Hello, anybody home upstairs? For a moment just think about it. How many so called "services" do you subscribe to that have the following policies:
1. Force you to buy their product (OnStar telematics is a STANDARD feature which you MUST pay for when purchasing your SAAB. If it were an OPTION, few if any would buy it).
2. In order to use the product you have been FORCED to buy, you must pay a fee.
3. Some of the integral services it promises actually dont work on your type of vehicle.
4. There is NO guarantee that the "service" will be available when you need it.
5. When you actually do access the "service", you will frequently have to wait in "line" for an unspecified time until someone is available to help you.
Lets face the facts, this much less a service than a scam. DONT RENEW after the year (you also paid for when it was bundled itno the car's price) is up. The folks at OffStar want to scare you into giving them more of your money and try to hypnotize you with a few anecdotal stories about its benefits. Use your common sense. You know a con-job when you see it. You wouldn't buy any other service or product like this (so dont buy this one).
