Running an automotive workshop today is more complex than ever. Vehicles are packed with advanced electronics, evolving safety systems, and manufacturer-specific procedures that leave little room for guesswork. For busy workshops, the challenge isn’t just fixing vehicles, it’s finding the right information, fast, and having confidence that the solution is correct.
That’s where a MotorTech subscription comes in. MotorTech is designed to be a practical, everyday resource for workshops—combining trusted technical information, expert support, and real-world problem solving in one subscription.
At its core is access to a comprehensive online technical database, covering a wide range of vehicles and systems. Instead of juggling multiple sources, outdated manuals, or unreliable online forums, MotorTech gives workshops a single, reliable place to find service procedures, specifications, wiring diagrams, diagnostics guidance, and repair information. When time on the hoist matters, having accurate information at your fingertips can be the difference between a smooth job and costly delays.
But MotorTech goes beyond just data. One of its most valued features is Techline—direct phone access to qualified automotive technicians based in Melbourne. These are experienced professionals who understand the realities of workshop life and can help you work through complex challenges and guide you to the right information when you’re stuck. Rather than spending hours chasing answers, workshops can speak to someone who knows the trade and can point them in the right direction quickly and confidently.
Everything behind MotorTech is backed by the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce, an organisation with more than 100 years of experience backing the auto industry
A MotorTech subscription also includes Tech Talk, a monthly print magazine that has been supporting workshops for four decades. Tech Talk focuses on real workshop issues—common faults, emerging technologies, and practical repair insights—written by technicians, for technicians. It’s a valuable resource that many workshops keep on hand for reference, training apprentices, or simply staying up to date with what’s happening across the industry.
Importantly, everything behind MotorTech is backed by the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce, an organisation with more than 100 years of experience backing the auto industry. That depth of knowledge and experience means MotorTech isn’t theoretical or generic—it’s built around the real needs of Australian workshops and the challenges they face every day.
In an industry where technology is advancing rapidly and margins are tight, having trusted technical support isn’t a luxury—it’s a business necessity. MotorTech helps workshops reduce downtime, improve repair accuracy, support their technicians, and deliver better outcomes for customers.
If you’re looking for a smarter, more reliable way to support your workshop, MotorTech is worth exploring. Find out more at motortech.com.au or call 1300 130 116.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
