ALLDATA kicks off 2026 Repair Excellence Roadshow at Oldfields Garage

Following a highly successful run in 2025 across Shaikly Motors and DC Lomas, ALLDATA is officially getting its 2026 Repair Excellence Event roadshow underway. The next stop? The highly respected Oldfields Garage.

Recognised industry stakeholders will kick off the day with engaging, high-impact presentations before delegates split into smaller, focused groups.

These concise technical and business seminars are designed to deliver practical, bite-sized strategies that teams can immediately absorb and apply to their day-to-day operations on Monday morning.

Oldfields Garage’s Tim Benson is under no illusions about the sacrifices required to attend weekend training events, but he emphasises that the long-term return on investment is undeniable.

“Giving up a Saturday is never a small ask, especially in this industry,” said Tim. “But if workshop owners and technicians care about doing the job properly, developing their team, improving their business and being part of a stronger independent aftermarket, this is exactly the kind of event worth making time for.

“These events are rare, so I urge the trade to come forward and take advantage of the content that’s on offer.”

Tim added that the true value comes from face-to-face collaboration: “We wanted to host a Repair Excellence Event because the best progress in our trade happens when workshop professionals get in the same room, share openly and challenge each other to keep raising standards.

“Our goal for the day is to build an environment where participants receive practical solutions to real workshop challenges.”

At the heart of the roadshow is a focus on navigating modern vehicle complexity. As a primary provider of official OEM repair data, maintenance schedules, and labour times, ALLDATA will demonstrate how workshops can leverage structured technical data to bolster day-to-day efficiency, profitability, and overall professionalism.

Rather than theoretical concepts, the sessions will center on real-world examples and tangible software solutions.

A variety of aftermarket suppliers will also be on-site to support the event.

With breakfast and lunch provided, delegates will have ample opportunities throughout the day to network, share experiences, and discuss common industry challenges with peers.
