Team ASE

Team ASE logo

Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972. ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals. Being competitive on the race track is important to the Leesburg, Virginia-based company. There is a high level of commitment from Team ASE's certified technicians involved in the program, both on and off the track. However, its success in motorsports is not solely measured by pole positions, top-five finishes or by slapping hundreds of decals on race cars. There is much more to the Team ASE program.
