenance
Service" program are; the use of gen-'
uine General Motors parts and acces-
sories which have the same high qual-
ity standard as the original equipment
and the use of Chevrolet approved
tools developed and tested for use by
Chevrolet Dealers.

replacement of service items as de-

varying road surfaces, individual driv-
