ASE Blue Seal of Excellence – Why It’s Important

When your car needs service, how do you choose an auto repair shop?

One way to determine if a local shop is qualified to repair your car is the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence.

What is the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence?

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (or ASE) is an independent, non-profit organization that tests and certifies auto repair & service professionals. ASE provides certification for many facets of automotive service. Certification in a given category requires passing an exam and two years relevant work experience. For example, an ASE Maser Technician shall have passed exams in each of eight categories (Engine repair, Automatic Transmission, Manual Transmission and drive trains, Suspension & Steering, Brakes, Electrical Systems, Heating & Air Conditioning, and Engine Performance.) and have two years experience servicing each of those systems. Shops participating in the ASE Blue Seal program must have a technician certified in each area of service offered and at least 75% of the shops employees must be ASE certified.
