Alldata Europe helps crown Top Technician and Top Garage winners


Alldata Europe, a leading provider of original vehicle manufacturer (VM) repair, maintenance and diagnostic data, recently joined fellow automotive aftermarket professionals in celebrating some of the best independent workshops and technicians at the Top Technician and Top Garage final in the UK.

Held at the Delphi Academy, Alldata Europe played a pivotal part in the judging process, with its UK sales director, Simon Frost, evaluating candidates in the service advisor category. In the end, it was Sharon McCormick of CCM Garages (Ewhurst) who claimed the overall honour.

Frost was joined by regional sales manager Eric Ware, who supported Alldata Europe’s presence at Top Technician and Top Garage by meeting delegates. It transpired that more than half of the finalists were already subscribers of Alldata Repair and several were named winners throughout the evening.

Alldata Repair gives technicians access to genuine, unedited original equipment manufacturer information from 41 VMs. It comprises of more than 90 million articles, 8.5 million technical drawings and wiring diagrams with connector views for 144,000 year, make, model and powertrain combinations.

Ware engaged with prospects throughout the day, explaining the benefits of using Alldata Repair and original data to technicians. As vehicle repair and diagnostics become more complex, accuracy and safety are more important than ever, having genuine OE data by technicians’ side is a must. Doing so will mean simplifying the most complicated of repairs, enabling workshops to thrive.

“It was a pleasure to support Top Technician and Top Garage,” Ware said. “I enjoyed catching-up with customers, listening to their feedback, while meeting new prospects too. I am confident that our presence has increased the awareness and advantages of ALLDATA Repair and the use of genuine OEM data.”
