UK <strong>Garage</strong> & Bodyshop Event Review<br />
A1 ADAS Solutions Group see<br />
surge of enquiries following UKGBE<br />
Event hailed a success for the ADAS, diagnostic and garage<br />
equipment specialist.<br />
Two weeks on from the UK <strong>Garage</strong> and Bodyshop Event,<br />
A1 ADAS Solutions Group has reported a surge in<br />
enquiries following the successful trade show.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event, attended by over 5,000 people, was hailed<br />
a success for the ADAS, diagnostic and garage equipment<br />
specialist with its experts constantly in demand for advice and<br />
information across the two days.<br />
Managing director, Iain Molloy, said: “Since the show,<br />
we’ve had meetings with national companies, bodyshops,<br />
workshops, and colleges, some of whom have travelled from<br />
across the UK to see us at our HQ in Norfolk.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> enquiries have been for our full range of services<br />
and products with a particular increase in demand for our A1<br />
Remote Diagnostics offering. This is in line with us constantly<br />
hearing about the problems workshops are having with secure<br />
gateways. Sometimes they’re even struggling to reset a service<br />
light.<br />
“At that point, they’re looking for our A1 Remote Diagnostic<br />
service to step in and take the problem away. <strong>The</strong>y just call us,<br />
plug in the interface and we remotely carry out the coding.<br />
Some jobs literally take us ten minutes. Prior to working<br />
with us, that problem might have involved hours of unbilled<br />
technician time, a trip to a main dealer, or both.”<br />
For the A1 ADAS Solutions Group, the UKGBE show followed<br />
hot on the heels of Mechanex-PMM Live last month, an event<br />
that Iain says was equally successful.<br />
“A lot of attendees wanted advice and to buy products<br />
there and then. We saw a lot of the Autel 909 go out which<br />
offers good all-round value for money and has the option to<br />
add ADAS software, multipack secure gateway unlocking, and<br />
EVs.<br />
“As a company we’re experiencing incredible growth. We’ll<br />
be expanding again over the summer and look forward to<br />
seeing everyone at more trade events later in the year.”<br />
