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.
* Example: A brake rotor has been worn to the point where it
measures less than the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
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 to address a customer's need, convenience or request. If a
customer's vehicle has one of these conditions, the procedure may only
be 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

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

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment is defined as the measurement, analysis, and
adjustment of steering and suspension angles to conform to OEM
specifications. These angles usually include, but are not limited to:
caster, camber, toe, and thrust angle. Where these angles are not
adjustable and not in specification, component replacement or
correction kits may be required. Errors in set-back and steering axis
inclination (SAI) are often attributable to failed or damaged
components and must be corrected prior to performing an alignment.

service may prevent a proper alignment.
Before performing an alignment check, inspect and verify the
following:
* Tire pressure and size
* Vehicle loading
* Ride height
* Steering and suspension parts
Only if the inspection reveals that all the above are within
published specifications, should a wheel alignment check and an
alignment, if needed, be performed.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a technician bend or heat any
steering or suspension component, unless specified by the
vehicle manufacturer, for example, Ford forged twin "I" beam
axles. All measurements and suggestions must be noted on the
inspection report.
