INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
The Motorist Assurance Program was formed in 1992 by forty
(40) companies who were concerned about the image of automotive
service establishments. Today, MAP is an industry-wide association
dedicated to strengthening consumer satisfaction with the automotive
repair industry. MAP's participants represent the majority of the
nation's multi-bay retail automotive outlets, their parts and
equipment suppliers, independent repair shops, industry associations,
car companies, manufacturers representatives, and the trade press. MAP
is developing standards of service, uniform inspection procedures
and other programs to assure consumers of the industry's
professionalism and the commitment to excellence shared by MAP's
sponsoring companies.
MAP's achievements to date include production and
distribution (over 280,000) of the consumer brochure "How to Find Your
Way Under the Hood and Around Your Car", development of a Pledge of
Satisfaction to Consumers and Standards of Service and establishment
of relationships with regulatory agencies.
As auto repair becomes an issue for federal and state
regulators, MAP is working to educate government leaders on the
dynamics of automotive service and the self-monitoring efforts MAP has
undertaken on the industry's behalf. MAP's sponsoring companies are
becoming well-known to government representatives as exemplary
businesses working to improve the industry. Media sources also look to
MAP to provide information and advice to consumers and on working with
automotive technicians and repair establishments.
In the next few months, MAP plans to assist member repair
facilities in implementing the MAP Pledge to Customers, establishing
an alternate dispute resolution system to help resolve customer
complaints within the industry, and developing a shop accreditation
program to encourage policies in concert with the MAP Standards of
Service and Inspection Guidelines.
MAP has united the aftermarket behind its consumer-oriented
goals and has established itself both within and outside of the
industry. We welcome you to join us as MAP continues its outreach.
With your support, both the automotive repair industry and your
customers will reap the benefits. Please contact MAP at:

INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
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.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work

Determine the need to recondition based upon individual
rotor conditions that follow. Friction material replacement does not
require rotor reconditioning unless other justifications exist. DO NOT
recondition new rotors unless they are being pressed or bolted onto an
existing hub. It is not necessary to replace rotors in axle sets.
However, when replacing or reconditioning a rotor due to the
conditions that follow, you may suggest reconditioning of the other
rotor on the same axle to eliminate uneven braking behavior.
Determine the need to replace based upon the individual rotor
conditions that follow. Reconditioning is defined as machining and
block sanding, or block sanding only. Block sanding is defined as
using 120-150 grit sandpaper with moderate to heavy force for 60
seconds per side. Always wash rotors after servicing or before
installing.
