GSF Car Parts has concluded its final TechFest of 2025 with a record turnout, welcoming over 5,000 industry professionals, 80 leading suppliers, and special guests to Wembley in London.

Designed to deliver opportunities for independent garages and a festival atmosphere, visitors enjoyed exclusive on-the-night deals, networking with top industry voices and a packed TechTalks programme. As the TechFest signature touch, free award-winning food and drinks, a £50 business voucher, and thousands of pounds’ worth of competition prizes and giveaways topped off free entry and free parking.

Lively atmosphere

The event provided a lively atmosphere, with a mix of trade and consumer elements. The location, an undercover car park alongside Wembley Stadium, added a nice feel to proceedings, with music, competitions and more taking place, alongside dedicated technical talks.

Together with the array of aftermarket products from GSF Car Parts suppliers, there were also a number of modified, classic, and supercars. Technicians brought their families to experience the show, with something for everyone on the night.

“TechFest has just been the best!” Kaden Camilleri from Highview Garage in North Finchley commented. “Honestly, it is worth it to come here. There is just everything, for business owners, for mechanics and anyone who works on cars. TechFest is the place to go.”

Santhirasegaram Uthayashankar, from High Autos in Willesden, added: “The atmosphere is cracking. There is a lot of suppliers here today and it is really nice to meet them in person, it puts a face behind all the parts that we buy and supply. GSF is doing a great job supporting both their customers and suppliers.”

Planning for Techfest 2026

“TechFest is bridging the gap between garages and suppliers, helping both grow their impact,” said Steve Horne, CEO of GSF Car Parts. “Every detail is designed for the hardworking, independent garages we serve. Planning for TechFest 2026 is already underway.”

Sukhpal Ahluwalia, Executive Chairman at GSF, added: “For us, this event is all about being able to listen to the customers and what their needs are. We have gathered plenty of thoughts, ideas and feedback which we will implement and apply to the business. I am so proud of team GSF for pulling something truly amazing together and leading the way in the aftermarket industry. Bring on 2026!”
