AUTOCARE 2023, Australia’s largest automotive training convention, is headed to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on June 9-10.

Technicians and workshop owners from across the country are preparing to attend the event, which is said to offer comprehensive training covering the most important industry topics and a free to industry trade show featuring 100 of Australia’s best brands.

Sponsored by mycar Tyre & Auto, Autocare 2023 will include a dedicated Technical Training Program sponsored by Auto Tech as a major drawcard. The sessions are said to give technicians cutting edge techniques and tips to more efficiently diagnose, service and repair the latest vehicles, and prepare them for the EV future.

Among the experts gathered for Autocare 2023 is renowned aftermarket diagnostic specialist Brandon Steckler.

Mr Steckler is a qualified Master Technician and a world-renowned trainer, author and speaker. As an instructor at CarQuest Technical Institute and WorldPAC Training Institute and Technical Editor for Motor Age magazine, he is said to be the perfect fit for Autocare 2023.

Organisers say Mr Steckler’s sessions will be highly sought-after for service and repair professionals looking to fast-track their ability to efficiently diagnose and troubleshoot fault codes, failures and errors relating to modern vehicle functionality.

“We are delighted to have Brandon Steckler join Autocare 2023,” said Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association chief executive, Stuart Charity.
