Why do I need a subscription to an OEM website if I have full subscription access to the I-CAR Repairability Technical Support (RTS) portal? This is a question received on a regular basis through Ask I-CAR. Let’s take a look at why and how to purchase an OEM subscription.

With your RTS subscription, you gain access to a research department in your company for the hard to find information and on the information that needs clarification. While we can't send out vehicle maker repair procedures, (due to copyright laws) we can let you know if the information exists before you spend hours and money only to find out that the information does not exist.

There are two GM websites available. The free, www.gmparts.com, website is a convenient one-stop to locate technical documents, positions statements, and the like. The pay website is where vehicle-specific body repair manuals are located.

GM has several subscription options available. To purchase a subscription:

1. Go to www.acdelcotds.com
