ABOUT US
The Automotive Technician
The Automotive Technician (TaT) was established in 2007 by a group of far-sighted technicians who realized that for the aftermarket to prosper it would be essential for technicians to share their knowledge, information and experience.
TaT is a unique platform that provides members with practical information and diagnostic solutions straight from the workshop floor. Information of the kind that you won’t find in a call centre, manual or wiring diagram.
TaT shares its information through its technical magazine, repair database, technical help service, Scan data database, diagnostic programs and training seminars.
