So at one point I decided I wanted to work on cars for a living. So I went to school, read some books and took some ASE tests. Then I was told I could make more money with more ASE's, so I got some more, and more (a1-a8 ). Now I am a service advisor, not working on cars at all and 2 of my certs are up this year. I asked my boss if he would pay for retests just to keep them current, he said no. There is no real point for me keeping them current at this time but you never know. The tests aren't cheap and they are up soon. Opinions?

Do you see yourself needing them in a career move within the window of the certification? If yes then go and take the test. If no then listen to the boss.1987 325i LeChump: H&R Race springs, weight reduction and beat to hell

True story. My father played with cars when he was a teenager so he decided why not make a living at it. Let's just say that he hates it now. He doesn't even like me working on cars, even through its strictly a hobby.Originally posted by mr.vang View PostFor all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniComment

All of the worst mechanics I've encountered have been ASE certified. Don't do it, I see it as a crutch.'89 325is S50 Track Montser
