The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, recently commissioned to conduct a series of studies to better understand which repair tasks are performed most frequently, just started a survey focused on brake repair tasks.
Survey participants don't need to be ASE-certified to take the survey. As a thank you, ASE will randomly award $100 Amazon gift cards to five lucky individuals who share their time and experience by taking the survey.
As an industry-created and directed organization, ASE depends on the industry for input. Certification tasks and test questions are written by industry subject matter experts from independent repair shops, dealers, after-market suppliers, OEMs and trainers. Responses to the survey and the others in the series will help drive ASE certification standards, as well as technical training.
To learn more and take the survey by Jan. 3, visit the ASE brakes task list review.
