My tip, if you study you will think the test was easy. If you don't study, you'll think it was very hard! Be prepared. I used MotorAge Study guides and ASETestPrep app. Went from 0 to Auto Master Tech in 4 months. Also certified in T-3 & T-4. Haven't failed any tests yet. I will get Master Heavy Med Truck no doubt, because I want it and I'm willing to put in the time it takes. I am 53 yrs old & got my first Certification June 2018. Nice video, congratulations on your Master Tech. Good luck and God Bless you 🙏
how did you get 2 years experience? seems completly insane that you need 2 years prior experience in a shop to take these tests. myself i been building engines since 1970s on mopar (challenger) worked on direct fuel injection, carbs, built engines from the block up, you name it, but ASE wont let me test. they say that since i didnt work in a shop for 2 years I know nothing. which is total bullshit lets be honest. I also been workin in IT for the past 20 years not doing auto work as a profession
Yo yo yooooooo. Literally started from a valet from UTI. WORKED my way to tires tech and then apprentice tech and then 5 years later became a level 1 BMW master tech. It does t matter what route you take. Do you and SHINE!!!!
I’m starting as tire tech now my plan is to do the same and also try to get my certificates and anything else I can to aid my knowledge position experience and income
I’m from nyc nine of these high end dealerships want you to have them. The dealerships are all mafia on the east coast. Especially nyc. You will not move up ever. The pay will not increase. They don’t want you to have ase that means you get paid more. Another reason I left that industry.
Aug 2019 I started as a porter at Honda, was promoted 2 month later to lube tech, Jan 2nd I received another promotion and now I’m a flat rate tech so yea 2020 pretty epic so far
I worked in a shop for two years, then worked as a parts sales manager for two years. Then I got a bachelor's degree for teaching ELA, then a master's for teaching special ed and have been teaching for a few years. Just found out that if I pass A1-A8, I can get certified to teach vehicle mechanical repair. Very excited to get started on this next journey of passing these tests.
"Like some shit is going down in 2020" Freeze frame with a gradual zoom in to his face. Voice in the back ground says: "Little did he know that shit was indeed going down in 2020."
Went to uti for 6 months never graduated. Started learning about cars at 17 didn’t know nothing at all when I went to uti. Started off at midas after failing uti and now I work at Toyota. Don’t give up it doesn’t matter where you come from. Bout to be 20
Thank you! Thank you! I've always said that just because you have all of your ASE's does not make you a Master Tech. All it means is you have read the material and passed all of the tests. If I were a shop owner I would much rather have a tech with many years of experience and NO ASE's than a young tech who has all of their ASE's and no experience.
My instructor had study guides for the ASE tests. They were just majority of the questions on the test and the answer. He taught us a lot of techniques and what actually works. He is very well aware that ASE is kinda shitty. But hell the certifications allow you to be more qualified for the jobs and you make more than someone without them.
One thing that has really helped me if anyone out there is looking for study tips are the motorage ase study books. Just go through the question part and answer them then check ur answers. Whatever you didn’t do well on go to that section in the book and read up. Hope this helps!
I have 50 years as a Master Mechanic, have been ASE certified since 1980, I have Master Auto, Master Diesel Truck, Master Automotive Machinist, Master Body, L1 and L2. My only current ones are Master Auto required for work. The tests are guess tests, anyone half way familiar with cars can pass them. The tests used to be harder but not enough people passed them so ASE made them easier. Save you money and time, ASE tests are useless. In fact the most of the automotive repair trade sucks, just about every mechanic at dealerships are ready to get out of the poor paying trade. If you can get into a union dealership you are better off, the unions have a education program for their apprenticeship programs. Then you can go into factory training, now not all factory training is the same, the GM program currently sucks, but at one time was one of the best.
Rn I have A4 steering and suspension, A5 brakes, A6 electrical, A7 HVAC, and A8 engine performance. My advice would be don’t be cocky on what you know and study also be prepared for test test questions meaning the questions they put in there that don’t have a right answer eat be hydrated and be well rested and do some last minute studying. Update: I now have A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, G1, and P2 and just got a job at Mercedes with no Mercedes experience or dealership experience thanks to ASE’s
I've recertified 4 times Master, 3 times L1 and I'm about to recertify Hybrid, yeah I'm old. A1-A8 ASE's just evaluate a technicians understanding of basic fundamentals. The L1 evaluates a technicians ability to apply those fundamentals in real world diagnosis and I think the L1 does a good job of it. You're not going to fake your way through the L1. Of course ASE's don't evaluate a techs work ethic or ability to turn wrenches. But when you're young, ASE's help show that you are serious career technician. When you get old, current ASE certification can help show technology hasn't passed you by. I've worked for the same dealer for 28 years, of course book hours are still the primary metric in which we're judged, but I still think ASE's are important and give you an edge over non-certified techs.
Im a master tech also and i got my L1 plus inspection license with waver. I always said if I'm going to do this, I'm going to make the most money i can. My tip master voltage drop testing
just curious as to where you work where electricals helps out with your money side? I currently am a high end diagnosis tech at a honda dealership and its a major downfall as the advance techs get the eletrical diag and we dont get paid to diagnose stuff, only to replace stuff, so maintenance/suspension work is far better $. TIA
Yooo, yooo, yooo, Nick Ik it’s not just me but I recently came across your channel in late 2019 and you have opened my eyes sm and you’ve help me out sm! THANK YOU!
My brother, we adopted each other on our own recognizance, came to the US illegally from Mexico, he didn't even speak English. He was able to get in on the Reagan era amnesty, he started sweeping at a shop and grabbing tools and parts for mechanics as well as paying attention to what the mechanics were doing. When he had a little extra money he bought tools and would go down to junkyards and teach himself about working on cars. The owner of the local pick a part actually hired him to take off the starter and alternator when the cars were first put down, he got fried because he was too slow compared to another guy, but my brother was taking it off like he was going to put it back on. Eventually he got a job at a Pep Boys and bribed his boss with breakfast everyday so he would show him how to use all the equipment in the shop, not to long after that he won a contest that all the Pep Boys in the country have that gives the mechanic with the most billable hours an all expense paid week at Disney World for him and his family. He worked a few other places and eventually had his own shop. He pretty much just does side work now, but he is the fasted wrench around. He didn't graduate high school here or in Mexico, he never went to any automotive school and never had on ASE certification.
Thank you for letting people know that having certifications doesn't make you a master technician. I haven't taken a single ASE test yet, and never really felt the need to get them. I guess just because I already had a job, but boss will refund if I pass plus give a raise. Thanks for the video!
I am working at a Toyota dealership in Washington. I am going through the Tten program currently. From what I’ve seen so far the dealership only reimburses you for your tests if you pass. Same with all the other dealerships in my class.
The motor age books are by far the best ones. Any tech that doesn’t have any should get them ASAP, it opens so many doors and Job security is a plus, once I became ASE master along with Toyota MDT, the jump in pay raise was like 7-15$ more...so yes it worth getting them. But also experience and being a good tech/worker has to be taken into account. You can’t just be a t-10 grad with all Ase’s and expect to be at 35$
@@GORILLA_PIMP yea, it doesn’t, that’s what moslty all SoCal dealers pay for top techs which I think is rather low, techs should be up at around 45-60$ but in the end is all about the big wigs pockets…
Jay Hey man I’m leaving high school this year and thinking of either becoming a diesel tech or mechanic. I just wanted to ask you, were you able to find a good job in the field ? What did you start off doing ?
Beamer Boy I’m a diesel tech and I started working at fed ex I’m making $65k-68.5k a year I’m only 19 I just started doing this. I’m doing preventative maintenance. Sometimes I’ll do like a gear box, valve cover, brakes,wheel seals, s cams, electrical work. Pretty bad ass
It's much easier now than ever to get a job working on diesel trucks, fleet or equipment. So many places are having trouble finding techs. I started out 14 years ago making 50k a year just getting into it. Easily a 6 figure job with some experience. Now especially is the time to get into it if that's what you want to do. You'll never not have a job. Go to a company that has a truck fleet, tell them you will change lights and tires and you have no experience. I'm in the north east and we just hired a 20 yr old kid for $28/hr who has never picked up a wrench and is learning. It's hard to find help right now as opposed to 10 years ago. Good luck.
I got my master medium and heavy truck certification t2-8 my tips are to study the tests individually and you’ll do fine I past everyone first try got them all within 6 months
Just subscribed! Watched all of your Toyota vids and I’m in Minnesota I was mind blown when I saw you turn rotors with an on car lathe! There’s so much rust build up here it’s not even an option to use a machine like that. Anyway, after 3 years I finally decided to get certified and It’s so worth it.
Just the video i was looking for! I was able to pass the Medium/Heavy duty Truck Brakes ASE (T4) by one question! Studying to take the PM (T8) test in a month
Paul I got my master medium and heavy truck certification t2-8 my tips are to study the tests individually and you’ll do fine I past everyone first try got them all within 6 months
Paul Jimenez I’m currently studying for my T6 electrical. I’m sure I’ll pass it since I’ve been answering all my practice questions easily. Next one I’m going after Is gonna be T4.
I am currently going to Francis Tuttle, which is a Technology School Center. I go there for Automotive. My last year there. I have already passed all my ASE Certifications..all I need is Engine Performance!
I came from the tten program as a graduate and the classes help take the test on the class you are working in if not do what I did and study every source you can find books but what helped me the most is remembering some questions and going over them with my co workers at the Toyota dealer. keep at it
Not gonna lie I’d go to school twice a week my senior year. still manage to score 90s on all the test and never turn in any homework. So I definitely feel you when it comes to winging test. And yes I graduated 🤣
A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A9, L2 T2, T4, T6, T8 H1-H8 B5 Working on world class technician status.. One thing to keep in mind is when reading a tech A & tech B style question, those technicians aren’t or never speak to each other. It’s not a debate between the two. Eliminating the answers on the computer left click on the answer to cross them out. For the ones you don’t know.
Got my brakes and steering and suspension ASE . Just work at a independent shop right now but im still making 20$ an hour flat rate so pretty nice. Im def gonna move up to a dealership one day though .
I got A1A3A4A5A6A8 and L1... I have to say, L1 was the hardest. The one I was closest to failing atleast. I recommend doing it immediately after A8... Now i have my smog repair technician license, next I'm getting the snog inspector...
I don’t have any ASE and I can do anything as the veteran in the industry who have all ASE. But damn!! Just taking online pretest was hard lol. But I was told it’s a little easier on the actual test.
Definitely need a study guide and study time.prior to ase testing. Gonna go for my T series (medium/heavy truck) ase's soon since I'm in fleet maintainence.
Justin Del Carmen I got my master medium and heavy truck certification t2-8 my tips are to study the tests individually and you’ll do fine I past everyone first try got them all within 6 months
I worked in the aviation industry for 4 years and the powersports industry (motorcycles, boats, atvs, side by sides, jet skis) for 5 years as a mechanic. Would they count that as work experience or does it have to specifically be automotive industry?
Ok so this is my first research video you explained a lot for my attack so sometime next year after l pass my tests I am going to have to owe you some $$$$ lol thank-you for this channel. I have hit that subscribe
17 years old I have engine repair ASE and brake systems ASE, I also have my ford certifications for suspension, steering, all my tires certs for the tests honestly I would say use the process of elimination
Anthony Gallegos dood how tf you get engine repair before the easy ones?! Props to you for getting that ase I’m intimidated at that test and I’ve been wrenching for 6 years after auto tech school lol
Phanit Phoutthaphaphone that was the 2nd class I took its pretty easy if you know how an engine works and common sense honestly the brakes test was harder
If you don't have ASE certs and your job won't give you a raise after getting the certs... you can easily apply somewhere else and take your tool box with you.
Honestly I don’t think ase is worth it my neighbor hired supposedly an ase certified mechanic all he had to do was replace a thermostat in a car he was working on that for almost week only for my neighbor to go under one day to see why was he taking long and next thing you know he broke the transmission he kept tightening the drain plug so the transmission had a nasty leak so my neighbor with no mechanic experience replaced the thermostat in 5 minutes you should of seen how he screamed and fired the ase mechanic
@@LetsDriftMedia True. I'm reconsidering just going to a cheaper school. I'm not guaranteed to be ASE certified after graduation like UTI or Lincoln Tech advertises but if I can cut tuition in half it seems like a better deal.. or am I missing something? Why are people going to these way more expensive schools if the only difference is they guarantee you an ASE certification. The certification tests are only $40 a piece right?
Ase are a great thing to have but work experience goes a long way. (Master tech as well) I know several guys who stop getting Recertified years later and just open their own business. Even my girl who’s never turned a wrench in her life has two Ase 😂
Besides getting my ASE’s test, do I have to go to community college ? Or can I just get my ASE’s and go to a paid training job and gain experience and have them teach me ?
You don’t need schooling to take ASE, anyone can take the test, you just won’t get your actual certification status until you have 2 years of experience working at an automotive related job.
I have all 8 ASE certifications. My instructors from technician schooling told us students we could get $1 raise for each ASE certification. Is that correct? Any information would be appreciated. Also do you get commission for every job you complete? A potential employer offered me 3-5% of every repair I service, I feel that’s a little low. What are other mechanics percentages?
I make $35 an hour and got No ASE's, I took 7 ASE's only Chassis and Brakes A/C passed 12 years ago, by 2013 New Technologies, No ASE may not teach you about SunRoofs, Convertibles, CVT's, Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Braking & Steering, Gateway Channels, BCM's, All Manufacturer Training that works in Real World
Great Video thanks looking to make myself a little more desirable after 10 years as a military mechanic, anyone else notice the Aquafina next to the wall. lol
@@LetsDriftMedia I tried to do that as well when I was a paint pepper but nothing worked that well ended up with a amazon special that worked pretty great.

"Being an ASE Master Tech does not make you a master tech" that's such an understatement for some technicians out there....
It's also very true statement. Because anyone can be trained to answer questions on a test. Training on the field can take years.
Then it goes the same way the other way around. Being master tech, it shouldn’t be any issue getting ASE certified.

I am currently going to Francis Tuttle, which is a Technology School Center. I go there for Automotive. My last year there. I have already passed all my ASE Certifications..all I need is Engine Performance!
hey guys i am 18 and i’m in the t ten program. i passed the ASE Electrical but failed engine repair by 1 point. they’re actually hard
PISTON TECH if I where you. Try and work at a shop as a lub tech. Then just look over the other mechanics.
I came from the tten program as a graduate and the classes help take the test on the class you are working in if not do what I did and study every source you can find books but what helped me the most is remembering some questions and going over them with my co workers at the Toyota dealer. keep at it
Not gonna lie I’d go to school twice a week my senior year. still manage to score 90s on all the test and never turn in any homework. So I definitely feel you when it comes to winging test. And yes I graduated 🤣
I legit started studying for the A6 perfect timing
“Some shit is about to go down in 2020” give this man a damn award for prophecy! 😂
"2020 seems pretty badass like somethings about to go down in 2020" bro jinxed the pandemic
I just started working with a school district in the mechanic shop department, and look forward to take these tests soon, thanks for the great info!
How did it go? All I need to be certified to teach vehicle mechanical repair is these 8 tests,
I don’t have any but I know this year ima get some if not all ! 2020!
2020!
Wow 1 month later, I have 3 ASEs !
@@alexfranco5831 good shit man glad to hear!
I been in the automotive industry for 2 years I’m ready to get a few ase it’s guaranteed better pay can’t wait I’m gone study
Not in nyc. They do t want reasons to pay you.
It's all about Real World Experience. All the diags and getting your hands dirty! I go in Cold to take the tests. Thanks for this!
Me watching this in 2022 “sounds like some sh*t about to go down in 2020” you don’t know the half of it
A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A9,
L2
T2, T4, T6, T8
H1-H8
B5
Working on world class technician status..
One thing to keep in mind is when reading a tech A & tech B style question, those technicians aren’t or never speak to each other. It’s not a debate between the two.
Eliminating the answers on the computer left click on the answer to cross them out. For the ones you don’t know.
Thanks great tips !
Yes, some "shit was about to go down" in 2020. You were right.
Got my brakes and steering and suspension ASE . Just work at a independent shop right now but im still making 20$ an hour flat rate so pretty nice. Im def gonna move up to a dealership one day though .
Move up to a dealership? Lol dealerships are cut throat man, good luck, if your busy stay where you are
Great video man I'm glad I ran Across it i am more confidence to go take my test I'm going for A-7 next week on the 16th
Bro you called it right.... crazy shit this year so far 2020!!
Foreals shits really hittin the fan these past months lol
I got A1A3A4A5A6A8 and L1... I have to say, L1 was the hardest. The one I was closest to failing atleast. I recommend doing it immediately after A8... Now i have my smog repair technician license, next I'm getting the snog inspector...
Not recognized in the automotive world, but I managed to get a entry-level ASE in engine performance! I hope to get my real ASE's some day :)
You got this man !
Some shit is definitely going to go down in 2020.
“2020 sounds like some shits about to go down” yes shit did go down indeed
0:33 u were right something did go down in 2020
Shit definitely went down in 2020 😂
All kinds of shit went down in 2020😂😂
I don’t have any ASE and I can do anything as the veteran in the industry who have all ASE. But damn!! Just taking online pretest was hard lol. But I was told it’s a little easier on the actual test.
Shit you were right about “2020” hell of a year indeed
No kidding 😶
Im happy for you! Definitely motivation for me right now In Tech School! Thank you I hit the subscribe!
Great vid bro! Getting ready to take mine in a couple months
They don’t want you to have Ase in nyc dealerships. They don’t like to pay
Sometimes skipping the question, along the way you may find the trigger answers to that one question you skipped
Super helpful video thanks man!
Thanks for the tips!! “Always” keyword
Get the app for renewal you get 24 chances during the year to get 8 questions right to add a year
The Ford dealer I work at doesn’t care of Ase only Ford Certifications 😒
That's because Ford doesn't recognize ASE
Definitely need a study guide and study time.prior to ase testing. Gonna go for my T series (medium/heavy truck) ase's soon since I'm in fleet maintainence.
Justin Del Carmen I got my master medium and heavy truck certification t2-8 my tips are to study the tests individually and you’ll do fine I past everyone first try got them all within 6 months
Thanks man this was super helpful
Thanks for the heads up bro! This info is invaluable. 👍
Are these questions in the test prep books the actual questions on the test or is it a shot in the dark and it’s like questions?
I worked in the aviation industry for 4 years and the powersports industry (motorcycles, boats, atvs, side by sides, jet skis) for 5 years as a mechanic. Would they count that as work experience or does it have to specifically be automotive industry?
I'm not too sure on that one
Ok so this is my first research video you explained a lot for my attack so sometime next year after l pass my tests I am going to have to owe you some $$$$ lol thank-you for this channel. I have hit that subscribe
Well?
😂😂😂 “we taking a ase test or we flying across the border “
Some shit definitely went down in 2020 lol good vid tho, thanks for your thoughts
17 years old I have engine repair ASE and brake systems ASE, I also have my ford certifications for suspension, steering, all my tires certs for the tests honestly I would say use the process of elimination
Anthony Gallegos dood how tf you get engine repair before the easy ones?! Props to you for getting that ase I’m intimidated at that test and I’ve been wrenching for 6 years after auto tech school lol
Phanit Phoutthaphaphone that was the 2nd class I took its pretty easy if you know how an engine works and common sense honestly the brakes test was harder
"Shit's about to go down in 2020"
If you don't have ASE certs and your job won't give you a raise after getting the certs... you can easily apply somewhere else and take your tool box with you.
Honestly I don’t think ase is worth it my neighbor hired supposedly an ase certified mechanic all he had to do was replace a thermostat in a car he was working on that for almost week only for my neighbor to go under one day to see why was he taking long and next thing you know he broke the transmission he kept tightening the drain plug so the transmission had a nasty leak so my neighbor with no mechanic experience replaced the thermostat in 5 minutes you should of seen how he screamed and fired the ase mechanic
6:46 that moment you realized you actually signed up for the C.I.A. instead 🤣
Haha I was like is my settings off at the beginning of the video. 😅
Which ase test is easier? I heard brakes are one of them is that true?
So when I shop has an ASE sticker in the front door, it actually doesn't even mean all the mechanics in there are actually ASE certified?
Its possible. But fersure someone in there is certified unless they just bought the sign somewhere.
@@LetsDriftMedia True. I'm reconsidering just going to a cheaper school. I'm not guaranteed to be ASE certified after graduation like UTI or Lincoln Tech advertises but if I can cut tuition in half it seems like a better deal.. or am I missing something? Why are people going to these way more expensive schools if the only difference is they guarantee you an ASE certification. The certification tests are only $40 a piece right?
can you just apply at a dealership with no experience and no certification ?
How much are you guys making per year? Not to be rude but looking into this as a career choice.
Shooting for 100k this year but took me 9 years to get to this point.
Can I get an answer key to the A6?
Is the answer is technician B on brake rotor?
Thank you. I'm scared. But I need to move up
Ase are a great thing to have but work experience goes a long way. (Master tech as well) I know several guys who stop getting Recertified years later and just open their own business. Even my girl who’s never turned a wrench in her life has two Ase 😂
Some shit did indeed go down in 2020 😂
When do u go for the ase and what exactly do you do?
Besides getting my ASE’s test, do I have to go to community college ? Or can I just get my ASE’s and go to a paid training job and gain experience and have them teach me ?
You don’t need schooling to take ASE, anyone can take the test, you just won’t get your actual certification status until you have 2 years of experience working at an automotive related job.
I have all 8 ASE certifications. My instructors from technician schooling told us students we could get $1 raise for each ASE certification. Is that correct? Any information would be appreciated. Also do you get commission for every job you complete? A potential employer offered me 3-5% of every repair I service, I feel that’s a little low. What are other mechanics percentages?
Highly unlikely to get 1$ per ase raise but everywhere is different. And we get paid flatrate
That bit about 2020 killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2020 thus far has proved to be an exceptional year.
Are the tests hard if you don’t have work experience?
I make $35 an hour and got No ASE's, I took 7 ASE's only Chassis and Brakes A/C passed 12 years ago, by 2013 New Technologies, No ASE may not teach you about SunRoofs, Convertibles, CVT's, Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Braking & Steering, Gateway Channels, BCM's, All Manufacturer Training that works in Real World
What course did you take in college to be able to work at Toyota at first
Great Video thanks looking to make myself a little more desirable after 10 years as a military mechanic, anyone else notice the Aquafina next to the wall. lol
Lmao good eye. That's actually a home made sprayer bottle !
@@LetsDriftMedia I tried to do that as well when I was a paint pepper but nothing worked that well ended up with a amazon special that worked pretty great.
thank you this video was very informational
