LKQ UK and Ireland will showcase the strength of its aftermarket offering at this year\u2019s UK Garage & Bodyshop Event (UKGBE).<\/p>\n

Taking place on 3rd\u20134th June at the NEC Birmingham, LKQ will be represented across three key spaces: as headline partner on the Modern Garage stand alongside Messe Frankfurt, on a dedicated LKQ Euro Car Parts stand, and its Bodyshop division will be supporting the Bodyshop Village.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s presence puts a spotlight on how LKQ is supporting the future of the independent aftermarket \u2013 from electric vehicle (EV) and sustainable repair solutions to expanded powertrain and product ranges \u2013 all backed by the scale, availability and delivery performance that workshops rely on every day.<\/p>\n

A major highlight will be the opportunity for visitors to experience LKQ Electriq and LKQ SYNETIQ for the first time, two of the group\u2019s newest specialist businesses.<\/p>\n

LKQ Electriq will give visitors a first-hand look at dismantled high-voltage batteries and the realities of EV repair, while LKQ SYNETIQ will showcase one of the UK\u2019s largest genuine used parts propositions \u2013 helping workshops access cost-effective, sustainable repair options.<\/p>\n

Across the spaces, LKQ will group its support into three key areas:<\/p>\n

On the LKQ Euro Car Parts stand, visitors will be able to connect directly with specialists across the business \u2013 from powertrain experts to LKQ Academy training teams. They can also find live demonstrations of repair techniques, tools and processes designed to improve efficiency and profitability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
