Repair Excellence roadshow returns for 2026

6 July 2026  

ALLDATA’s Repair Excellence Event roadshow will return in 2026, with Oldfields Garage hosting the first event in the latest series.

Following events at Shaikly Motors and DC Lomas in 2025, the roadshow will again bring together workshop professionals and aftermarket suppliers for a programme focused on the technical and business challenges facing independent garages.

The day will combine presentations from industry speakers with smaller group seminars covering practical topics designed to be applied in the workshop. OEM repair information will also feature, with ALLDATA using real-world examples to explore the role of manufacturer repair data, maintenance schedules and labour times in supporting workshop efficiency and processes.

Tim Benson of Oldfields Garage acknowledged that attending an industry event on a Saturday represented a commitment for busy workshop owners and technicians but said the focus would be firmly on practical value.

“Giving up a Saturday is never a small ask, especially in this industry, but if workshop owners and technicians care about doing the job properly, developing their team, improving their business and being part of a stronger independent aftermarket, this is exactly the kind of event worth making time for,” he said.

A number of aftermarket suppliers will also support the event, with networking opportunities built into the day.

Tim added: “Our goal for the day is to build an environment where participants receive practical solutions to real workshop challenges. They’ll also gain valuable technical insights and engage in honest conversations that they can apply to their own businesses on Monday morning.”

Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with the full schedule and registration details available from ALLDATA.
