Registrations for the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event 2026 are now open.
The event, which takes place at the NEC Birmingham on 3-4 June, will examine all the issues impacting the collision repair sector at the moment, from diagnostics and fault finding to electric vehicle servicing, ADAS, compliance and changing customer payment expectations.
It will bring together the tools, training and expertise needed to navigate major industry shifts including wider regulatory and business challenges such as SERMI, Block Exemption, Euro 7 emissions, data access, and cyber security requirements.
Visitors can look forward to hands-on access to the latest diagnostic equipment, workshop tools, parts, technical training and business support, alongside networking opportunities, live demonstrations and expert-led sessions.
A strong line-up of leading suppliers and exhibitors has already signed up, including Alliance Automotive Group, Autel, Bosch, Delphi, GS Yuasa, Hella, LKQ Euro Car Parts, MAHLE and Think Car.
Joanne Knowles, event director at Messe Frankfurt UK, organisers of UKGBE, said: “UKGBE is built around what today’s garages truly need; practical solutions, accessible training and direct access to the brands shaping the aftermarket.
“Opening registration marks the start of the journey, and we’re looking forward to welcoming workshops from across the UK to two days of learning, networking and hands-on discovery at the NEC in June.”
