Had to tow the truck in for the upgrade. They literally don't call check nothing. Just shut the truck down so he can't drive it. The new service is ridiculous.
I would fact check that with the guy that told you that story, Onstar will not shut down a vehicle for service. The only time they will is if the vehicle is report stolen or kidnapping and they have the permission for the owner and police and then only in a safe situation will they shut it down. They can all do it for non payment but that is a lot of paperwork to do that including court order.

One of my friends is a high ranking manager with Onstar and when I showed home this post he told me that in now way will they ever shut vehicle down for a service call.
