Big news out of the US this week. #RighttoRepair Auto Care Association Judge ensures that car owners have the right to access their vehicle's repair and diagnostic data, empowering them to make informed choices about maintenance and repairs. It levels the playing field, allowing independent repair shops to compete fairly, which in turn drives down costs for consumers. Thank you to Richard Welland for representing UK and IAAF in Global Right to Repair meetings. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyqKKFE2 #automotive #supportaftermarket

At the Delphi Academy, we’re all about inspiring and developing the next generation of automotive professionals… That’s why we’re proud to support National Apprenticeship Week 2025, championing the vital role apprentices play in shaping the future of our industry. So far this year, we’ve already welcomed groups of aspiring technicians to our world-class Academy in Warwick, hosting college enrichment days and technical master classes designed to expand their knowledge, enhance their skills, and introduce them to the wider automotive industry. We’re also thrilled to be sponsoring the 2025 IMI Awards Category ‘Apprentice of the Year’, recognising the dedication, passion, and talent of those making an impact in the industry as role models. If that’s not enough, for the first time this year, we’re honoured to be hosting the IMI World Skills heats for Heavy and Light goods vehicles in May 2025, where we’ll see the some of the worlds top future talent pass through our workshop! Truly exciting times. (There’s even more coming up I just can’t announce it yet!!) To all apprentices – your journey is just beginning, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!
