LEESBURG, Va. -

National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence president and chief executive officer Tim Zilke said automotive service professionals go above and beyond to provide essential services. They ensure that vital vehicles stay in service to perform their important roles and help keep the motoring public on the road, he said.

Those are some of the reasons ASE has designated June as Automotive Service Professionals Month.

“Because these skilled professionals deserve our thanks, ASE has designated June as Automotive Service Professionals Month to recognize the valuable work they perform each and every day,” Zilke said in a news release.

Zilke went on to say ASE invites all industry members to join the institute in observing the occasion and marking it with special programs, recognition events and other celebrations.

“In addition, June will be an opportune time for motorists to thank their own certified technicians on their social media platforms,” Zilke said.

ASE has also developed a special logo to commemorate Automotive Service Professionals Month.

Companies, organizations and individuals can use the logo to recognize vehicle service professionals during June. The logo can be downloaded free of charge by visiting the ASE Tool Kit.
