Top Reasons to Look for ASE Master Technicians
Nov 7th, 2011 Tom Aldridge
It can be difficult to sift through all of the different mechanics in your area. Each mechanic and automotive repair shop claims to be the best for your needs, offering incredible service and pristine customer relations. You need to understand how to dig through the fluff when working to find the right mechanic for the job.
Looking for an auto shop that has ASE Master Technicians is the perfect way to sift through your options. These mechanics and technicians are known for providing top notch service, making a shop that features these technicians the best shops around. Know the top reasons to look for these ASE Master Technicians to know exactly what you and your vehicle stand to gain from their services.
Knowledge
ASE Master Technicians have gone through intensive studies, and have showed through tests that they are knowledgeable in multiple areas. To be considered a Master Technician, an individual must test and be certified in Engine Repair, Drive Train and Axles (manual), Transmission and Transaxle (automatic), Suspension and Steering, Brakes, Electrical Systems, Heating and Air Conditioning, and Engine Performance.
Be careful to note that those who are "ASE Certified" are not necessarily Master Technicians. Only Master Technicians are certified in all eight of these subsets. Some will test and certify in a few of them, and can call themselves "ASE Certified".
Experience
Simply put, these technicians are experienced. They have to take the time to learn every aspect of the vehicle and pass tests that question their knowledge. All of the time that it takes adds up to experience -- and that's before they actually practice as a technician. This experience helps you to know that they have worked on the issues you have with your car before, and that they know how to fix it quickly and efficiently.
Explanation
It is one thing to be able to fix a vehicle. It is another thing to be able to explain to someone what you are doing and why it is important. These technicians are more likely to be able to explain to you what they are doing to your vehicle and why they must do it in terms that you can easily understand. This simply gives you peace of mind as your vehicle is worked on.
Guarantee/Warranty
In the end, you want to know that your car has been taken care of, and that the shop that you have chosen stands behind their work. Look for a guarantee through a warranty. You will know that you can take your car back in for service if they did not do the job correctly.
Car care is an important service industry, as it helps to keep vehicles on the road for as long as possible. Finding a shop that offers ASE Master Technicians is the only way that you can make sure that you will find the best car care in your area. Talk to different shops around you and ask them about their technicians. The more ASE certified technicians they have, the better off your vehicle will be.About the Author:
