additional cost.

         STANDARDS OF SERVICE

         I. Our recommendations are based upon the following
definitions.

         A. 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 manufacturers.
Service/replacement is needed now.

         B. Preventive/Schedule Maintenance - Parts/system are
scheduled for service/replacement per industry standards or are near
the end of their useful life and repair/replacement is recommended in
advance of parts/system failure. Service/replacement is optional.

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

* ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNIFORM INSPECTION GUIDELINES *

         V. Work Authorization - No work will be performed without the
customer's prior approval.

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

         VII. 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.

         VIII. 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.

         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.

* ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNIFORM INSPECTION GUIDELINES *

         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
         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. The following reasons may be used for
required and suggested services:

         Reasons to Require Repair or Replacement:

      *  component no longer performs intended purpose
      *  component does not meet a design specification (regardless of
         performance)
      *  component is missing.

         Reasons to Suggest Repair or Replacement

      *  component is close to the end of its useful life (just above
         discard specifications or weak; failure likely to occur soon,
         etc.)
      *  address a customer need, convenience or request (stiffen
         ride, enhance performance, eliminate noise, etc.)
      *  comply with maintenance recommended by the vehicle's Original
         Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
      *  technician's recommendation based on substantial and informed
         experience.

         BATTERY PREFACE COVER PAGE

         Proper operation of any electrical system component can be
affected by  battery condition. The battery(ies) must meet or exceed
minimum specification for vehicle as equipped and test to that
specific battery's CCA. Before condemning any component, test vehicle
following OEM test and diagnostic procedures.
         A battery should meet or exceed the intended vehicle's OEM
(Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications with regard to Cold
Cranking Amps for that specific vehicle. A battery should be tested
using the test procedures outlined by Battery Council International
(BCI) - an association of battery industry companies whose members
establish policy and standards for the industry and/or the
manufacturer of the battery,

         BATTERY LOAD TESTING

      *  Battery Load Testing requirements should be tested at vehicle
         OEM specifications or battery CCA specifications for pass/
         fail criteria using the highest rating.

      *  Battery Load Testing and OEM specifications are based on
         testing at the CCA level only. When a battery is rated at any
         other given temperature (32
