@@learndiesels its a racket, its not pointless but ASE was setup to make a lot of money for them, and the schools, the whole part about needing 2 years of experience is also bullshit, lot of guys who do garage work and build engines at their home, (but work in IT and not busing their balls all day in a shop) cant get certified, even tho they know more than the tire changer / oil guy at the dealership. completely insane.
