UK Garage and Bodyshop Event: FREE tickets now available
23 February 2022 
Registration has opened for the inaugural UK Garage and Bodyshop Event, taking place at Birmingham’s NEC from 8-9 June.
The UK Garage and Bodyshop Event, presented by Automechanika Birmingham, is the first large-scale event since 2019, and is set to welcome over 100 leading suppliers showcasing the latest products and working methods across servicing, collision repair, diagnostics, paint and refinishing.
Training partners include Autogem, Automotive Alliance Group (Group Auto), Bilstein Group (Blue print & febi Bilstein) Bosch Automotive Aftermarket UK, Bosch Car Service, Castrol with their ambassador partner, The Race Group, Dayco Europe, Liqui Moly UK, LKQ Euro Car Parts Snap-on Diagnostics, Thatcham Research, The Tool Connection, ZF [pro]Tech and more.
Combined with exclusive deals and promotions the event will be hugely valuable to attendees, as Kristan Johnstone, Project Director at Messe Frankfurt UK, organisers of the exhibition, observed: “The UK vehicle aftermarket is entering the biggest shift in living memory with the transition to hybrid and electric vehicles, compounded by ADAS-enabled technology and increasing digitalisation and connectivity in the sector. This exhibition presents a brilliant opportunity for garages and bodyshops to take home tangible knowledge and new processes that will help them create efficiencies and reduce overheads, as operating costs of running workshops soars amid the crisis of energy prices.”
He added: “The tools we want to equip our visitors with go beyond the technician’s toolbox, and includes the knowledge, technology and equipment in the back-office function that help bodyshops and garages to run their businesses more efficiently and profitably. The Covid pandemic has prevented the opportunity to explore industry developments for two years, while creating significant impacts for the sector, from MOT extensions and supply chain issues, to the disruption of traditional working practices. However, the opportunity has now returned and the event in June is set to be the most impactful gathering for the industry in 2022.”
