Information for Consumers
 

Motorist Assurance Program of Canada (MAPC) accreditation is a strong message to consumers:

MAPC is a national, non-profit organization that helps consumers and automotive maintenance and repair facilities communicate better to prevent problems and dissatisfaction.

A shop that has been accredited by MAPC applied for accreditation because you, the consumer, are important to them. They maintain their MAPC accreditation to give consumers the extra comfort of knowing they really mean it.

Receiving MAPC accreditation is no cake-walk. But it’s the best way of showing you that they are serious about integrity, honesty, and good business practices.

What MAPC Accreditation Means to You
The Motorist Assurance Program of Canada (MAPC) accreditation application and screening process is thorough.

Control: As the customer, you have control over what work is done on your car.

Honesty: The shop is up front about the repairs your car needs, and they communicate as fully and honestly as possible. Nothing is hidden. They abide by MAPC’s Standards of Service and Pledge of Assurance to Customers. And they’re willing to put it in writing.

Thoroughness: The repair facility uses MAPC’s Uniform Inspection and Communication Standards so you – and every customer – can see what automotive experts determined to be most appropriate for your safety and for your vehicle’s reliability.

Quality & Customer Satisfaction: The shop strives to leave you – and every customer – fully satisfied. However, if you are dissatisfied with the way they adhere to the MAPC standards, dispute resolution services will be provided at no cost to you. And – a 90 day/6500 kilometre minimum limited warranty is included.

What You Can Expect
Shop technicians use MAPC’s standards to determine what’s best to keep your car safe and reliable. They use the MAPC Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards to indicate whether repair or replacement is “Required” or “Suggested”. Look for written recommendations when you are making decisions about repairing your car. And remember: you are in charge!

“MAPC-accredited shops care about your vehicle …
and they want you back again!”
