I completely agree with you.

Although I would prefer the guy with the experience and the cert

Re: master mechanic?

yeah but the point is that you only start with the cert. experience is what makes you a Master, I see Walmart oil techs with "Master Mechanic" Patches on their uniforms, uh I am sorry but no.

My Son is at UTI Phoenix getting his Diesel Master Mechanic Certification, the very first thing I told him was the only thing that makes you or anyone else a "Master Mechanic" is experience, end of discussion. The Manufacturers themselves have the very same philosophy as well.

ASE won't allow you to take one of their tests with out at least 2 years experience.
That's no guarantee you will pass though.

The functions of the ASE testing is to test your experience, test your ability to understand what you're reading (crucial to being able to understand the service info for what you're working on), and also test your common sense.

Seen plenty of smart techs out there that aren't certified, and a couple of dumb-dumbs who squeaked by, by picking enough right answers. Most of them don't make master tech though, and certainly don't make L1 or L2 (advanced level specialist).

My manufacturer master tech status has long since expired, since I have long since not worked for that dealer. Prerequisite for that was ASE master, and attending about a dozen 2-3 day long classes, then maintaining that status by attending any new model training classes.
