ZF Aftermarket brought its digital workshop solutions to AAG EXPO 2026, showing how independent garages can improve efficiency, strengthen customer communication and keep pace with increasingly complex vehicle technology.
Held at Exhibition Centre Liverpool on 5–6 November, the event provided an opportunity for ZF Aftermarket’s UK team to meet trading group members and garage professionals and discuss the tools, training and technical support available to their businesses.
A key focus was ZF [pro]Manager, the company’s digital platform designed to simplify communication between workshops and their customers. By helping garages manage customer interactions more effectively, it supports smoother workshop processes and a better customer experience.
Alongside this, ZF showcased ZF MultiScan, its multi-brand diagnostic solution for passenger car and commercial vehicle workshops. With advanced diagnostic functions and secure gateway access for supported vehicles, MultiScan helps technicians identify faults and access protected vehicle systems, supporting efficient diagnosis and repair.
Visitors could also explore ZF [pro]Tech, the manufacturer-backed workshop programme providing technical training, installation guidance and access to vehicle-specific service information. The programme helps independent workshops develop the knowledge and confidence needed to maintain and repair an evolving vehicle parc.
Cyril Daly, Head of Sales, Passenger Car at ZF Aftermarket UK, said: “Independent workshops are balancing increasingly complex repairs with the everyday demands of running a business. Having the right diagnostic tools, clear customer communication and reliable technical support can make a real difference.
“AAG EXPO provided a valuable opportunity to meet members and garage professionals face-to-face and discuss how ZF’s digital solutions and workshop support can help them in their day-to-day work. Our focus is on giving independent garages practical support to manage today’s repairs while developing the capabilities they need for the future.”
