         INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
          OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
         The Motorist Assurance Program 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.
         Our organization's 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 greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt:\
         1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and
         2) the Motorist Assurance Program Standards of Service.
         All participating service providers have agreed to subscribe
to this Pledge and to adhere to the promulgated Standards of Service
demonstrating 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 and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings 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
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
         To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not 
Page 186 of 1501

satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an 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.
         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 site www.

         MAP UNIFORM INSPECTION GENERAL GUIDELINES
          OVERVIEW OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
         It is MAP policy that all exhaust, brake, steering,
suspension, wheel alignment, drive-line, engine performance and
maintenance, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
electrical services be offered and performed under the standards 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
requests expressed by the customer.
         When a component is suggested or required to be repaired or
replaced, the decision to repair or replace must be made in the
customer's best interest, and at his or her choice given the options
available.
         This section lists the various parts and conditions that
indicate a required or suggested service or part replacement.
Although this list is extensive, it is not fully inclusive. In
addition to this list, a technician may make a suggestion.  However,
any suggestions must be based on substantial and informed experience,
or the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval and must be
documented.
         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.
         Example:
         A brake rotor has been worn to the point where it measures
         less than the vehicle manufacturer's discard specifications. 
Page 187 of 1501

         Replacement of the rotor is required because it does not meet
         design specifications.
         Some conditions indicate that a service or part replacement
is suggested because the part is close to the end of its useful life
or addresses a customer's need, convenience or request. If a
customer's vehicle has one of these conditions, the procedure may be
only to suggest service.
         Example:
         An exhaust pipe is rusted, corroded or weak, but no leaks are
         present. In this case, the exhaust pipe has not failed.
         However, there is evidence that the pipe may need replacement
         in the near future.  Replacement of the pipe may be suggested
         for the customer's convenience in avoiding a future problem.
         Example:
         The customer desires improved ride and/or handling, but the
         vehicle's shocks or struts have not failed. In this case,
         replacement may be suggested to satisfy the customer's
         wishes. In this case, replacement of the shocks or struts may
         not be sold as a requirement.
         A customer, of course, has the choice of whether or not a
shop will service his or her vehicle.  He or she may decide not to
follow some of your suggestions.  When a repair is required, a MAP
shop must refuse partial service on that system if, in the judgment of
the service provider, proceeding with the work could create or
continue an unsafe condition.  When a procedure states that required
or suggested repair or replacement is recommended, the customer must
be informed of the generally acceptable repair/replacement options
whether or not performed by the shop.
         When presenting suggested repairs to the customer, you must
present the facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions
and make an informed decision about how to proceed.
         The following reasons may be used for required and suggested
services. These codes are shown in the "Code" column of the MAP
Uniform Inspection & Communications Standards that follow:
         Reasons to Require Repair or Replacement
         A - Part no longer performs intended purpose
         B - Part does not meet a design specification (regardless of
             performance)
         C - Part is missing
NOTE:    When a repair is required, the shop must refuse partial
         service to  the system in question, if the repair creates
         or continues an unsafe condition.
          Reasons to Suggest Repair or Replacement
         1 - Part is close to the end of its useful life (just above
             discard specifications, or weak; failure likely to occur
             soon, etc.)
         2 - To address a customer need, convenience, or request (to
             stiffen ride, enhance performance, eliminate noise, etc.)
         3 - To comply with maintenance recommended by the vehicle's
             Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
         4 - Technician's recommendation based on substantial and
             informed experience
NOTE:    Suggested services are always optional. When presenting
         suggested repairs to the customer, you must present the
         facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions 
Page 188 of 1501

         and make an informed decision about how to proceed.

         ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS
NOTE:    Anti-lock brakes are an integral part of the brake system. It
         is essential that the anti-lock brakes function properly when
         brake service is performed.
         Anti-lock brake systems are commonly referred to as "ABS" and
will be referred to as "ABS" throughout these guidelines. Some ABS
components also function as part of a traction control system (TCS).
WARNING:  When diagnosing and servicing high pressure components,
         observe safety procedures and equipment requirements
         established by the vehicle manufacturer to reduce the
         possibility of serious personal injury.
NOTE:    Intermittent electrical conditions are often caused by a loss
         of ground, poor connection, or water intrusion into the
         wiring harness. 
Page 189 of 1501

NOTE:    Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) may be caused by
         incorrect installation of accessories or components. EMI can
         result in improper system operation.
