Automotive Service Excellence

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established as an independent, non profit organization, whose mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.

ASE Certification for technicians is obtained by prospective candidates taking one or more of the 40-plus exams that ASE provides in the many fields and specialties of the automotive world.  Once they have passed the exam they must provide proof of over two years experience in that field to receive certification.  To remain certified, those with ASE credentials must be retested every five years.
