There are independent workshops which specialise in different makes for out of warranty work. There are also a range of diagnosis tools and software which are compatible with all makes and models. Is it not up to each outfit to adapt to or keep in line with new tech?
Ultimately what the companies want to do is take your job and make you re-apply with every other mechanic in oz to work with them.

They don't want clever people out there working on machinery for less than they charge.

Oh and you won't be a mechanic anymore, your new title shall be technician, with commensurate wage decrease.
