The Motor Age mission is to provide the highest quality industry news, product, technical and shop management information to service dealers and technicians who form the backbone of the automotive service industry in the U.S.
Motor Age is a monthly trade journal serving the professional automotive repair industry. Founded in 1899, Motor Age was the first trade magazine devoted exclusively to providing shop owners and technicians with the latest information on automotive technology, technical service information and both industry and product news to keep automotive service professionals abreast of the latest industry changes and technical developments. As the first technical journal for professional automotive service dealers, Motor Age set the standard for all publications to follow and remains the most well-read and respected magazine of its kind. As Motor Age celebrates its 100th Anniversary in 1999, the magazine continues to evolve to serve the ever-changing needs of both shop owners and technicians.
