Schaeffler and ALLDATA announced a partnership in 2023, when it was revealed that REPXPERT UK members could sign-up and access OEM repair data for 44 vehicle manufacturers (VMs) via the REPXPERT web portal.
This collaboration extended to an invite to Schaeffler’s debut REPXPERT Conference in 2024. Two years later, ALLDATA has been asked to return and highlight its solutions and OEM data offering to visitors inside the TechZone. There, they will be able to access ALLDATA’s demonstration portals and speak directly to the team.
ALLDATA now includes Maintenance Schedules, its latest product integration alongside Repair and Labour Times. Maintenance Schedules offers direct access to original service plans and data from 61 VMs. It identifies the work required at specific mileage or time intervals in line with manufacturers’ schedules, then generates a complete, manufacturer-specific maintenance plan. This includes core and additional service tasks, replacement intervals for wear parts and any special notes for different systems.
This enables workshops to plan jobs more efficiently, reduce guesswork and ensure servicing is completed in line with manufacturer standards.
Schaeffler and ALLDATA aligned on event importance
Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Conference has become a staple in the automotive aftermarket event calendar, and after the success of 2024, the OEM is confident of delivering a bigger and better event. It will be packed with valuable business and technical insights that delegates can implement in their own businesses – aligning with ALLDATA’s own event philosophy, both in terms of content and engagement, which play a pivotal role in its annual schedule.
What’s happening at the REPXPERT Conference?
With the REPXPERT theme of ‘By Experts. For Experts’ running throughout the event, Schaeffler has curated a day of networking and learning for independent workshops.
Keynote speeches from Jon Douglass and Fuzz Townsend will lead proceedings, before a dynamic forum featuring workshop owners takes centre stage. After lunch, visitors will split into groups to enter the ‘TechZone’ – featuring an exhibition from garage service providers, including ALLDATA. There will also be four breakout sessions, ranging from the importance of investing in the future and being provided with industry updates to a comprehensive guide to fleet work – there is something for everyone!
Ultimately, Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Conference is designed to inspire and educate both workshop owners and technicians. Schaeffler is confident its lineup will motivate delegates and strengthen their technical and entrepreneurial acumen.
ALLDATA excited to play its part
ALLDATA UK Sales Director, Damian Milling, said: “Following the success of Schaeffler’s first REPXPERT Conference two years ago, we’re thrilled to be invited back and update visitors about our package of OEM repair data, maintenance schedules and labour times, and explain why accurate technical information is more important than ever.”
A separate ALLDATA team will be present at Mechanex Harrogate, which also takes place on 14 May.
