Automechanika Birmingham exceeding expectations, all the right people were there. The visitor numbers were great it seemed busy all the time and we saw lots of key figures within Bodyshop industry. Met MD's from MSO's, influencers and independent Bodyshops and we picked up at least 50 tangible leads, the leads were of a high quality (40 / 60 ) mix of old v new customers. The Bodyshop area had the best atmosphere and was the busiest. Internally the show surprised quite a few people and have now signed up for both UKGBE & AMB

An amazing Automechanika UK Great levels of engagement with people visiting the #boschaftermarket stand. This event is a great benefit to the Trade, in that it allows companies like Bosch to engage, educate and support the garages who are facing a monumental challenge when it comes to working on the latest technologies. It’s been brilliant.
