19^th August 2025: When TechFest arrives in Wembley on 18th September, independent garages will have the chance to discover new ways to grow their business and achieve real results.

As the UK’s largest garage technology festival, TechFest brings together more than 70 leading suppliers, the opportunity for businesses to gain fresh insights from expert-led Tech Talks, engage directly with suppliers, and explore the latest technology and solutions designed to deliver tangible benefits for their business and customers.

The event runs from 3pm to 10pm, with members of the aftermarket trade welcome to attend at any time. There will also be award-winning complimentary catering throughout the evening, alongside a host of exclusive on-the-night offers and competitions.

Tom Burgess, Director of Adderley Garage near Market Drayton, explains how TechFest has helped him level-up his business: “Attending TechFest Midlands helped us update our website and garage system, which will eventually allow us to streamline as a business and make a positive impact on the bottom line.

“The team enjoyed networking with suppliers, also it gave us a chance to have a good chat with the guys from GSF in a social environment to build the relationship.

“I couldn’t recommend TechFest enough to teams. It caters for all garage owners big and small, suppliers showing off products that we didn’t even know they did! It was a great event and we’ll definitely be at the next one.”

Anthony Cooper, Director at ACL Auto Repairs in Stourbridge explains how his team have benefited since attending TechFest: “The event really opened our eyes to the scale of opportunity that comes with working with GSF. The numerous chats on the night have led to real business developments, such as going through the process of becoming a Servicesure member which we’re really excited about.

“We also had some great chats with suppliers, and have swapped our oil supplier to Comma after a brilliant chat with the team. There are also plans for the future, as we were particularly impressed with 3D Group’s key cutting and programming solutions.

“And we can’t forget the free food, drinks, and activities which made it a fantastic evening out!”
