AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EXCELLENCE

Until the early 1970's, 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.

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

ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service in the United States through the testing and certification of automotive repair technicians.

Consumers should look for facilities that display the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence logo on outdoor signs, in the customer waiting area, in the Yellow Pages, and in other advertisements.
