What Does ASE Certified Mean?

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence tests automotive technicians on a wide range of specialized categories to ensure they meet the highest standards of knowledge and ability to work on every aspect of your vehicle. Those that pass the tests are awarded ASE Certifications at various levels. The more ASE Certifications a technician has, the more areas of expertise he/she has.

To become an ASE Master Technician, a series of eight ASE tests dealing with engine repair, automatic transmissions, manual drive trains, suspension and steering systems, brakes, electrical systems, heating, and air conditioning must be passed.

Becoming an ASE World Class Technician requires passing 22 ASE tests in a wide series of specialty areas.

All ASE certifications must be renewed at regular intervals to ensure the technicians are knowledgeable about the most current vehicle specifications and up-to-date mechanical methods.

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
