Mechanex Sandown Park 2026
As one of the UK’s longest-established garage trade shows, Mechanex continues its regional run with a dedicated two-day format tailored specifically for independent garage owners, workshop managers, and technicians.
Free to attend, the regional layout is designed to bring key industry suppliers and technical specialists directly to working workshops.
The exhibition floor hosts a broad mix of major component brands and niche manufacturers, displaying the latest replacement parts, workshop consumables, hand and power tools, diagnostic platforms, and garage management software.
Unlike conventional trade exhibits driven by sales collateral, the focus remains firmly on letting technicians inspect hardware, handle tools, and evaluate workshop systems first-hand before committing capital expenditure, supported by live bay demonstrations and exclusive show-only commercial deals.
Practical training forms the backbone of the event programme under the PMM Live banner.
Staged across both days, free-to-attend technical and business seminars led by industry specialists tackle real-world diagnostic snags, emerging vehicle powertrain developments, and actionable strategies to tighten workshop efficiency and margin performance.
Selected seminar sessions also qualify for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation, providing workshop staff and technicians with verifiable training hours away from the ramp.
