TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION

Automotive Service Excellence

Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972.

ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.

At present there are over 420,000 professionals with current certifications. They work in every segment of the automotive service industry: car and truck dealerships, independent garages, fleets, service stations, franchises, and more.

Here's how ASE certification works: Prospective candidates register for and take one or more of ASE's 40-plus exams. The tests are grouped into specialties for automobile, medium/heavy truck, truck equipment, school bus, and collision repair technicians as well as engine machinists, alternate fuels technicians, parts specialists, collision damage estimators and auto service consultants.

Upon passing at least one exam and after providing proof of two years of relevant work experience, the test taker becomes ASE certified. Certification, however, is not for life. To remain certified, those with ASE credentials must be retested every five years.

The tests, which are conducted twice a year at over 700 locations around the country, are administered by ACT, known for its academic and occupational testing programs. The exams stress knowledge of job-related skills. They are no cinch to pass; approximately one out of three test takers fails.

Consumers benefit from ASE certification. It is a valuable yardstick by which to measure the knowledge and skills of individual technicians as well as the commitment to quality of the repair facility employing ASE-certified professionals.

ASE-certified professionals usually wear blue and white ASE insignia and carry credentials listing their exact area(s) of expertise (brakes, engine repair, etc.), while employers often display their technicians' credentials in the customer waiting area.

Consumers should look for facilities that display the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence© logo.

    Excellent service. My first time. I will return.

    Had my 2002 Thunderbird here for a complete A/C replacement. The time it took to complete the job was just one day longer than first scheduled. However, it was not their fault. The replacement parts were defective, because they did not preform to the standards they required. Even so, it was only one day longer than first planned. Joe was very professional and apologized several times for the delay. I highly recommend this X-Pert Automotive store.

    I brought my Miata in for an AC charge. They were prompt and kept me up to date with the service. I decided to have X-Pert do my maintenance instead of going back to the dealer for this service as I have always done.

    Thank you so much to the staff at X-Pert Automotive. My battery died and I was able to jump start it but didn't have a lot of charge to make it to the dealer where I normally have my car serviced. I contacted X-Pert Automotive and they told me they would work me in during appointments. I was able to make it to the shop and waited just over an hour to get the battery replaced. Everyone I spoke with was courteous and professional and I plan to come back now that I've found them!

    This was our first time to X-Pert Automotive. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from everyone that works here. They are all very professional. They kept me posted on what repairs were needed, how long it would take and the cost. And I can now say Goodbye to all the rattling in the back of my car. Plus, their waiting room is clean and comfortable. We will definitely be going back for all our automotive needs.
