As vehicle technology advances, the demand for specialized expertise and technical support in the automotive repair industry continues to grow. At Automechanika 2026, Elring - Das Original will unveil enhancements to its Elring Garage platform, a central hub for technical information, training, and support. Under the banner “Preferred Partner. Original Quality. Expert Service.,” Elring aims to assist workshops and trade partners in adapting to the evolving mobility sector, offering products, technical know-how, and services tailored to their daily operations.
With the guiding message “We maintain mobility,” Elring will present a comprehensive range of products, technical services, and knowledge-sharing resources for professional repair shops. The company emphasizes high-quality sealing solutions and extensive original equipment (OE) expertise, but also highlights Elring Garage as a key resource for training, technical support, and direct access to specialist knowledge. This approach helps repair shops work confidently with new technologies, streamline repair processes, and enhance their long-term competitiveness.
“As a trusted partner to repair shops and distributors, we aim to provide far more than high-quality replacement parts,” said Dirk Willers, ElringKlinger’s Chief Sales Officer (CSO), whose responsibilities include the Aftermarket business for the “Elring - Das Original” brand. “Building on our broad product portfolio, technical services, and Elring Garage, we help workshop professionals successfully navigate the challenges of a changing mobility landscape. Shaping the future of mobility together with our customers is a key pillar of our SHAPE30 Group strategy.”
Elring Garage consolidates technical information, services, training courses, webinars, TechTalks, digital learning resources, and practical videos onto a single platform. Developed in response to strong demand for greater technical support and hands-on knowledge, Elring Garage enables repair shops to handle diagnostic, maintenance, and repair work efficiently while continuously expanding their capabilities. The enhanced platform provides quick access to relevant technical information, application guidance, and practical support, helping professionals complete repairs more quickly and safely, work confidently with new vehicle technologies, and broaden their technical expertise.
Beyond its digital resources, Elring Garage is evolving into an international network that connects workshop professionals, engine specialists, and automotive technology enthusiasts. Both digital and face-to-face formats allow participants to interact with peers worldwide, build relationships, and share knowledge and practical experience. The portfolio includes technical articles, service information, exploded-view drawings, the Elring Academy, hands-on training, webinars, TechTalks, roadshows, a service hotline, the Sealant Advisor, and various community and networking opportunities.
A notable highlight is the new English-language video podcast “Elring Garage FM - Facts & Myths.” The podcast brings together technical trainers and product experts to discuss current issues in engine technology and workshop practice, explaining underlying technical principles, assessing industry trends, and distinguishing established facts from persistent myths. Available on major podcast platforms, the series delivers in-depth technical insights to a global audience.
By continuing to develop Elring Garage, Elring aims to support repair shops not only with products but also with specialist knowledge and technical assistance. “High-quality repairs depend on having the right products and the necessary technical knowledge,” said Georges Mourad, Vice President Aftermarket at ElringKlinger AG. “Elring Garage brings together technical expertise, professional development, and international knowledge-sharing to support workshops as they adapt to technological change.”
Alongside Elring Garage, Elring is showcasing a wide range of product innovations for professional engine and powertrain repairs at Automechanika. Highlights include new components for engine and transmission applications, such as oil pans, valve covers, oil filter housings, oil separators, and specialist tools. The range also features cylinder-head gaskets developed specifically for use after cylinder head or engine block machining, ensuring reliable seals post-repair. Elring is steadily expanding its portfolio for alternative powertrain technologies, including gaskets for electric drive units (EDUs), shaft seals for electric drives, and solutions for battery, inverter, and high-voltage applications.
With the further expansion of its LiqRep portfolio, Elring is strengthening its range of solutions for economical and sustainable repairs. Designed for plastic and metal components, these solutions support resource-efficient repairs and help lower associated costs.
Elring will be present at Automechanika 2026 in Hall 4.0, Booth C12.
