5th June 2025: GSF Car Parts, the UK’s fastest-growing motor factor, heads to Coventry’s CBS Arena on 19th June for its second TechFest of the year. It’s a trade-exclusive event like no other, that goes late into the evening and brings the aftermarket world together under one roof.

“There’s nothing like TechFest” according to one of the 70 top aftermarket brands present at TechFest North, hosted at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse last month. While TechFest uses a trade show layout, it layers on top so much more.

“We set out to create an informal atmosphere and finding interesting venues is the first step in the process,” explains James Onions, Marketing and Communications Director at GSF.

“From the second a guest arrives at TechFest,  there’s a wide range of things to see and do. Whether that’s exclusive on the night offers or being treated to complimentary award-winning catering. Everything is designed around our garage guests. We know they are busy people so we pack in as much as we can.  There’s opportunities to meet people, gain knowledge, inspiration, and of course save them money.”

Luke Garratt, UK & Nordics Technical Services Manager at Delphi, shares the enthusiasm: “Last year, we came to TechFest at Wembley and really enjoyed the event,” he explains. “This year, it’s fantastic to see how much the event has grown. There are clearly a lot more people here, and the cars on display are incredible.”

“For us as a company, it’s a great opportunity to gain real-world exposure to the end users of our products. Talking directly to the technicians who are fitting our braking, steering, and suspension components, or using our diagnostics tools, helps us understand exactly what they need and want.”

TechFest heads to Coventry’s CBS Arena on 19th June, then returns to Wembley Stadium on 18th September. Get your tickets at gsftechfest.com
