The event, held at the NEC in Birmingham from 5/6 June 2024, offered attendees access to dynamic training, cutting-edge technologies, and essential tools.

Visitors engaged in interactive exhibitions, live demonstrations, and workshops, with over 100 hours of seminars led by more than 80 industry experts. Discussions focused on upskilling the workforce, embracing industry training, and aftermarket recruitment strategies.

The event featured 120 exhibitors, including ZF, Bosch, Hella, Alliance Automotive Group, Snap-On, Comma, LKQ Euro Car Parts, Niterra (formerly NGK), and Castrol. These exhibitors launched over 25 new products, showcasing the latest advancements in service and repair products, diagnostics, and garage equipment.

A key highlight was the Modern Garage, sponsored by LKQ Euro Car Parts, designed to equip business owners and managers with the tools, technology, and expertise to service and repair modern vehicles effectively and profitably.

Joanne Knowles, event director for the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event, said:

“The second edition of the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event has surpassed all expectations. The growth in attendance and the overwhelming positive feedback from both exhibitors and visitors demonstrate the event’s importance in the automotive industry.”

The event also hosted the second edition Automechanika Birmingham Garage Awards, recognising the industry’s best talent.

The UK Garage and Bodyshop Event continues to grow as a vital platform for the automotive aftermarket, with plans already underway for the event to return in 2026.
