Sheila’s Answer

Hello Luis:

I appreciate your question. I'd like to provide you with the following info that I hope you find helpful.

Certification from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is the standard credential for service technicians. Certification demonstrates competence and usually brings higher pay. Many employers require their service technicians to become certified.

ASE Certification is available in nine different automobile specialty areas: automatic transmission/transaxle, brakes, light vehicle diesel engines, electrical/electronic systems, engine performance, engine repair, heating and air-conditioning, manual drive train and axles, and suspension and steering.

To become certified, technicians must have at least 2 years of experience (or relevant schooling and 1 year of experience) and pass an exam. Technicians who achieve certification in all of the foregoing areas (light vehicle diesel engine certification is not required) may earn ASE Master Technician status.

Robert’s Answer

The Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) line of certifications are the industry standard for determining the skill of auto mechanics. Receiving a certification requires that you pay for and take a computer-based exam at a monitored testing location.

The ASE is divided into vehicle types (cars, trucks, buses) and secondary systems. These tests cover the broadest range of comprehensive automobile care for a modern technician. For each vehicle type, there are eight core certifications that satisfy the minimum knowledge for maintenance and repair. We’ll look at A1-A8 for basic automotive service, the place where most technicians will begin.
A1 Engine Repair
A2 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle
A3 Manual Drive Train and Axles
A4 Suspension and Steering
A5 Brakes
A6 Electrical/Electronic Systems
A7 Heating and Air Conditioning
A8 Engine Performance
