ADAS and Alignment Enter the workshop area of our stand to hear from the product specialists who will be giving a live demo on an ADAS machine.

As of July 2022, ADAS systems are mandatory in all new vehicles, marking a pivotal shift in the automotive industry. With The IMI forecasting that 44% of cars on UK roads will incorporate Level 2 ADAS by 2030, the demand for skilled technicians is escalating. Surprisingly, there is already a 6,000 technician shortfall today, and projections indicate a staggering estimated deficit of 51,000 technicians by 2030.

We have the capability to provide the necessary training and equipment to upskill your customers into fully certified ADAS Specialists to help close the gap.

Training Within the Support Hub, you’ll find our Training Team, talking all things LKQ Academy. Highlighting the memberships on offer, offering sales tips and providing a swift demonstration of the LKQ Academy platform.
