On Star Vehicle Safety and Security

Share and Enjoy:

When looking at cars at a GM Dealership, we had the opportunity to get a demonstration on the On Star Security System.  I am no expert in Security Systems, but I was told that this system does not require a whole lot of knowledge.  On Star and GM do all the hard work for you.

It was interesting to see how this system could really protect you.  It does more then just protect your vehicle; it also helps to provide protection to you and passengers by offering help during crisis situations.  

It is more then just a security system to protect your car from being stolen, it is also a safety system for you and your passengers.  It allows for more peace of mind when traveling.

We were unable to purchase a vehicle at that time, because all models were out of our price range.  We are now working to be able to afford one of these GM vehicles with On Star.  Having a security system like On star is worth it. 

I would recommend this service.  Visit http://www.onstar.com for more information about this great Vehicle Safety and Security System.

  13. I used to have a car with On Star, it was very handy. I loved it and miss not having it now. It is one option I will be considering when I go to purchase a new vehicle this summer. Thanks for sharing your views on the product.

  14. I've always liked the idea of OnStar, but I wish it was something that was offered on non-GM vehicles. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

  15. I've seen the commercials and I've wondered how it worked. I think it would be especially nice to have if I traveled more.

  19. i heard about onstar and mostly positive reviews. great review. voted.

  20. OnStar is a great service to have on your vehicle! I work as a dispatcher for a Sheriff's Office and I've been able to communicate with OnStar many times when a vehicle has been stolen and they were able to use the GPS tracking in the OnStar system to locate the vehicle for me. They can even lock the cars doors with the suspects still inside if we wanted! :o) Great review and I hope you can afford a car with this in the near future!

  21. What a great idea, hu? It's one of those things that you pay for just in case you ever need it...but it can be sooooo worth the investment even if you only have to use it once. It's like an extension of auto insurance. The next time my family is in the market for a new vehicle we'll be considering one with OnStar.

  24. We do not have On Star & I hope one day that all cars will automatically have this wonderful feature-it can really help to save lives! I enjoyed your review!
