ASC Certified Technician?

Question

what is a "ASC Certified Technician"?, How much do they make? Is that the highest level for them? What is the job placement rate for them?....I just want to know everything I can about this title.

Its ASE not ASC, sorry1

Answer 1

It's ASE. There are different levels of certification. A tech that is ASE certified is certified only in the fields of the tests that he has passed. For example, I am a Master ASE and General Motors Tech. I'm Certified in Engine overhaul, Drive train, Transmissions, Electronics, Brakes, Air Cond., cooling systems, Alignments, etc. In other words I'm certified in everything.
As to what you make depends on where you work. A master tech at a dealership can make an excess of 80,000 per year.
If you plan on going into the business, I would strongly suggest that you go to a good technical school and get certified in as much as you can. Hope this helps.

ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence.
it is an organization that administers and tracks VOLUNTARY testing among mechanics and technicians.
There are various classifications (Automotive, Truck, Body, Parts, Under car, Alternative fuels) and in each there are various testing foci.
Automotive is covered by A-1 through A-8 & L-1 (Engine, suspension, brake, HVAC, Transmission, Engiene performance, Electrical etc)
Trucks cover the same areas.
Body covers general and special areas of body repair and paint.
Parts covers the obvious.
This testing is voluntary, but is acceptable qualification ON PAPER for some employers and is satisfactory for some state requirements for licensing.
The tests are proctored twice a year, and each qualification must be re-tested every 5 years.
The point of the test is to allow the tech to demonstrate ON PAPER his mastery and fundamental knowledge of a given area of automotive theory and real-world practices.
The tests are a great resume of sorts for pre-employment, but they only satisfy a pre-screening, as the tech must then go on and demonstrate that he can do the job in such a manner that customer satisfaction is certain and the shop can make money.
There are many shops that pay the techs more money to complete the testing, and others that really don't care.
There are shops that pay bonuses for each completed test, and some that will pay the testing fees for the tech if he passes the test.
It is very good for the industry and the customer as well as it pretty much demands that the techs keep up on what is going on in the automotive world, rather than just learning on the job at the customer's expence.

you have in all probability have been given a worn bushing on the rear suspension. in case you will jack the motor vehicle up (use jack stands, please!) and rattle and wiggle the suspension, you will in all probability discover the offending area extremely rapidly.
