GREAT NEWS...
The summer edition of autotechnician magazine is available to view/download online now!
In recent years, there has been a growing trend to share knowledge – no longer are people holding onto ‘trade secrets’ and reaping the benefits for themselves but actively passing on proven methods and valuable repair advice to help their peers improve. Nowhere is this more evident than trade shows and training events.
The UK Garage & Bodyshop event was a huge success for both visitors and exhibitors, we provide highlights from page 50. Our autotech feature from page 18 highlights details of our fantastic training and social event where we were joined by young and old technicians and workshop owners who were there to benefit from the practical advice but also the connections made.
Technical features include Batteries & Chargers, Clutch and Steering & Suspension.
We hope you benefit from all the features we provide for you this month.

SPONSORED POST... "Transmission fluid lasts a lifetime!" Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is. The fluid in your automatic transmission is subjected to similar stresses as engine oil and must be changed regularly according to the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid potential damage. Outdated transmission fluid can lead to serious transmission problems. You're in safe hands with the latest technology from MEYLE. Our specially formulated MEYLE Oil ensures perfect performance for all automatic transmissions. Regular transmission oil changes usually eliminate the need for a flush, especially in lower mileage transmissions. However, it's not recommended for high mileage transmissions (150,000 km and above) as it can cause damage. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐩: Schedule a transmission fluid change at your next service interval to ensure a smooth ride. Trust MEYLE for optimum performance and longevity!
