The MECHANEX seminar timetable is packed with subjects and servicing tips delivered by experts in their fields all of which are relevant to today’s independent technician.
If you want to be able to service and repair the latest generation of passenger cars, training is simply a MUST! Good quality technical information is therefore the main staple of any technician’s diet.
MECHANEX at Sandown Park will continue to build on the successes of our popular seminar programme, which has been packed throughout 2016. The seminars offer visitors a varied and interesting selection of presentations that cater for all levels of expertise – from beginners to advanced technicians – and you can simply select the ones that are most relevant to your business.
As you will see by our seminar topics, there’s something for everyone, so make sure you take the time to plan your seminar attendance in advance. You couldn’t put a price on the level of technical training available and, what’s more, it’s FREE to those who make the effort to visit MECHANEX.

RMI-IGA – The future of MOT Training
The IGA, part of the Retail Motor Industry, is the largest representative body in the independent garage sector, offering a voice for the industry in legislative and regulatory matters arising in the UK government and in Europe.
It aims to support and encourage independent garages to thrive in all aspects of their business, and provide training to keep them compliant with DVSA regulations. This is especially important in light of the changes the DVSA has introduced to the way in which MOT Testers complete their compulsory training.
To help businesses to better ensure compliance, the presentation – The Future of MOT Training – taking place on both days of MECHANEX Sandown, will talk workshops through the changes to MOT training and the introduction of the annual CPD model.
If you’re serious about the future of your own MOT testing business then we would highly advise that you come along and take a look. Pay the RMI-IGA a visit on Stand C16 and the company’s professional team will be happy to talk through any questions or queries you may have!
