Wondering what does an Automotive Service Technician do?

Have you ever wondered what does an automotive service technician do that qualifies them to take good care of your car?  Most car owners know that auto technicians change oil, repair tires and check brakes, but are you aware of the extent of the training and knowledge that they must acquire to work on vehicles?  How do you know you are getting the best automotive service possible when you take your vehicle to your favorite auto shop?  

ASE is an independent non-profit organization that works to recover the quality of car repair and service by testing and certifying automotive specialists.  They promote excellence in vehicle repair, service, and parts distribution.  Inspect with your auto shop about the ASE-certified automotive service technicians they employ and inspect the walls for ASE-Certificates.

When you consider the training and skills of a certified technician, you can have confidence in knowing that your vehicle will be well taken care of!  Here is a short list of what a certified technician can do:  

• Use specialized diagnostic equipment to pinpoint existing or pending issues.
• Recommend and perform preventative vehicle maintenance at the right intervals, including oil changes, tune-ups, transmission flushes, tire rotations, A/C units, and much more.
• Repair worn-out parts, such as brake pads, wheel bearings, air filters, and much more.
• Disassemble, clean, and reassemble major vehicle parts, such as transmissions, radiators, and engines.
• Know how to explain to customers their vehicle issues in easy-to-understand terms, the automotive repair needed, as well as the cost and time required.
• Receive specialized training for today’s electronic systems.
• Knowledgeable about vehicles that run on alternative fuels, such as ethanol and electricity.
