<\/p>\nZF Aftermarket returned to the UK Garage & Bodyshop Event (UKGBE) 2026 in Birmingham, using the exhibition to demonstrate a range of digital workshop tools, technical support programmes and service solutions designed to help independent workshops navigate an increasingly complex vehicle parc.<\/p>\n
Throughout the event, ZF Aftermarket highlighted solutions aimed at helping workshops improve efficiency, enhance technical capabilities and unlock new revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n
One of the key attractions on the stand was ZF [pro]Manager, the company\u2019s digital workshop management platform, which generated significant interest from garage owners looking to streamline workshop operations, manage workflows more effectively and improve customer communication through a single integrated system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ZF also showcased ZF [pro]Diagnostics, its advanced diagnostic solution that provides workshops with deeper access to vehicle systems and protected OEM data. Supporting both passenger car and commercial vehicle applications, the platform enables technicians to carry out advanced diagnostic procedures and access secure gateway functions, helping workshops complete repairs more efficiently.<\/p>\n
Visitors were also able to learn more about ZF [pro]Tech, the manufacturer\u2019s workshop support programme, which provides technical training, installation guidance and access to vehicle-specific service information. Workshops signing up to the programme at the event were entered into a prize draw to win a McLaren-branded e-scooter, creating additional excitement on the stand across both days.<\/p>\n
Mark Hallam, head of marketing UK&I, France & Benelux at ZF Group, commented: said: \u201cThere was strong interest in our digital solutions, particularly ZF [pro]Manager and ZF [pro]Diagnostics, as well as the support available through ZF [pro]Tech. The event allowed us to demonstrate how these tools can help workshops improve efficiency, enhance technical capability and stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside its digital solutions, ZF also highlighted its oils portfolio and transmission servicing expertise, demonstrating how workshops can confidently expand their service offering with support from a leading original equipment manufacturer.<\/p>\n
ZF Aftermarket\u2019s presence at UKGBE 2026 reinforced its commitment to supporting independent workshops through a combination of digitalisation, technical training and practical solutions that help businesses adapt to the future of vehicle repair and maintenance.<\/p>\n
ZF will also be exhibiting at the 2026 Auto Trade EXPO, which takes place alongside the CV Workshop EXPO from 10th -11th October at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
