Automechanika Dubai is an exhibition of parts, equipment and technology for vehicle servicing. It brings together manufacturers and suppliers, distributors, workshop professionals and fleet operators. Visitors come to discover products, make business contacts and find ideas for their workshops. In 2026, it takes place on 10–12 November at Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City Dubai.
For a workshop owner, the purpose may be practical: choosing equipment or understanding changing repair requirements. A distributor might want to meet manufacturers; a fleet specialist might explore solutions for servicing vehicles and managing their use. Decide what you need from the visit before you go.
What is on show
The organiser divides the exhibition into 11 product sectors. These include parts and components, electrics and electronics, tyres and wheels, accessories, and car washing and care. Connectivity and autonomous driving technology have their own category.
The product groups range from familiar mechanical parts to charging equipment, battery management systems, vehicle electronics and driver assistance systems. It is an opportunity to see how the traditional repair market intersects with newer vehicle types and digital technology.
A list of exhibitors is already available in the 2026 catalogue. Start there if you need a particular brand or product: a short list of relevant companies is more useful than trying to cover every section without a clear aim.
Conferences and learning
The website lists several formats for professionals. Modern Workshop focuses on developing workshops and service centres, while Innovation4Mobility explores the future of mobility. The programme also includes Fleet FWD, covering AI in fleet management and logistics, and LABX, relating to base oils and additive chemistry.
Choose topics relevant to your work and fit them around business meetings. A workshop manager, for example, may find Modern Workshop more useful than a discussion of lubricant supply. Check the organiser's current programme for individual sessions and participation requirements.
The exhibition moves in 2026
After previous editions at Dubai World Trade Centre, Automechanika moves to DEC in Expo City Dubai. This is especially important for returning visitors: the familiar address is no longer the right one.
According to the organiser, the exhibition is for industry professionals, and visitors under 18 are not admitted to the halls. Plan family activities separately, even if your Dubai trip combines work and a holiday.
Planning journeys with colleagues
If you want to leave the hotel together and return after the exhibition, discuss a transfer with Hola Taxi. Specify Automechanika Dubai, DEC, Expo City Dubai, your attendance dates, hotel and passenger numbers. If colleagues have different meetings, decide in advance whether you need one shared departure each day or separate journeys.
Start with the Dubai International Airport (DXB) section for an arrival transfer. Find other professional events in our Dubai events guide, and ideas for time off in the travel guide.
