ASE Certified Technicians
What is An ASE-Certified Mechanic?
When you stop by your Family Tire Pros in American Fork, you may see a logo on a window or the service desk that reads “ASE Certified.” That symbol means at least one of the automotive technicians has been certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
ASE tests and endorses automotive professionals in all major technical areas of repair and service. Each year, about 100,000 technicians take the voluntary certification exam. Those who pass at least one of the exams and satisfy the work experience requirements become ASE certified.
Master Technician
Specialty exams cover all major areas of automotive repair:
- Engine repair
- Engine performance
- Electrical/electronic systems
- Brakes
- Heating & air conditioning
- Suspension & steering
- Manual drive train & axles
- Automatic transmissions
Technicians tend to specialize in certain areas and can become certified in those areas. If you’re looking for help with the transmission or heating and air conditioning, ask your Family Tire Pros shop if they have a technician certified in that part of the car.
In addition, ASE also offers additional exams in other areas of automotive repair:
- Collision repair/paint technicians
- Damage estimators
- Parts specialists
