The Association provides extensive industry information to its membership base, representing 28 different motor trades, through many member forums and on-site visitations.

Held in high regard by industry stakeholders, the MTA NSW offers members great value for their membership subscription with a range of services and products supplementing its traditional core services.

MTA NSW members have access to a number of benefits and resources designed to facilitate the running of their automotive businesses. From employment relations advice and associated services through to training, industry lobbying and automotive signage, the Association is in a strong position to support members.      
 
MTA NSW has developed a public recognition of the MTA NSW logo and catch phrase ‘Deal with someone you can trust’ and is also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), delivering on-site training at business premises, to staff and apprentices in the motor trade industry.
