The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) said more than 8,400 automotive service professionals participated in its gasoline engine survey. ASE has been commissioned to conduct a series of studies to identify and understand which repair tasks automotive service technicians perform most frequently.
The initial survey focused on gasoline engine repair tasks and showed that 57% of those who completed the survey are currently A1 certified or were in the past, and 76% hold one or more ASE A2-A8 automotive certifications. A majority of those respondents hold each of those respective certifications.
Regarding training, technicians receive training from a variety of sources including on the job (79%), OEM training (69%), college (57%), high school (53%) and aftermarket (47%). Among those who completed the survey, 82% said they have 10 or more years of experience and 57 percent said ASE certifications factored into their pay plans.
As a thank you to those who participated in the survey, five automotive service professionals were randomly selected to be awarded Snap-on gift cards. The winners are Andrew Cronin Sr., David Kaplanis, Jeramy Peterson, David Phillips and Calen Sober-Throop.
