A huge thank you to MechanicDesk

We're stoked to have MechanicDesk coming on board as a proud sponsor of both the Morning Tea AND the Regatta at the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM!

If you've spent time in an Aussie workshop lately, chances are MechanicDesk is running quietly in the background, powering job cards, quotes, invoicing, SMS, and everything in between for workshops across Australia and New Zealand. They've become the go-to platform for workshop owners who want their business running smoother, not harder.

Sponsors like MechanicDesk are the reason our community gets to gather, connect, and celebrate the work we all do. We appreciate you!

Bring on Morning Tea, and bring on the Regatta!

A big thank you to hsy autoparts

We're stoked to have HSY coming on board as a proud sponsor of the Regatta at the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM!

Known as the go-to for quality European car parts, from Audi and BMW to Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, VW and beyond, HSY has built a serious reputation for keeping Aussie workshops stocked, supported, and running smoothly. And now they're bringing that same commitment to the water.

Sponsors like HSY are what make events like the Regatta possible, more boats, more crews, and more of those off-the-clock moments where the real industry connections happen.

We can't wait to see you out there. Bring on the Regatta!

A huge thank you to Century Batteries

We're thrilled to have Century Batteries on board as a proud sponsor of the Regatta at the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM!

There's something pretty fitting about Century, a brand that's been powering Aussie vehicles for over 90 years, helping power one of the most anticipated events on the AASDN calendar. From the workshops that trust them every day, to the boats hitting the water this year, Century Batteries keeps things moving.

Sponsors like Century are the reason events like this can bring our industry together, to connect, celebrate, and swap stories on and off the water.

We can't wait to see everyone out there. Bring on the Regatta!

A massive thank you to Ryco Filters 🙌🏼

We can't wait for the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM Gala, and a huge part of the excitement is thanks to Ryco Filters coming on board as the Gala Band sponsor.

From the first song to the last dance, Ryco is set to keep the energy pumping, the dance floor full, and the good times flowing, and if that wasn't enough, they're also backing a boat in the Regatta the next day. Talk about showing up for AASDN East Coast!

Ryco has been keeping Aussie engines clean and running strong for decades, and it's clear that same care extends well beyond the parts shelf, right into the community that keeps our workshops thriving.

Here's to the sponsors who help us work hard, celebrate harder, and stay connected. Bring on the Gala!

A massive thank you to Capricorn Society

We're absolutely thrilled to have Capricorn coming on board as a proud sponsor of both the BBQ Dinner AND the Regatta at the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM!

For over 50 years, Capricorn has been at the heart of the Australasian repair industry, a true cooperative built by Members, for Members. From the Trade Account that keeps thousands of Aussie workshops moving, to the Rewards, protection and finance support that helps them grow, Capricorn has been backing our industry since 1974. And they're not slowing down.

Sponsors like Capricorn are the reason our industry gets to come together, share a feed, hit the water, and remember why we do what we do. We appreciate you!

Bring on the BBQ, and bring on the Regatta!

Cheers to Sydney Diesel Centre 🍻

Massive thanks to the team at Sydney Diesel Centre for sponsoring the up & coming Happy Hour at the AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM and for backing a boat in the Regatta while they're at it!

There's something pretty special about an industry that comes together, shares a drink, swaps stories, and then hits the water together the next day and sponsors like Sydney Diesel Centre are the reason those moments happen.

From diesel expertise that keeps Aussie workshops moving, to the generosity that keeps our community connected, we appreciate you.

Here's to the partners who don't just show up, but are going to shout the first round.

A huge thank you to Burson Auto Parts 🙌🏼

The AASDN East Coast 2026 AGM Gala & Regatta won't be the same without your support.

Not only have Burson come on board as a proud sponsor of the Gala evening, they've also sponsored a boat in the Regatta, putting fuel in the fun and backing the network that keeps our workshops connected, sharing, and growing.

AASDN runs on relationships, and Burson continues to show up for the independent workshop community in a real, tangible way. From the parts on our shelves to the people cheering us on at events like this, we appreciate you.

Cheers for a cracking up & coming weekend, and to the partners who make it possible.
