The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
concerned with auto repair and/or consumer protection are conducted.
Feedback from these representatives are brought back to members, and
the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE in cooperation with the
Council of Better Business Bureaus and individual participating
Bureaus. MAP "piloted" in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh during spring,
1996 - and publicized "roll-outs" in New Jersey, Detroit (MI), Chicago
(IL) and Richmond (VA) were conducted. To put some "teeth" in the
program, and accreditation requirement for shops was initiated. The
requirements are stringent and a self-policing method has been
incorporated which includes the "mystery shopping" of outlets. In
addition, a committee of service providers had been working diligently
developing standards for newspaper, television and Internet
advertising.
We welcome you to join us as we continue our outreach ...
with your support, both the automotive repair industry and your
customers will reap the benefits. Please visit MAP at our Internet

OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS & SUGGESTIONS
It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, ABS, steering and
suspension, wheel alignment, tires and wheels, driveline, engine
performance and maintenance and heating, ventilation and air
conditioning services be offered and performed under the guidelines
and procedures specified in these sections.
Before any service is performed on a vehicle, an inspection
of the appropriate system must be performed. The results of this
inspection must be explained to the customer and documented on an
inspection form. The condition of the vehicle and its components will
indicate what services/part replacements may be required or suggested.
In addition, suggestions may be made to satisfy the needs expressed by
the customer.
This section lists the various parts and conditions that
indicate required or suggested service or part replacement. Although
this list is extensive, it is not inclusive. In addition to this list,
a technician may make a suggestion. This suggestion must be based on
substantial and informed experience or the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended service interval.

MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program (MAP) is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
The Motorist Assurance Program was established as an
industry-wide effort to address concerns raised by regulators, the
media and consumers questioning our ethics and methods of doing
business. The automotive repair industry had been bombarded by months
of negative stories in the media and scrutiny from state and federal
regulators who focused on how the need for repairs is determined. MAP
was formed as an industry response to this issue.
Our mission is to strengthen the relationship between the
consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce materials that give
motorists the information and encouragement to take responsibility for
their vehicles - through proper, manufacturer-recommended,
maintenance. We encourage participatinf service and repair shops
(including franchisees and dealers) to adopt a Pledge to their
Customers and the Motorist Assurance Program developed Standards of
Service. All participating service providers have agreed to subscribe
to this Pledge and to adhere to the promulgated Standards of Service
which demonstrates to their customers that they are serious about
customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made according to industry guidelines.
After learning that neither the car manufacturers nor any other source
had complete guidelines, leading industry organizations, along with
other industry participants banded together to address this
challenging task. During the past two and a half years, they
successfully developed industry inspection guidelines for the
following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical systems.
Guidelines for Drive Train and Transmision are currently being
promulgated. Revisions to the inspection guidelines for Exhaust,
Brakes/ABS and Steering and Suspension Systems, which were issued two
years ago, are now being published for implementation beginning spring
1997. Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection Guidelines
as part of the inspection process and for communicating their findings
to their customers.
