Delphi Academy helps garages tackle brake squeal complaints at GSF TechFest

Delphi took centre stage at GSF TechFest London this week (Thursday 18 September) at Wembley, by bringing its latest workshop solutions and expert guidance directly to vehicle technicians.

The grand finale of this year’s TechFest series, which saw more than 70 leading suppliers and hundreds of garages in attendance, offered the chance to explore cutting-edge technology, engage with industry experts, and discover solutions that deliver real garage benefits.

Adding to the excitement, Luke Garratt, UK Technical Manager at Delphi, lead a live session on the main stage titled ‘What’s that Noise’, offering a definitive guide to eliminating brake squeal. Technicians discovered the root causes of brake noise and learnt practical techniques to minimise complaints in the workshop.

“Brake squeal remains one of the most common issues garages face, and it can be frustrating for both technicians and customers,” said Luke. “Brake squeal can happen on any vehicle, with any technician, and using any brand. It’s a huge drain on time and resources for workshops, distributors, and manufacturers alike.

“Our session at GSF TechFest gave attendees the insights and confidence to deliver quieter, safer, and more reliable braking every time.”

Delphi’s OE knowledge of modern braking systems underpins the training it provides at Delphi Academy.

Today’s brakes are smarter and safer than ever, with advanced electronic controls that manage not just stopping power but how and when a vehicle stops. By combining OE-aligned components with diagnostics, support and training, Delphi ensures technicians can understand, service, and optimise today’s braking systems.
