What does ASE-Certified Automotive Repair Technician Mean?

How do you know if you are getting the best automotive service possible when you take your vehicle to your favorite auto shop? Most vehicle owners are aware that technicians change oil, repair tires and inspect brakes, but are you aware of the extent of the training and knowledge that technicians must acquire to help you take care of your vehicle?

ASE (the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence) is an independent non-profit organization that works to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals. ASE promotes excellence in vehicle repair, service, and parts distribution. Almost 300,000 Automotive Technicians and Service Professionals hold ASE Certifications.

When you consider the training and skills of an ASE-certified automotive repair technician, you can have confidence in knowing that your vehicle will be well taken care of! Here is a short list of what a certified technician can do:

• Use specialized diagnostic equipment to pinpoint existing or pending problems.
• Recommend and perform preventative vehicle maintenance at the right intervals, including oil changes, tune-ups, transmission flushes, tire rotations, belts, A/C units, and much more.
• Repair or replace worn-out parts, such as brake pads, wheel bearings, air filters, and much more.
• Disassemble, clean, and reassemble major vehicle parts, such as transmissions, radiators, and engines.
• Know how to explain to customers in easy-to-understand terms their vehicle problems, the automotive repair needed, as well as the cost and time required.
• Receive specialized training for electronic systems in today’s modern vehicles.
• Knowledgeable about vehicles that run on alternative fuels, such as ethanol and electricity.
