ASE is the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. An ASE certified Mechanic has been instructed and tested on how to perform maintenance on a vehicle. There are different areas of specialization for ASE certifications for different systems on a car. ASE certified mechanics aren't necessarily better mechanics but they take the job seriously to get certified and if you have a choice you should choose a mechanic with an ASE Certification. The person asked what is an ase MASTER mechanic? This specifically means the mechanic has passed all or nearly all certifications (tests) available in a test series (ie: auto, med truck, collision, etc ...) and the mechanic must also document at least two years of hands-on work experience. For example in the auto series there are 8 tests (A1 through A8) required before you are considered a master mechanic.
No.
Check to ensure it hasn't jumped time. Have a ASE certified mechanic check this...
Salaries for mechanics vary depending upon the dealership and certifications. Some ASE Master Mechanics can make six figures, but this is highly exceptional and by no means the norm - the average is in the $40k range. For every $100/hr you may be charged for labor, the mechanic will be fortunate to see a small fraction of that (and the fraction will vary).
Moved from discussion to answer area If this question is related to the dmv emission test, then approved means certified shops(ASE ect)or shops listed by them and dmv should have that information to give you. Not all shops and mechanics are certified even though they can do the work.
An ASE Certified technician is a mechanic who has fulfilled the voluntary requirements for certification by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

Sure. You might even get a job as a mechanic.
PLEASE get an answer from an ASE certified mechanic.
Inspection laws vary from state to state. State governments do not recognize ASE certifications.
If your mechanic can't reset the timing, then they're not much of a mechanic, try another mechanic and make sure they're a certified ASE mechanic.

No, Ase is only for automotive
A good mechanic should be ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified. ASE is a professional program that tests auto technicians on their knowledge and experience in several different areas pertaining to auto and truck repair. This would be a good way to know if your mechanic is qualified to repair your transmission.
No, as long as you have a knowledgeable mechanic who you trust you can have it repired anywhere. Just keep good records of the repair. Just make sure they are ASE Certified. Ask if you do not see a certification posted.
