Progressive independent garages from across Ireland and the UK are once again being urged to attend an innovative technical and hands-on training event, powered by OESAA.

The Original Equipment Suppliers Aftermarket Association (OESAA) promotes the benefits of fitting original equipment (OE) parts and is the driving force behind AutoInform Live, an event organised in conjunction with the UK’s leading technical trainer Frank Massey. The interactive weekend is being held at the state-of-the-art GTG Training Academy in Wolverhampton on November 28th and 29th and promises to be even bigger and better than last year’s inaugural event which attracted 180 technicians.

The GTG Training Academy is the ideal location for AutoInform Live as it gives exhibitors the opportunity to carry out detailed, hands-on training on live-running vehicles up on ramps. This year’s event will provide delegates with live on-vehicle training, demonstrations and diagnostics, IMI certified courses, troubleshooting tips and business know-how from industry experts, advice on how to repair and replace the latest OE parts using the best tools for the job and fit and forget technology.

Training modules provided will cover chassis, business acumen, diagnostics, electrics, engine, filtration and transmission, all delivered by the leading trainers in their field.

OESAA Chairman Nigel Morgan, Managing Director of Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket (UK) Ltd, owners of the LuK clutch, INA tensioner & FAG wheel bearing OE brands, said, “We think it is vital that independent garages get the right hands-on training and we are all determined to make sure that this year’s Autoinform Live interests, entertains and educates all those who spend their hard-earned money to attend.” He added, “We are currently working on a number of plans that we hope will make this year’s event even more attractive to those independent garages that are eager to learn skills from the companies that make the original equipment parts they fit.”

Full weekend tickets are now available, including a gala dinner option as well as single day passes. To book places call 0044-1772-201597 or visit www.autoinform.co.uk
