As vehicle technology advances, repair shops face increasing demands for specialized expertise and technical support. In response, Elring - Das Original is unveiling enhancements to its Elring Garage platform at Automechanika 2026, aiming to equip workshops with the knowledge and tools needed for modern repairs. The initiative, themed “Preferred Partner. Original Quality. Expert Service.,” underscores Elring's commitment to supporting trade partners as mobility evolves.
Elring's comprehensive approach includes high-quality sealing solutions and extensive OE expertise, combined with training, technical support, and direct access to specialist knowledge through Elring Garage. This platform is designed to help repair shops confidently work with new technologies, streamline processes, and enhance their long-term competitiveness. Dirk Willers, Chief Sales Officer at ElringKlinger, emphasizes that being a trusted partner involves more than supplying parts, aligning with the SHAPE30 Group strategy to shape the future of mobility collaboratively.
Elring Garage serves as a central hub for technical information, services, training courses, webinars, and practical videos. It addresses the growing need for technical support and hands-on knowledge, enabling efficient diagnostics and repairs while expanding workshop capabilities. The platform also fosters an international network, connecting professionals through digital and face-to-face formats to share knowledge and experience. Highlights include the Elring Academy, TechTalks, roadshows, and a service hotline, complemented by the Sealant Advisor and community opportunities.
A notable addition is the English-language video podcast “Elring Garage FM - Facts & Myths,” where technical trainers and product experts discuss engine technology and workshop practices, distinguishing facts from myths. This podcast, available on major platforms, delivers in-depth insights globally. Georges Mourad, Vice President Aftermarket at ElringKlinger, notes that high-quality repairs require both the right products and technical knowledge, which Elring Garage provides.
At Automechanika, Elring is also showcasing product innovations for engine and powertrain repairs, including oil pans, valve covers, oil filter housings, oil separators, and specialized tools. The range features cylinder-head gaskets designed for post-machining applications and expansions for alternative powertrains, such as gaskets for electric drive units and solutions for battery and high-voltage systems. Additionally, the LiqRep portfolio is growing, offering economical and sustainable repair solutions for plastic and metal components, reducing costs and supporting resource efficiency.
