Andrew Page announces major AutoInsider Live! schedule with MINI giveaway
After two highly successful events last year, Andrew Page’s AutoInsider Live! is set for an impressive 2015 with five separate trade shows across the UK.
In addition to having the chance to meet suppliers face to face and see what new products are available, all attendees from each event will be entered into a draw to win a MINI. Entry to the draw is completely free, with the winner being announced at the final AutoInsider Live! event of 2015, taking place in Doncaster this November.
Covering the North to the South, the series of regional aftermarket events will feature product presentations, technical seminars, live demonstration areas and supplier exhibits. These exciting one-day shows are supported by the industry’s leading suppliers, including Mintex, Mann + Hummel, Yuasa and Bosch, and showcase Andrew Page’s unique approach to the industry.
Working with leading venues including The Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Sandown Park in Surrey and the Metro Arena in Newcastle, the first event will take place on 19thMarch at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, covering around 25 Andrew Pages branches in the West Midlands, East Anglia and Eastern regions.
Designed for garage technicians and apprentices, the shows help them to stay up to date with the latest developments in everything from tools, components and parts through to diagnostics and training. The events also include fun activities such as racing simulators and a pit stop challenge. New for 2015 is the wheel of fortune, giving attendees the chance to spin to win prizes varying from Grand Prix and BTCC tickets, to holiday vouchers, HD TVs and more.
Expanding on previous events, the Stoneleigh show will feature an enhanced equipment showcase, with larger exhibits including scissor lifts and tyre change balancers.
Throughout the day there will be technical seminars conducted by Andrew Page’s in house experts, as well as WhoCanFixMyCar.com and LuK. The seminars will provide attendees with unique insights into the aftermarket, along with technical hints and tips on how to work on today’s technically complex vehicles. Seminars at the Stoneleigh show include; common rail diesel pressure system faults, using fuel trims as an aid in the diagnostic process, successful EGR sensor diagnostics, and SCR: what is it?.
The Stoneleigh Park event on 19thMarch will also see the first in a series of nine regional events for the UCCC network. The regional events will take place throughout 2015, and are designed to give members of the UCCC network the chance to familiarise themselves with services and products now available to them through the relationship with Andrew Page.
“Following on from our collaboration with Unipart Group last year, this is a great platform to showcase the partnership, while also engaging with Unipart Car Care Centres and demonstrating the KiS garage management system,” said Annalize Davy, Marketing Manager at Andrew Page. “With a car up for grabs and exclusive offers at each event, there’s plenty for the attendees to get their hands on.”
