Member Networking Events

WA Networking Event

Join AAAA in Perth this August for an important member forum on the future of the independent automotive aftermarket.

With major reforms, new vehicle technologies and changing regulatory expectations all moving quickly, this forum is a timely opportunity for WA members to hear what’s coming, what AAAA is doing, and how industry can help shape the conversation.

Hosted by AAAA CEO Stuart Charity, the evening will deliver key insights and the latest exclusive updates on AAAA’s advocacy efforts.
Stuart will present an association update, reflections on the success of the 2026 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, and a look ahead to Autocare 2027 in Adelaide.

He will also share the findings of the AAAA’s brand-new market research into what car owners really want from their workshop – and how that compares with what workshops think they want. The results may surprise you: the research shows that communication, trust and follow-up – not price – are what truly drive customer loyalty, and reveals practical, low-cost opportunities for workshops to win and keep more customers.

This is your chance to connect with industry peers, ask questions, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of our sector. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay informed, have your say, and network with fellow members.
