Buying a New Chevy at Webb Chevy Plainfield? You Now Get 12 Months of OnStar One

Here’s a perk that just got a lot bigger. Starting October 1, 2026, eligible new 2026 and 2027 Chevrolet retail vehicles include 12 months of OnStar One, not the one-month trial buyers used to get. When you take delivery of a qualifying new Chevy at Webb Chevy Plainfield, that full year comes with it.

For families shuttling between Plainfield, Joliet, Naperville and Bolingbrook, and for truck owners who rack up miles on Route 30, Route 59 and I-55, a year of built-in safety and connectivity adds up fast.

How long is OnStar One included on a new Chevy now?

Twelve months for eligible new 2026 and newer retail vehicles that activate OnStar on or after October 1, 2026. Before that date, most new Chevys came with a one-month OnStar One trial.

The difference is real. One month was a test drive. Twelve months is enough time to use OnStar through a full season of Illinois weather, a summer of road trips and a school year of carpools. That’s long enough to know whether you want to keep it.

GM also dropped the welcome call. Enrollment now happens digitally through the myChevrolet app, so setup is faster and you aren’t waiting on a callback.

Does my new Chevy qualify?

If you’re buying a new 2026 or 2027 Chevrolet for personal use and OnStar is activated on or after October 1, 2026, it most likely qualifies. Here’s how the rules shake out:

• New 2026 and newer retail vehicles: 12 months of OnStar One.
• Select Chevy, Buick and GMC models, plus Cadillac: these already include 3 years of OnStar One, and that doesn’t change.
• Pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned: not part of this update. Existing trial terms still apply.
• OnStar Basics: a separate plan included for up to 8 years on 2025 and newer GM vehicles. OnStar One sits on top of it.

Don’t guess. Coverage is tied to the VIN. Ask your Webb Chevy Plainfield sales consultant to verify your exact OnStar term before you sign. It takes them about a minute.

What’s actually included in OnStar One?

OnStar One is GM’s all-in connected plan. It combines OnStar’s safety services with its connectivity features, so you get one plan instead of piecing several together.

When something goes wrong

• Automatic Crash Response can connect you to an Advisor and send your location to first responders after a crash.
• Roadside Assistance helps with flat tires, fuel, fender-benders and towing at the push of the blue button.
• Stolen Vehicle Assistance helps police find your vehicle and, in certain situations, slow it down.
• 24/7 emergency help through the emergency button.

Every other day

• Wi-Fi hotspot that keeps multiple devices online on the road.
• myChevrolet app remote commands like remote start, lock and unlock, and climate control on equipped vehicles.
• Vehicle health at a glance, including oil life, tire pressure and fuel level, right in the app.
• Streaming and voice features on compatible vehicles.

Exact features depend on the model and equipment, so confirm with your consultant or review OnStar’s plan details.

How does it help southwest suburban drivers?

Plainfield drivers put on miles. Commutes, sports schedules and weekend trips add up, and that’s exactly where OnStar One earns its keep.

• Silverado and truck owners: if you’re towing a boat or camper out past Route 30, Roadside Assistance and crash response matter more on quieter stretches than in town.
• Families in Traverse, Equinox and Tahoe SUVs: the hotspot keeps the back row entertained on the drive to Starved Rock or the Wisconsin Dells, and keeps the front row sane.
• Winter mornings: remote start from the kitchen beats scraping ice in a dark driveway.
• Commuters on I-55 and Route 59: traffic incidents happen. Having crash response and the blue button one push away is simple peace of mind.

Best for drivers who log serious miles, families with devices in the back seat, and anyone who tows. If you mostly drive around town, the safety services are still the part you’ll be glad you had.

Frequently asked questions

The bottom line

I like this change because it fixes a real problem. A one-month trial ended before most people figured out what OnStar could do for them. With 12 months, you get a full year of remote starts on frozen mornings, Wi-Fi on family road trips and crash response on every commute. If you’re shopping for a new Chevy in Plainfield, this is value that comes standard, so make sure it’s set up before you drive off.
