Having a quality auto repair facility you can count on is always helpful, but especially when the unexpected happens. One of the best ways to find quality auto repair is to look for a technician or other service professional who is ASE Certified. The easiest ways to find one are to look for the ASE sign at the automotive business. Once inside, most establishments proudly display their service professionals’ ASE certificates earned by their staff in their office or waiting room. Finally, ASE Certified professionals often wear the ASE Blue Seal patch on the shoulder of their uniforms and are more than willing to show you their credentials.

To help vehicle owners find highly qualified repair facilities, ASE goes a step further. The Blue Seal of Excellence Recognition Program makes it easy to find businesses with a large percentage of ASE Certified professionals. It’s fast, free, and easy to use.
