Durham School Services and its sister brands recognize the newest group of ASE Master Technicians and Blue Seal locations. 

Both recognitions are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) to respectively distinguish an individual’s and location’s extraordinary level of maintenance expertise and service excellency. ASE-certified technicians are experts in their field and at the forefront of industry standards.
