The ASE Blue Seal of Excellence is a prestigious national recognition awarded to automotive repair, parts, and service facilities that demonstrate an elite, company-wide commitment to professional certification and service quality.
Key Requirements for Public Businesses and Non-Public Fleet Maintenance Facilities
To earn and maintain ASE Blue Seal recognition, an establishment must meet strict staffing criteria:
- 75% Staff Certification: At least 75 percent of the facility’s personnel performing diagnosis, repairs or service must be ASE Certified
- Comprehensive Coverage: Every individual area of service or support offered by the business must have at least one dedicated ASE-certified professional covering that specific discipline
- Annual Renewal: Facilities are re-evaluated yearly to ensure credentials remain active, backed by an initial application and annual renewal fee.
What Individual ASE Certification Entails
While the Blue Seal applies to the entire business, it relies on individual staff credentials administered by the non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE):
- Experience & Testing: Technicians must pass rigorous, industry-developed exams and prove at least two years of relevant hands-on work experience (or one year plus a two-year degree).
- Mandatory Recertification: Individual certifications expire every five years, requiring technicians to retest to stay current with advancing vehicle technology
