Pre-registration for Automechanika Birmingham 2019 is up 21 per cent on 2018, with organisers urging garages to take advantage of The Big UK Garage Event and stay abreast of the latest industry products and innovations.

A record number of factors and technicians are due to descend upon the Midlands once again for the automotive industry trade exhibition, taking place from 4 to 6 June at the NEC Birmingham.

This year’s event will see the launch of many new points of interest covering all aspects of the automotive industry, including: the Big UK Garage Event, aftermarket innovation showcase, commercial vehicle showcase, garage equipment showcase and hosted garage programme – all designed to deliver an enhanced visitor experience.

CPD-accredited training

The Big UK Garage Event offers garages free parking, free breakfast on arrival and ‘Happy Hour’, where technicians can grab a free drink every lunch time.

Other exciting developments this year for garages include CPD-accredited training and demos from the industry’s top speakers including Frank Massey, Andy Crook and James Dillon, the Training and Skills Village and the returning Workshop Training Hub.

Exclusive giveaways for garages

Exhibitors will also be providing a raft of exclusive show offers and giveaways for garages at this year’s event.

Motor factors that bring their garage customers to Automechanika Birmingham 2019 will benefit from an exclusive VIP area, enjoy fast track access into the event and support with their travel arrangements through the hosted garage programme.

Innovation will be the leading theme for the 2019 event.

Following extensive Automechanika research, “new technology and innovation” were key reasons to attend the event for independent garages, motor factors, retailers and bodyshops.

Automechanika is looking to build on this by highlighting all innovation from within the automotive industry.

Other new initiatives for Automechanika Birmingham 2019 include: bodyshop demo hub, aftermarket power network, Automechanika Garage of the Year Awards and future mobility and innovation hub in association with Department of International Trade.

Jack Halliday, event director, said: “We’ve seen an increase in anticipation from visitors and exhibitors for this year’s event and the excitement is building.
