Canadian Technician tells stories from the trenches in the automotive repair and service industry in Canada. Published by Newcom Business Media, it is written for the men and women who keep Canada’s fleet of cars and light trucks on the road, This award-winning publication was launched in 1996 as Automotive Parts & Technology, with a mission to introduce advanced vehicle technology, promote ongoing training, offer professional development, and report the latest news in an ever-evolving industry. In 2004 it was renamed and redesigned to reveal the human side of a profession which is too often misunderstood and under-appreciated in today’s car-centric society. The new format allowed for more interaction with readers. With features like EyeSpy, Reader Rides, reader surveys, a monthly AutoPuzzle, and an online discussion forum, it quickly garnered a loyal readership of repair shop owners, service advisors, and technicians.
