About this exam
The ASE G1 Auto Maintenance and Light Repair Test is a certification exam for technicians who perform routine maintenance and basic repairs on automobiles and light trucks. It is relevant to students entering the trade as well as working service technicians seeking to demonstrate broad, entry-level skills. ASE certification requires both a passing test result and qualifying work experience; candidates should check ASE’s current G1 requirements to confirm how their education or experience applies.
G1 covers practical knowledge used in a general repair shop, including shop safety and service information, tools and measurement, preventive maintenance inspections, and engine mechanical systems. The broader test also addresses vehicle systems such as brakes, steering and suspension, electrical, and engine performance. The exam is computer-based and multiple-choice; test length and current procedures should be confirmed through ASE before scheduling. Strong preparation means reviewing the task list and understanding why a procedure or measurement is correct, not just memorizing terms.
How to prepare for the ASE G1 test
- Use ASE’s current G1 task list to organize your review. Give focused attention to shop safety and service information, tool use and measurement, preventive maintenance inspections, and engine mechanical systems.
- Review service procedures, specifications, and diagnostic reasoning alongside basic component knowledge. When you miss a question during timed multiple-choice practice, read the explanation and identify the underlying concept before moving on.
- Build a realistic study schedule that revisits weaker areas rather than cramming. Check ASE’s official test information for the latest content, experience requirements, registration details, and exam-day policies.
