What are the benefits of using an A.S.E. Certified mechanic?

 


Twice a year, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence offers auto service industry professionals the chance to earn their A.S.E.-Certified badge. By having two years of repair work experience and passing a written test, auto mechanics earn the pride and excitement of A.S.E. Certification, placing them among the top mechanics in the auto industry. 

As a customer, inquiring about A.S.E. credentials is critical for you car's maintenance as the certification ensures the competence of the mechanic you're trusting to work on your car.  The A.S.E. certification program was designed to help consumers find a trustworthy shop (just like our website MechanicAdvisor) by setting a benchmark for knowledge and aptitude. Certifications like this are becoming increasingly important in the automotive repair industry due to the increasing complexity of modern day cars.  

How can you find out if a shop is A.S.E. Certified? Just look for the logo above or ask. Most shops and mechanics are proud to have their ASE badge of honor!
