The technician

Tino

Co-founder and the sole technician at FCAR. Fourteen years under the bonnet, and a Diploma of Automotive Technology (AUR50216, AQF Level 5) from Kangan Institute in Melbourne — the highest vocational automotive qualification below an engineering degree.

That training isn’t a badge on the wall. The AUR50216 curriculum is built on written findings and upfront quoting — which is exactly how FCAR works. The method came first; the workshop was built around it.

“The people who found your car and built it are the same people who service it.”

What that training means

One set of hands, three jobs

The same qualification that reads a car can build one, and keep one running.

Find a car

He can read a car

Knowing what to look for — the wear, the history, the signs of a past repair — is what makes a pre-purchase inspection worth having.

Build a car

He can build a car

Years of hands-on work behind every job — and the eye to coordinate panel, paint and performance to the same standard.

Keep it running

He can keep it running

The everyday mechanical depth — servicing, diagnostics, repairs — that keeps a car healthy long after you drive it home.
