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 National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972. Although the certification of professional technicians remains ASE's primary mission, today the organization encompasses much more.  ASE is an independent, nonprofit organization that works in many ways to help educate consumers, the media and others to promote informed decision making when seeking automotive repairs. At present there are more than 435,000 professionals with current certifications. They work in every segment of the automotive service industry: car and truck dealerships, independent garages, fleets, service stations, franchises, and more.
