Similar to being a doctor or being a teacher, being a mechanic is also a serious profession that requires skill and specialty. And while other professions have board examinations, there’s an ASE certification offered for mechanics. This certification is one proof of a mechanic’s competence and experience in the particular field in which he specializes.
There are different fields in automotive in which a mechanic may want to specialize. Tests are offered focusing on several systems such as the brakes and suspension, and a mechanic may want to take a test on any or all of the systems. Other than passing the test given, at least two years of experience is also needed if a mechanic wishes to be a Master Technician.
Many shops today require ASE certification when employing a mechanic, although there are still others that don’t. The good thing about having an ASE-certified mechanic work on your car is the fact that you know your car is in competent hands, one who knows what he is doing and one whom you can trust to do the job well. Plus, you can be sure that an ASE-certified mechanic is serious about his career and would not do something that will jeopardize it.
If you are looking for a shop with personnel who are good at what they do, you may want to look for an ASE seal in the shop. This would mean that the shop has mechanics who have ASE certification. Take note, though, that it doesn’t mean all mechanics in the shop are ASE-certified, only that there are some. If you want your car to be handled by a mechanic who has the certification, you may want to ask for that. ASE-certified mechanics also have different specialties. So, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a technician with ASE certification is good for all your needed automotive repairs.
