Service: Cadillac Roadside Assistance uses the services of Assist Australia Pty Ltd to provide the entitlements.
Service Limitations: Cadillac Roadside Assistance services will be refused where, under initial inspection, it can be reasonably determined that the vehicle has undergone major body modifications or has been participating in any form of motor sport, the driver has been engaged in unlawful activity or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or where there is a perceived safety risk in supplying any of the services.
Remote Areas: In remote areas you may experience delays in obtaining Cadillac Roadside Assistance owing to your location, the availability of the Service Provider and accessibility. Remote areas are defined as areas that are sparsely populated and where Auto Club services are not readily available.
Home Assistance: Cadillac Roadside Assistance will be provided at the home address in the same way as at roadside. However, during times of peak demand, 'at roadside' calls will be given priority over that of 'at home' calls for assistance.
Unattended Vehicles: The driver, or a representative, must wait with the vehicle until the Service Provider arrives. Unattended vehicles will not be serviced under any circumstances. Where the driver has elected an authorised representative, the representative must hold a current driver's license in case the vehicle is required to be moved.
Natural Disasters / Industrial Disputes: If a natural disaster or an industrial dispute places extraordinary demands on service resources, Cadillac Roadside Assistance may alter and/or offer alternative assistance. If a disabled vehicle cannot be reached owing to events such as floods or bushfires etc, Cadillac Roadside Assistance will endeavour to provide whatever assistance is practicable under the circumstances.
Damage during Service: If you believe your vehicle has been damaged as a result of a Cadillac Roadside Assistance service, you should contact Cadillac Care on 1800 223 455 (Option 3) The vehicle in question must be inspected by a person authorised by Cadillac and agreement gained prior to any further repairs being undertaken.

Country Areas: In country areas, your vehicle will be towed to the nearest authorised Cadillac Service Centre or the Roadside Service Provider's facility, whichever is nearer. If your vehicle cannot be mobilised at the Service Provider's facility, your vehicle will be transported to the nearest authorised Cadillac Service Centre as soon as is practicable.
Metropolitan Taxi Service: Where Roadside Assistance offers a taxi journey to the driver as a result of the vehicle being unable to be driven due to a mechanical breakdown, a one-way journey will be provided from the incident site up to the value of $110*. Any additional fares and/or subsequent taxi trips will be at the expense of the driver
Tyre/Wheel Changing: Cadillac Roadside Assistance will provide a tow to the nearest facility that is able to supply and/or repair the tyre/wheel

If your battery is out of warranty a replacement battery can be arranged and installed at your expense.
Cargo: Cadillac or its Service Provider will accept no responsibility for the security and/or any loss associated with a disabled vehicle's cargo which may result from providing Roadside Assistance and/or towing.
Neglect and/or Abuse: Cadillac or its Service Provider will not be responsible for additional or increased costs and expenses owing as a result of vehicle abuse or neglect by the owner/driver.
