Prestige: Becoming an ASE Master Technician brings prestige to your resume. Both customers and employers desire technicians with ASE certifications over those without. You may remember at your last automotive technician position/job interview that the service manager was very interested in your level of certification. There is little doubt the average customer prefers a tech with a patch.
Income: The level of pay in many shops is dependent on your level of certification. It's possible that a shop only hires technicians if they are already certified. There are many master technicians making more money than their un-certified professionals, even when they are equally skilled.
Education: It's always nice to keep up with anything new out there. This keeps a technician fresh, especially those in independent repair shops that are unable to take advantage of the free training programs offered by many dealerships. By the way they can be great, go if you can!
Confidence: When a technician is certified they have much more opportunity to move to a new shop/location if necessary. Even though the new interviewer does not now you, you have something to bring to the table. Actually you have something they may need in their shop today, your ASE Automotive Technician Certification papers. This may give you the confidence, the upper hand, and the position you desire. Actually each certification you bring to the table helps. There are many great tech's that have certifications only in specialty fields.
