Motor Ages first issue was published in September 1899 and was launched as a weekly publication sold on newsstands for 5 cents per copy. The publication was originally targeted for those people working on their own vehicles, as well as those who fixed cars for a living. Today, Motor Age reaches over 140,000 automotive service industry professionals -- shop owners, service writers and technicians. With an experienced editorial staff, Motor Age strives to meet the critical information needs of the 21st century for its readers -- the professionals who service America's automotive fleet. Editorial coverage of both domestic and import vehicles includes real-world, in-the-bay-today technical information, as well as a look at what servicing issues shops will be encountering in the future. In addition, Motor Age offers shop owners practical business management information like no other service publication.
