What is ASE certification?

ASE, or the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals. Established in 1972, ASE makes sure that auto techs have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform high-quality repairs and maintenance on vehicles of all types.

How to Obtain ASE Certification

To become ASE certified, mechanics must pass a series of rigorous exams that test their knowledge and skills in various areas of automotive repair and maintenance. The process includes three main things. First, technicians need at least two years of hands-on work experience in the field or a combination of education and experience. Next, techs must pass ASE exams to earn certification in specific areas. ASE offers more than 50 different certification tests, covering a wide range of topics from engine repair to electronic systems. Lastly, mechanics must retake and pass the exams to maintain their certification. To ensure that technicians stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in automotive technology, ASE certification is only valid for five years.

The Importance of ASE Certification

BASE certification is a mark of excellence in the automotive industry. ASE-certified technicians have proven their expertise, ensuring high-quality repairs and maintenance for your vehicle.
