As you would have seen on the cover, we have an extensive feature on Warren and Brown Tools; a company deeply rooted in Australian mechanics for more than 100 years. Contributing writer Jamie Gray is back at it again with his Tool Tests. With Rodney and Andrew from Superior Auto Sports, he had plenty of fun playing about with JBS’ whopping 69-piece socket and 14-piece spanner sets and their handiness for a plethora of applications. Things get even hotter when Jamie looks at Hot Devil’s latest blow torch, as well as
Arnott’s new air suspension and AEG’s 3/8" ratchet wrench skin. As usual, the team at the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME) brings us valued insight into the state of the industry, particularly around the skills shortage it’s experiencing.

Australian Car Mechanic January - February 2024

Australian Car Mechanic November - December 2023

Show season has gone into top gear

Race bred : Peter Brock took his first Bathurst crown at the wheel of a Holden LJ Torana XU-1. Little wonder road-going versions are so highly sought after.

Gearhead : Ashley Beeby’s pursuit
of diesel mechanics was about as straightforward as dissecting a truck
engine. But the journey has Ashley cruising along in her dream profession.

Australian Car Mechanic March - April 2023

The new year is in full swing, and Australian Car Mechanic has you covered with all the latest industry updates and products. Our January/February edition takes an in-depth look at Bosch Car Service, as well 4x4 accessories and motorsport news. We also feature stories on classics including the Shelby Daytona and a 1964 Mini.

 

In the September/October 2022 issue we feature JBS and their proved industrial performance. We covered the 2022 Garrett Advancing Motion Brisbane Jamboree and looked at best practices for your business with IAME. In our Classic Cars section we featured a 1974 Citroën DS, while we caught up with Jim Tatton for our 'Mechanic Profile' and paid a visit to Pacific Ford’s Maroochydore. This issue also included  Workshop tools in our Focus Feature, a range of technical features, smart solutions, innovative products and more.

This magazine provides hands-on knowledge and skills to automotive mechanics who run a workshop business. We skip the gimmicky cover girls and focus on delivering a great read to automotive technicians and mechanics with the industry legends, the latest news and trends, adventures and technical articles - and much more every issue.

The ACM team has done a great job this issue, of course. On the Cover we have KONI, a name synonymous with quality, performance and durability has been building premium shock absorbers since the 1940’s. As Focus features, we have ‘Driveline and under the car’ and ‘Fuel injection and engine-management systems’, followed by a company profile on Injectronics, GT Auto Garage in Brisbane is the workshop profile and mechanic David Bruce shares a story or two from his lengthy and successful career.
Naturally we have the usual Smart Solutions, Innovative Products, Eye On The Industry and Business And Finance.

ACM Mar/April issue goes out with a bang with Iain Curry spending time with Frank Lowndes as he shared some incredible stories of Bathurst and racing in the late 1960s and ’70s. Better still, Iain was given a close look into Frank Lowndes’ love of one particular car. I won’t spoil it. Work your way through the issue and see for yourself. On the cover we’ve underlined the challenge facing energy storage in modern cars with VARTA. We also cover Summernats 34, get you the latest in Performance Products and Workshop Equipment plus so much more.

ACM is kicking off another huge year with a jam-packed issue. Starting at the front is the cover story: Precision Automotive Equipment is celebrating 25 years. We’ve also embraced the new year with a new idea. On page 12 you’ll find a section called OurAuto Powered by VACC. The tech features are raging, of course. Specialist Tools Australia has some excellent equipment to help deal with diesel-fuel contamination.  The Focus Features underline some exciting new advances in 4X4, batteries and electrical, and of course, Iain Curry brings us one of his gorgeous Classic Cars. This time he’s found a sensational 1959 Plymouth Belvedere.

This issue APG – Auto Parts Group – is our big story, and it’s about as big as stories can get. APG is a masterpiece of parts supply and innovation. It’s very interesting to see the way the company thinks and operates.
All the usual features like Smart Solutions, Innovative Products and Eye On The Industry have great advice and insight for the automotive industries, as does the IAME report and a very thought-provoking piece from David Fraser at Capricorn Society Ltd.
Of course, there’s a few focus features, a couple of Milwaukee Tool impact drivers get rattled through their paces, and ZF Services Australia is centre stage for a company profile. Former General Manager of Operations at Burson Auto Parts, Terry Penney, is the subject of the Industry People feature, and with over three decades on the job, Terry has a wealth of experience to share.

Could hybrid drives be the real-world bridge which moves us all from the internal combustion engine to the electric drives?
We’ve had look at hybrids this issue, and Castrol’s involvement with the sector. It’s an interesting area for thought.
As always, we’ve had a wander around to chat to some industry notables. Peter Blanshard of the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers gives few tips on coping with the restrictions of the pandemic, Andrew Schram tells us about his four decades with Burson Auto Parts, and Chris Edwards shares some memories of a career with Snap-On Tools, providing hardware and equipment solutions from workshop to workshop for 30 years.
The Motor Traders Association of NSW has shared some big news in this issue, too. A trial of digital vehicle registration will kick off shortly, and it’s likely to be an extremely popular move with both the auto industries and the general public.
Of course, we have a couple of focus features – workshop tools and oils and lubricants – Iain Curry has a good close look at a gorgeous 1926 Model T in street rod trim, and the usual smart solutions, innovative products and Eye On The Industry all get a run.

In this issue we’ve had a look at steering and suspension as well as brakes and clutches and focussed on some of the leading edge gear and technology in the field. We’ve also had a look at workshop tools, run a few tools over the bench, talked to some industry pros and, best of all, put the magnifying glass on a 1979 Toyota FJ40.

In this issue we look at the superior battery technology for modern day vehicles with Century Batteries.
We have teamed up with the Institute of Automotive Mechanical Engineers (IAME), an organisation focussed on improving the automotive industry and offering a high level of support to people working in all areas within it.
Alongside the IAME we’ve also had a bit of a chinwag with the Motor Traders’ Association of NSW and had a look at how that worthy organisation has revamped its online store.
Garret Advancing Motion has launched a new turbo, the focus features cover driveline, under the car, engine management and fuel injection, Iain Curry lobbed in a great profile on Geoff Morgan and his incredible work on the venerable Moke and Mini, and that’s not even half of what we’ve packed into this amazing issue.

This issue we look into Start-Stop technology and how to choose the right battery with VARTA, the latest in performance products, workshop equipment and smart solutions. We also tool tested Snap-on Solus Legend Diagnostic Scan Tool and report on the Garrett Advancing Motion Drag Day at Summernats Slam 2021. Our Classic Cars section features a 1936 Oldsmobile 'Sloper' and, last but not least, we talk to Rob Pinnell, Service Advisor at Caloundra Isuzu Ute and we meet Geoff Fear from Hyundai N Performance Division.
