Master Advanced Diagnostics – Turbocharge Your Skills At Autocare 2025
Autocare 2025, Australia’s premier automotive training convention, will deliver an exclusive opportunity for technicians to take their diagnostic and advanced vehicle system skills to the next level.
Held on 20-21 June 2025 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC), the most valuable training event on the automotive calendar will provide hands-on learning from top international and Australian trainers, equipping technicians with the confidence and expertise needed to tackle modern vehicle complexities, while boosting workshop efficiency and profitability.
The highly anticipated Technical Training Program will feature cutting-edge topics, with a strong emphasis on J2534 programming for many of the most popular brands of vehicles.
These sessions are designed to demystify advanced vehicle programming, helping technicians develop a structured approach to resolving programming challenges while taking full advantage of Australia’s MVIS right to repair law and access to full manufacturer repair and service information.
Mastering advanced diagnosis skills means technicians and workshops no longer need to outsource complex programming tasks—saving time, reducing costs, and keeping control over their workflow and customer service.
Leading international trainers, including Brandon Steckler, Keith Perkins, and Tomi Oliva from the U.S., will join Australia’s foremost experts such as Jeff Smit and Brendan Sorensen (The Automotive Technician), Darren Todd (Bosch), Clint Flower and Sumin Kim (CoolDrive Auto Parts). Their collective expertise will offer deep insights into diagnostic workflows and the latest technology trends, ensuring technicians stay ahead of the curve.
Beyond programming, the training program will cover other highly sought after topics: scan tool data interpretation for pinpoint accuracy in diagnostics, developments in EV and hybrid vehicle systems, battery and charging system advancements, network failure diagnosis and effective troubleshooting techniques, picoscope essentials for in-depth waveform analysis, diesel and emission control system diagnostics, precision air conditioning (AC) diagnosis and more.
“Autocare 2025 is all about empowering technicians to master modern diagnostics and be at the forefront of industry advancements,” said Stuart Charity, CEO of the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA). “By gaining expertise in advanced diagnosis and programming, technicians can reduce reliance on external specialists, improve service turnaround times, increase workshop revenue, and take control of their career trajectory.”
For workshop owners, equipping staff with advanced diagnostic skills translates into higher profitability, improved efficiency, and the ability to offer more comprehensive in-house services, strengthening customer trust and business growth.
Autocare 2025, proudly sponsored by mycar Tyre & Auto, is also a valuable investment for workshop owners, offering a comprehensive Workshop Management Program designed to help business owners discover new strategies to grow their business, attract top talent, enhance productivity, and increase profitability.
