Why Our Mechanics Go Back to School

The modern automobile is essentially a rolling supercomputer. Keeping those vehicles safe, efficient, and on the road requires a lot more than a toolbox and some elbow grease. It takes continuous education and a relentless drive to be the best.

At DeBoer’s Auto, staying ahead of the automotive curve is a core commitment. The entire team recently wrapped up an intensive round of training, and several technicians have reached major career milestones by securing advanced Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications.

Reaching the Peak of the Profession

The shop is celebrating a massive achievement by technician Bill Bosch, who officially earned his Master Certified Technician status through the ASE program. Before joining the team, he was already master certified specifically for Ford products. Now, he has conquered the rigorous testing required to hold master certification for all vehicle makes and models.

Earning a master certification means a technician has demonstrated deep knowledge across every major system in a vehicle, from engine repair and electrical systems to heating and air conditioning. Having a master technician on the floor means every vehicle that enters the shop benefits from top-tier diagnostic precision.

Building the Future of Automotive Care

The dedication to advanced training does not stop with one person. Longtime technician Corey took a major leap forward by completing his A4 ASE certification. He is already a certified emissions repair technician and is now just a step or two away from achieving his own master technician status.

Chris Colie also stepped up to the plate, successfully earning his specialized certification in emission repairs. 

What These Certifications Mean for Drivers

When a vehicle is down, life gets complicated quickly. Families lose their mobility, and local business fleets lose productivity. These rigorous certifications are not just plaques for the office wall; they are a direct investment in reducing stress for every customer who walks through the door.

An advanced certification means the person working under the hood knows exactly how to diagnose a complex issue correctly the first time. This level of expertise eliminates guesswork, speeds up repair times, and ensures that every safety system is functioning perfectly.

The team is incredibly proud of the hard work, late hours, and dedication these technicians poured into mastering their craft. Their commitment to constant improvement ensures local drivers always have access to the highest standard of automotive care.
