Finding a Good Auto Repair Technician. At A&A Japanese We Have You Covered.

facilities. Before taking ASE certification tests, many technicians attend training classes or study on their own to brush up on technical information. By passing difficult, national tests, ASE-certified technicians prove their technical competence to themselves, to their employers and to their customers.

What's more, because the ASE program is primarily voluntary, ASE-certification becomes a self-selecting credential that weeds out those who may be incompetent. And while ASE does not certify auto repair shops or police individual business practices, it stands to reason that those auto repair owners and managers who support their service employees' efforts to become technically certified will be concerned about other aspects of their business as well.

HOW CERTIFICATION WORKS
About 100,000 technicians take ASE tests each May and November at more than 700 locations. Auto repair technicians who pass at least one exam and fulfill the two-year work experience requirement become ASE-certified. Those who pass a battery of exams and fulfill the experience requirement earn Master Technician status.

The tests, developed by auto repair industry experts with oversight from ASE's in-house pros, are administered by ACT, the same group known for its college entrance exams. There are specialty exams covering all major areas of auto repair. There are eight tests for auto technicians alone: engine repair, engine performance, electrical/electronic systems, brakes, heating and air conditioning, suspension and steering, manual drive train and axles, and automatic transmissions.

(There are also exams for collision auto repair technicians, damage estimators, parts specialists and others.)

ASE certification is not for life. ASE requires technicians to re-test every five years to keep up with technology and to remain certified. All ASE credentials have expiration dates.

FINDING ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS
Auto repair establishments with at least one ASE technician are permitted to display the ASE sign. Each ASE professional is issued personalized credentials listing his or her exact area(s) of certification and appropriate shoulder insignia. Technicians also are issued certificates that employers often post in the customer-service area. And employers often display the blue and white ASE sign as well.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECHNICIAN
As with other professionals, such as physicians, auto repair technicians often specialize. So it's wise to ask the auto repair shop owner or service manager for a technician who is certified in the appropriate area, for example, brakes, engine auto repair or air conditioning.

(ARA) - Finding a competent auto repair technician need not be a matter of chance. Much of the guesswork has been eliminated, thanks to the national program conducted by the non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

ASE tests and certifies automotive professionals in all major technical areas of auto repair and auto service. With more than 430,000 currently certified professionals, the ASE program has industry-wide acceptance and recognition. ASE-certified technicians and parts specialists can be found across the nation at every type of auto repair facility, from dealerships, service stations and franchises to parts stores, independent garages and even municipal fleets.

CERTIFICATION BENEFITS MOTORISTS
ASE certifies the technical competence of individual technicians, not auto repair

Auto Repair Scams Can Cost a Fortune. You Can Trust A&A Foreign Auto Repair

A lot of people like owning and driving cars, but no one likes to repair them or pay to have them repaired. But cars are like anything else; if you use them, they eventually need attention. Today's vehicles are far more complicated than the cars of a generation ago, so fewer and fewer consumers are able to do their own auto repairs. That means taking it to a professional mechanic when something goes wrong, and choosing a bad one can cost you a fortune.

While the majority of auto repair mechanics are honest people, there are more than a few that have been known to take advantage of consumers by engaging in a number of unethical practices. Here at A&A Japanese we stand by our honesty. WE DON'T:
--Pad the price with unnecessary auto repair.
--Pad the price with work not actually done.
--Charge for new parts when using used ones or charging for factory parts when using third-party parts.
--Provide higher estimates to female customers than we do men.

YOU MIGHT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
--Ask your family or friends for recommendations. People often take their cars to the same shop for years, so a recommendation from a longtime customer would be helpful.
--Check with the local Better Business Bureau to see if the shop in question has a history of consumer complaints.
--Check to see if the auto repair mechanics are certified. Certifications indicate technicians who have passed comprehensive exams and are probably sufficiently competent to handle the job.
--Check out the shop in person. Look around. Is it clean? Organized? Does it have a professional look? If the shop is run by professionals, it should look as though it is run by professionals.

If you drive a lot, and most people do, it is vitally important that your car be kept in the best possible condition. That means finding a reputable place to have it repaired when something goes wrong like a brake repair or transmission repair. The last thing you want when your car breaks is to take it to someone who will do a poor job or charge you too much money. Taking your time in finding a reputable mechanic is a good start.

Take the Scare Out of Auto Repair

How to choose an auto repair shop. What you should look for when choosing an auto repair shop
1. Ask for a recommendation from friends, family, and anyone else you really trust. Look for an auto repair shop before you need one so you are not rushed at the last minute to find one.

Use the telephone, shop around by phone to compare prices and Warranty policies on the repair to find your best deal.
Ask to see their current licenses if local and/or state law requires shops to be licensed or registered. Also your state Attorney General's office or local consumer protection agency, BBB and Chamber of Commerce may know wheter there are a record of complaints against a particular shop. If you have an Extended Warranty Contract and intend to use it present it to the shop to make sure it will be honored before any work is started. MORE NEXT PAGE.
