Logicar provides advice on how to select and maximise the right garage equipment for your workshop

In 2025, Australian workshops face a fluid landscape shaped by technological advancements and shifts to the economy.
Logicar says investing in quality workshop equipment diversifies revenue streams for immediate growth.
It points towards market research by the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA), which noted that independent car workshops gained more business over the last three years and now handle 60 percent of all vehicle service and repair jobs. This is a 10 percent increase from where they were before.
Additionally, the aftermarket sector, which involves selling parts and accessories that aren’t original to the vehicle, accounts for 57 percent of the revenue in the consumer vehicle market. This sector has also grown by five percent during that time.
In simple terms, independent workshops and aftermarket businesses are becoming more popular and capturing a larger share of the market.
This trend is a good indicator of how customer preferences are shifting toward more flexible, cost-effective options in vehicle maintenance.
Investing in garage equipment that is the ‘right fit’ for your needs is vital, says Logicar, which states this allows you to adapt to new technologies, keeping your workshop ready for future demands.
Logicar advises that it is important to approach discussions about your problems with a curious mind, especially when working with a knowledgeable sales rep who is skilled in finding the right solutions.
You should ensure the sales rep’s approach is flexible and agile with customised solutions, allowing you to make quicker decisions.
Logicar says you should focus on new ideas for revenue streams that consider what your neighbours are doing.
It also says you shouldn’t stop there – stating that simply having the right garage equipment isn’t enough.
Ongoing employee training is essential to ensure your team can fully utilise newly acquired equipment.
Constantly changing diagnostic tools, ADAS equipment systems, and even car hoists require proper training to ensure your team can operate effectively, efficiently and safely.
To get the ‘right fit’ and provide new revenue streams crucial for workshop growth, Logicar encourages you to invest in the right equipment and undertake the right training with the right sales rep.
