Garage Hive has confirmed its return to Automechanika Birmingham, where it will unveil the latest advancements in its all-in-one garage management system. The show runs from 3rd to 5th June at the NEC, with the Garage Hive team welcoming visitors in hall 19 on stand Q60.
Offering live demonstrations and one-to-one advice, the team will be on hand to support independent garages looking to improve efficiency, customer service, and profitability.
“We’re excited to be back at Automechanika Birmingham, it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with garage owners, share ideas, and showcase the innovations we’ve been working on,” said Alex Lindley, Director at Garage Hive. “From AI-powered tools to new integrations and training support, everything we’re bringing to the show is designed to help workshops run smarter, faster, and more profitably.”
Among the stand-out features being showcased will be Garage Hive Copilot, an AI tool that auto-generates clear, professional language for use in vehicle health checks, sales invoices, and other customer communications. Also featured is the new integration with ServiceSplit, which brings predefined service plans that make it easier for customers to manage maintenance costs while giving garages a competitive edge over dealerships.
Garage Hive’s growing training provision will also be highlighted. Delivered from its dedicated IMI-accredited training centre in Nottingham, courses such as the three-day Super User and two-day Service Advisor programmes are designed to help garage teams maximise the system’s potential and drive lasting business improvements.
Visitors to the stand can also enter a prize draw for a chance to win a free ticket to The Blend 2025, the annual conference and networking event for forward-thinking garage owners, happening on Saturday, 18th October, in Birmingham.
Elsewhere at Automechanika Birmingham, attendees will have access to over 150 hours of free training, technical demonstrations, and seminars. The Workshop Hub will cover key topics such as diagnostics, MOT, ADAS, and diesel systems, offering essential insights into the evolving challenges faced by workshops.
