LISLE, IL, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Durham School Services and its sister brands are once again shining a much-deserved spotlight on its latest and greatest group of revered ASE Master Technicians and Blue Seal locations.

To achieve Blue Seal status and recognition, at least 75% of a location’s technicians must be ASE certified, and there must be ASE-certified technicians for each area of service performed.
