Exhibitor testimonials
We had a fantastic few days at the UK Garage and Bodyshop event, and experienced much higher numbers than I think anyone even expected! It was great to be back in front of our customers, this event is very much a mainstay of our industry and it’s fantastic to have it.
Darren Lloyd, ZF [pro]Tech
It's been really good. The way it’s organised has been brilliant. We’ve had a great experience with the organisers and the team sorting out the whole event has been brilliant. We’ve been able to get in and get our stand looking sharp in relatively no time at all really – it’s been quick and easy and painless. It’s been really good.

Visitor & Partner testimonials
I see such a value in coming to the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event. It’s great to meet people face-to-face. I just love the conversations that I’m having – it was a really enjoyable day!
The event was excellent, and very interactive. It’s important to familiarise ourselves with the latest technology to assist a modern, busy bodyshop.
With arguably the biggest shift for the UK aftermarket happening here and now with the presence of ADAS and hybrid/EV technology, increased cybersecurity and access to in-vehicle data, and this event for garages and bodyshops is essential to keeping the industry connected and up to date.
The UK Garage and Bodyshop Event is a must for my diary as a workshop owner. Digital resources have helped enormously during lockdown, but I am looking forward to experiencing first hand the training and products that are going to drive my business forward.
