WHAT IS ASE?

ASE, or National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, was founded in 1972 as an independent, non-profit dedicated to upping the ante of automotive services across the nation. At that time, it was extremely hard for customers to find a competent automotive technician. Thus, their mission is to certify both individuals and shops in order to reassure customers that the automotive shop they are choosing has been verified to offer reliable automotive repairs and services.

HOW DO YOU BECOME ASE-CERTIFIED?

ASE certification requirements can be extensive, and there are different automotive and truck class certifications that can be earned. There are also collision repairs and refinishing certifications, parts specialists, school bus and transit bus certifications, and truck equipment certifications. In addition, there are different levels one can earn, such as a Master Automotive technician.

For those wishing to earn ASE certification, you have to pass a test, and technicians have to have at least two years of on the job training or one year of job training and a two-year degree in automotive repair. The tests are rigorous, with only about 66% of those who take it passing. An automotive technician has to re-test every five years in order to retain their certification. This is mainly due to the fact that automotive technology changes so much that ASE wants to ensure that their technicians are up-to-speed on these changes. After all, people rely on this certification when choosing an automotive technician.

As mentioned above, there are many specialties you can become certified in, such as engine repair, brakes, electrical systems, engine performance, and medium/heavy duty trucks as well. Master certification involves being certified in all of these special areas for your field. Master technicians are considered experts in the automotive repair and service areas.

ASE TODAY

Today, there are almost 300,000 automotive technicians and service professionals that hold ASE certifications of one sort or another. As you can see from above, these professionals work in all areas of the automotive industry and not just auto repair shops. Customers can have peace of mind when choosing an ASE-certified automotive technician that they will have their automotive needs taken care of.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

While there are a lot of ASE-certified technicians, there are not as many certified for medium/heavy trucks. This means that you may have to spend a bit of time finding one in your area, and if you are traveling and break down, this could be a while. When you partner with National Truck Emergency Road Service, we have done the searching for you, and when you call us, we only use ASE-certified technicians for your truck or fleet repair. We want to ensure you are taken care of to the highest standards, and ASE certification prepares automotive technicians to meet those standards.

ASE does an excellent job of ensuring those they certify are the best of the best, which is why we have chosen to partner with these technicians. It also shows a level of commitment and professionalism for those who choose to become ASE-certified.
