estimate.
V. Work Authorization - No work will be performed without the
customer's prior approval.
VI. Limited Warranty - A minimum limited warranty will be
offered of 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first, covering
parts and labor.
VII. Returned Parts - All customers will be entitled to the
return of old parts, or if they choose, they may examine the parts
prior to leaving the store. Where failed parts are required to be
returned to the manufacturer in order to honor the warranty, the
customer will be allowed to examine the parts.
VIII. Classification of Parts - Replaced parts will be
identified as new, remanufactured, rebuilt or used. MAP participants
will inform the customer and indicate on the estimate and invoice
whether a part is new, remanufactured, rebuilt or used.
MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
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.
Some conditions indicate that service or part replacement
is required because the part in question is no longer providing
the function for which it is intended, does not meet a vehicle
manufacturer's design specification or is missing.
* Example: An exhaust pipe has corroded severely and has a hole
in it through which exhaust gases are leaking. Replacement of
the exhaust pipe in this case is required due to functional
failure.

to their customers.
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
