Any certification looks good on a resume. It proves that you have the desire to better yourself and move further in your career. Everyone has to start somewhere. ASE cert doesn’t mean you know more anyway. Experience is everything in the field. Anyone can pass a test if they study enough, but experience is what people look for. ANy master tech or L1 cert tech should not be worried about a G1 cert tech, just be happy for them that they are trying to better themselves and move forward.
It seems to me that mostly the master techs are the ones that this bothers…That’s just ego. What about 20 years ago when you were starting out, and you were in the same boat? You knew some stuff, but you really didn’t have a lot of experience yet. But someone gave you a chance. Well for new techs, some sort of certification could help them get that chance.
Obviously, an employer would more likely still choose the guy with experience. It’s about your attitude too. Employers will give guys with less experience, but who seem motivated and doing things like [this G1 test], a chance as well.
I think the problem is that a lot of guys that have been in the field for 20+ years forget where they started…doing light repairs and preventative maintenance.

Most techs at shops use smoke machines now to find the vacuum leaks. Im glad Eric shows the way DIYers can do this at home without expensive tools.
And even though he did stumble with the ignition tune-up, at least he shows the steps leading to the conclusion,and the things that you should be looking at when diagnosing a misfire.
great video eric
