Why ASE Certified Technicians Matter: The Key to Reliable Auto Repair in Santa Fe

Posted on Jun 26, 2025

When it comes to choosing an auto repair shop in Santa Fe, there’s one credential that defines trust: ASE Certification. At Master Tech, we are proud to hire ASE-certified Master Technicians. Experts who have spent years honing their knowledge and skills through ongoing training.

What is ASE Certification?

ASE stands for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, an independent organization that has been certifying and standardizing automotive care since 1972. To become ASE Certified, a technician must pass comprehensive exams covering any area of automotive repair you can think of, as well as having at least two years of hands-on work experience. For those who reach "Master Technician" status, the requirements are even more demanding.

If your mechanic is ASE Certified, you know that they are up to date! ASE Certified Technicians must retake their certification exam every five years to ensure they stay current with the latest vehicle technology and diagnostic systems.

Why Certification Matters for Santa Fe Drivers

Vehicle technology is constantly evolving, with sophisticated electronics, hybrid systems, and advanced safety features. This also means that trusting your car to someone without the right training can lead to trouble. Misdiagnosis, improper repairs, and not-quite-right fixes can lead to more costly repairs in the long run.

At Master Tech, our ASE Certified Master Technicians pair their years of experience with regular testing so that you can count on precision in every service, from routine oil changes to brake repairs to diagnostics. For Santa Fe drivers, this means peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in capable, qualified hands.

Whether it's adjusting cooling systems for hot summer drives or checking tire pressure for high elevation, we keep Santa Fe vehicles running smoothly year-round.
