  15. VHC Kits Follow MAP Guidelines What is MAP? The MAP (Motorist Assurance Program) sets THE STANDARDS for the auto repair industry by developing a series of Uniform Inspection and Communication Standards “UICS” These guidelines give consumers the information they need to make an educated decision on repairs for their vehicle. The customer and shop technician together use the guidelines to agree on the work the shop will do on his or her vehicle, thus eliminating confusion or mistrust. • UniformityRepair shops who participate in the Motorist Assurance Program display a MAP decal. They agree to adhere to the MAP Pledge of Assurance to Customers, and the Standards of Service. Consumers benefit from a Better understanding of the vehicle's problem(s) and what repairs are "Required" v. "Suggested"; A minimum warranty of 90 days or 4,000 miles; and Uniformity of recommendations from one shop to another when the customer seeks a second opinion from another participating facility. • MAP's Service Requirements and Suggestions • 1. MAP policy is that before any service is preformed, an inspection of the system must be performed and • the condition of the COMPONENT, CODES and PROCEDURES are determined according to MAP Uniform • Communication & Inspection Standards. • 2. Inspection Results must be documented on an inspection form and explained to the customer. The • inspection may indicate that service or parts replacement are "Required or "Suggested. • 3. A customer may decide not to follow some of your recommendations. However, when a repair is "Required" a • MAP Participating Shop must refuse partial service on that system if you believe proceeding with the • work could create or continue an unsafe condition.

  16. “Be Car Care Aware” Statistics Why EVERY vehicle should be inspected! In April and October of 2011 hundreds of BE CAR CARE AWARE events were held across the United States to promote the benefits of regular vehicle maintenance and repair. Thousands of vehicles were inspected free of charge for consumers. In almost 9 out of 10 cars inspected, one or more repairs was needed. In 2011, 84% of the vehicles inspected FAILED Exterior Check Failure Rates 14% - Wiper Blades 3% - Headlights 3% - Turn Signals 3% - Dash Lights 16% - License Plate Lighting 10% - Brake Lights Lubricants and Fluid Failure Rates 28% - Engine Oil 18% - Transmission Fluid 24% - Radiator Coolant 15% - Brake Fluid 18% - Power Steering Fluid 23% - Washer Fluid

  20. Consumer Talking Points How to talk to Customers - Pre Test Hello Mr. Smith… Here is a copy of the inspection we will be doing on your car today. We do it for all (new/existing) customers free of charge, just like you see your doctor for a check up, this is the same for your car. Thanks for bringing in your car for us to inspect… The check up covers 40 items on your vehicle that are most likely to fail. It is our way of giving you peace of mind. Over 80% of the cars we inspect need one or more of the services in that kit. We don’t want our customers to get stranded. Our job with the help of this kit is to maintain your car and keep you running down the road. Our customers, like you, LOVE this kit because it is very visual and easy to understand AND because it gives them peace of mind that everything in the car is in good shape. Ultimately, your safety is our top concern and this inspection gives us both peace of mind.

  21. Consumer Talking Points How to talk to Customers - After Test Mr Smith, 1) We finished our complimentary 40 point check on your vehicle and there are three areas of concern. I have worked up pricing on the three items and put together a discount for you, whether you get them done today OR another time. 2) Here is the completed inspection we did today. There is only one item that needs work. (YOUR MANUFACTURER) recommends changing transmission fluid at 60,000 miles…. You have 80,000 and your fluid is in the RED ZONE…. Let me show you what I mean… The regular price is $129 since we have your car in the shop, we can cut the price to $99. 3) The inspection showed two areas in THE YELLOW ZONE, you have a belt that is starting to go and you have a reverse light out. Let me show you what I mean…. The cost to fix these items is $89 for the serpentine belt and $10 for the reverse light, do you want to get these done today? 4) Your inspection is done and 100% of the 40 items we checked are IN THE GREEN. You are doing a great job taking care of your vehicle. Less than 2 of 10 vehicles out there pass all checks…. Good Job.
