With the summer driving season under way, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, or ASE, has designated June as Automotive Service Professionals Month to honor the vehicle service professionals from coast to coast who keep vehicles running smoothly and motorists on the road.
Automotive service professionals play a critical role in communities nationwide, working in general repair shops, dealerships and service stations. They help ensure that vehicles remain safe and reliable for everyday use. With modern vehicles becoming increasingly complex and equipped with cutting-edge technology, today’s technicians must continually expand their knowledge and skills to keep pace with the latest advancements in automotive systems.
ASE helps car owners identify technicians who meet high standards of skill and expertise. Those who earn ASE Certification and display the Blue Seal of Excellence have demonstrated both hands-on experience and success taking rigorous exams. To maintain their credentials, ASE-certified professionals must renew their certifications every five years, taking challenging exams to ensure they stay current with changing technologies and industry best practices.
"Automotive Service Professionals Month offers an opportunity to highlight the expertise and dedication of technicians and other vehicle service specialists," said ASE President and CEO Dave Johnson said. "ASE encourages everyone to take this opportunity to recognize and thank these skilled individuals for the vital services they provide each and every day.”
