ASE A6 Electrical Systems — Cert Prep
ASE A6 is the gateway certification for any tech serious about diagnostics. This lesson covers the test domains at the depth the exam expects: batteries, starting, charging, lighting, gauges, CAN networks, and accessories.
ASE A1 Engine Repair — Internal Diagnostics
ASE A1 covers everything mechanical inside an engine: compression, leakdown, valve timing, oil consumption analysis, and head/block work. This lesson covers the diagnostic mindset that wins the test and the shop bay.
ASE A8 Engine Performance & Drivability
ASE A8 is the drivability cert — sensors, fuel, ignition, emissions, and the integration of all systems. This lesson covers the diagnostic patterns and integration tests the exam expects you to know cold.
Shop Ownership: Estimating, P&L, & Hiring
The best techs eventually go independent. This lesson covers the math of running a profitable shop: hourly rate calculations, the gross margin model, hiring techs, and the mistakes that bankrupt 30% of first-year shops.
