Strengthening the relationship between the motorist and the automotive service
and repair industry through education of the motorist and service provider,
and through the creation of industry standards.

MAP Standards of Service

Our recommendations are based upon the following definitions.

System Failure - Parts/system indicated are out of manufacturers' specifications, have failed, or are unable to perform their normal function as intended or designed by the manufacturer. Service/replacement is required now.

Preventive/Schedule Maintenance
- Parts/system are scheduled for service/replacement per vehicle manufacturer's recommendations or are near the end of their useful life and repair or replacement is recommended in advance of failure. Service/replacement is suggested.

Improved System Performance
- Parts/system indicated are recommended for repair or replacement to enhance or improve the vehicle's ability to perform as intended or designed by the manufacturer, or as requested by the customer. Service/replacement is suggested.

Training/Criteria
Our personnel have acquired auto repair expertise through formal education or work experience. Where appropriate, personnel are moving toward certification (e.g., vehicle mfgs., ASE, etc.) for the services performed. Continuing education is supported by all MAP participants.


Appropriate Company Approved Inspection
We will perform an appropriate inspection based on MAP Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards.


Written Estimates

Written estimates based on our inspection, in compliance with state and local regulations, will include parts (dollar amount), labor (dollar amount), and the total estimate.


Work Authorization

No work will be performed without the customer's prior approval.


Limited Warranty

A minimum limited warranty will be offered of 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever comes first, covering parts and labor.


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.


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.
