BIRMINGHAM, U.K. — The UK Garage and Bodyshop Event, presented by Automechanika Birmingham, provides the first opportunity for the industry to meet face to face on this scale since 2019, and get hands-on, learn, network and prepare for the fast-evolving landscape of the automotive industry.
With just under three months to go until the inaugural event, exhibitors are giving a glimpse of what visitors can expect to see at the show, taking place from June 8th – 9th at Birmingham’s NEC.

Attending the first UK Garage and Bodyshop Event is Bosch Automotive Aftermarket, showcasing its latest developments for ADAS, and covering themes such as digitalization. Bosch will have a vehicle on its stand, demonstrating ADAS 3000 and diagnostics kit, plus scenarios and live demos for visitors.
