         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
