What is ASE, and what does ASE stand for?  

ASE stands for “National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.”  ASE promotes auto service and repair excellence through testing and certification.   


Why is that important?

ASE is short for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Since 1972 our independent non-profit organization has worked to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals. ASE promotes excellence in automotive repair and service. Over 300,000 Automotive Technicians and Service Professionals, including Eli's Service Station, hold ASE Certifications. ASE Certified Technicians work in every part of the automotive service industry. ASE certifications are based on the technician's ability and knowledge of automotive repair - diagnostics. This allows customers to gauge a technician's level of expertise better and provides tangible proof of their technical knowledge. ASE Certification testing means peace of mind for auto service managers and customers.


How Does ASE Certification Work?

In addition to passing an ASE Certification test, automotive technicians must have two years of on-the-job training, one year of on-the-job training, and a two-year degree in automotive repair to qualify for certification.  The exams are not easily segmented by sub-specialty, such as automobile, medium/heavy truck, truck equipment, school bus, collision repair, etc. Only two out of every three test-takers pass on their first attempt. To remain ASE certified, professionals must be retested every five years to keep up with ever-advancing automotive technology.
