Proudly sponsored by Repco, the Expo provides a national platform for the aftermarket to connect, learn and plan for what’s next

Technology, innovation, and practical solutions for the modern workshop will take centre stage at the 2026 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, as Australia’s automotive aftermarket industry comes together to explore the trends, tools, and training shaping the future of vehicle servicing and repair.
Co-located with the Collision Repair Expo from 14-16 May 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo will bring together the full breadth of the automotive aftermarket over three days, with more than 13,000 visitors expected across the two shows.
As vehicles continue to evolve rapidly, driven by new technologies and increasing system complexity, the Expo will provide workshops with direct access to the products, knowledge and expertise needed to keep pace with change.
From diagnostics and ADAS equipment and training, through to workshop technology, tools and software, the Expo will showcase solutions designed for real-world workshop applications.
Education remains a cornerstone of the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, with a comprehensive program delivering technical training for technicians to support efficient fault-finding across ICE, hybrid and electric vehicles, alongside business management training for owners and managers focused on productivity, workforce development, cost control and long-term sustainability.
Designed to support both technical capability and commercial performance, the program reflects the realities facing modern workshops.
Innovation across parts, accessories and workshop equipment will be showcased throughout the Expo floor, with 400 leading brands presenting new product launches, live demonstrations and hands-on experiences that reflect the breadth and diversity of Australia’s automotive aftermarket.
Networking is a defining feature of the Expo, offering three days of opportunities to connect with suppliers, peers, trainers and industry leaders from around the country, and engage in conversations that are difficult to replicate outside this biennial national industry event.
AAAA Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Charity, said the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo will play a critical role in supporting the industry through a period of rapid change.
“The automotive aftermarket is facing one of the most significant periods of transformation in its history,” Stuart said.
“The Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo brings the industry together to understand what’s coming and access the tools, training and expertise needed to remain future-ready.”
