ASE shifts Automotive Service Professionals Month to October and April
The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) will observe Automotive Service Professionals Month (ASPM) this June, while announcing a planned transition beginning in 2026-2027 to shift ASPM recognition to October and April, coinciding with the Fall and Spring Car Care Months.
The change aims to better align ASPM with national Car Care Month activities already taking place across the industry. By moving ASPM to these established observances, ASE hopes to strengthen visibility for automotive service professionals and expand public engagement with technicians.
A word from ASE
“While we are still proud to recognize Automotive Service Professionals Month this June, moving ASPM to October and April allows us to more closely connect with Car Care Month activities already happening across the country,” said Dave Johnson, ASE president and CEO. “Many of the repair facilities that employ ASE Certified professionals already participate in these seasonal events, so aligning ASPM with them creates a natural opportunity to highlight the skill, training and dedication of these technicians.”
