Auto3iii Gains Traction with Predictive Maintenance and Tyre Tech Focus
Auto3iii used its presence at Automechanika Birmingham 2025 to demonstrate how artificial intelligence can help workshops turn operational potential into measurable profits. With a fully interactive stand and expert-led discussions, the company’s vehicle health check (eVHC) solution drew high engagement from garage professionals looking to enhance efficiency and transparency.
The company’s next-generation eVHC platform, which integrates AI-trained diagnostics and user-friendly reporting, was a central focus for visitors. Workshops were particularly drawn to its predictive maintenance capabilities, which use mileage and historical trends to pre-empt service needs — a key benefit for customer retention and long-term revenue.
Auto3iii’s team reported record levels of interest at its stand, where demonstrations of the digital platform highlighted how its features support day-to-day workshop efficiency. The software includes real-time tracking of deferred work, gamified user interfaces for customer engagement, and communication tools that standardise service messaging.
Founder Ben Smith described the company’s Automechanika showing as “a huge step forward”, citing a significant uptick in awareness and industry engagement. The company also made a joint appearance on the Castrol stand as part of its role within the Castrol Service Network.
Alongside its product showcase, Auto3iii presented at the event’s Aftermarket Hub, delivering a session titled ‘Raising Awareness on Tyre Safety Through the Use of Technology’. The presentation reinforced the platform’s relevance in promoting regular tyre checks and preventive maintenance — key talking points for fleet operators and independent garages alike.
This focus on tyre safety aligns with ongoing sector-wide calls for greater roadworthiness and digital engagement tools that can alert drivers to tyre-related issues before they escalate.
The eVHC platform’s functionality is powered by an AI model trained on over 250 million vehicle part images, capturing insights from more than 9,000 workshops and 100,000 daily checks. This data backbone enables intelligent, image-based diagnostics, giving garages an edge in both customer service and operational consistency.
The customisable nature of the platform ensures it can be tailored to the specific needs of workshops across the UK aftermarket, supporting both independent garages and large networks.
Auto3iii’s Automechanika presence reflects the growing demand for smart workshop tools that blend AI diagnostics with customer-focused design. With a strong emphasis on predictive maintenance and tyre safety, the platform exemplifies how digital technologies can address both revenue loss and customer retention, a priority as the sector shifts towards more data-driven vehicle service models.
