ASE Certification?

[FastRR]

Hi guys,

I was curious about ASE certification. I noticed NAPA auto parts prefers parts counter people to have ASE parts certification. Not saying everyone who works there has it, just that they prefer it. I was wanting to work for NAPA warehouse parts or possibly another automotive store or repair shop.

Here is the situation; I have over 20 years of working knowledge on various types of vehicles of many brands. However I have never worked in a professional repair shop, but I am very good at repairing anything in a car other than transmissions or transfer cases. I don't really know much about them.

So i went to the ASE website and noticed the certification tests can be taken online. My question is: where do you get the study materials and how hard is it to pass the 4 or 5 tests to become ASE tech certified?
What type of questions will they ask?

Thanks for the help!

Your best bet is to find out if they pay for ASE tests as they can get expensive. They aren't nearly as hard as you would think.
