In the hands of a skilled technician, a smooth-running engine is a beautiful sound. Use the latest equipment and tools to diagnose and repair engines, brakes, and electrical systems. You’ll also perform vehicle maintenance. When you learn automotive technology from air conditioners to exhaust systems, you can earn ASE student certifications. These certifications provide the foundation you need to begin a career as an automotive technician in a dealership, tire shop, or independent service center.
