As well as hosting the event, headline sponsor Delphi will be putting its training facilities to good use. The Academy has a fleet of more than 15 training vehicles, covering a range of technologies and diagnostic challenges. Visitors will be able to watch finalists working through complex fault scenarios, seeing how they approach diagnosis, follow workshop procedures and work under pressure. But there’s plenty happening away from the competition, too, with headline sponsors and industry partners bringing equipment, expertise and activities for visitors to get involved with. Snap-on’s fully equipped Diagnostics Live Tour Demo Truck will be on site throughout the day, giving visitors the chance to explore its latest diagnostic platforms, software and workshop solutions. While its Diagnostic Doctors will also be on hand to discuss difficult faults, diagnostic strategies and the challenges posed by increasingly complex vehicle systems. TOPDON UK is bringing its show van, with its entire product catalogue available for visitors to explore. Equipment on display will range from battery testers through to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration tools and Connor and Dai from the TOPDON team will be available to answer questions. For anyone interested in battery technology, VARTA will be offering practical advice on testing, battery selection and correct replacement procedures.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) problems remain a regular headache for many workshops, and JLM will be focusing on how to tackle them effectively. DPF expert Alan Landale will be available to discuss maintenance, cleaning and fault diagnosis, as well as how a better understanding of DPF problems can help garages offer customers a more effective service while generating additional business. Plus, Garage Hive will be demonstrating how its garage management software can help workshops run more smoothly and profitably.
