Organisers expect a swift bounce back to regular numbers, which just goes to show how resilient and important trade fairs are for business growth.
Calling Card
Automechanika Johannesburg delivers all you need to know about advancements in automotive technology, creates great business opportunities and is a powerful information platform.

Automechanika Johannesburg is the best possible business platform for exhibitors as they meet with top buyers from around the world. The format of the event is excellent for launching new products and hosting demonstrations. Exhibitors benefit from a robust networking platform as well as a series of seminars on all the finer points of the automotive industry today.
Business Potential
Automechanika Johannesburg might be newer in comparison to its Automechanika sister events, but that doesn’t mean it’s not on the same level. The trade fair has everything that a buyer might need in one place. The exhibition halls showcase and demonstrate everything from automotive parts, car wash, workshop, and service station equipment to IT products, car accessories, tuning, vehicle safety, assistance systems, lighting, accident repairs. Brands you might recognize include Everstar, MCV, Serco, Tata, UD Trucks, Volvo and Trysome Auto Electrical. You can easily say that Automechanika Johannesburg is home to the entire automotive community. Exhibitors are in prime position to establish contacts with retailers, franchises, car repair shops, service stations, car trading, public authorities, fleet management, car manufacturing, garage equipment and tools, dealerships and universities.

My dear Michelle,
Glad to hear from you :-)
Thank you very much for the document, it is perfect.
I have already filled in the table with the names of the guests - see below
Breakfast is included and parking is OK too, I read the note in your offer Parking: Public parking is possible on site (reservation is not needed, surcharge).
It seems we have everything sorted out :-)
Dear Michelle, you have made my accommodation task very easy for me, thank you for your service and your great attitude, as soon as I have anything else to deal with again I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a wonderful time

Hi, My name is Phillip from the Medit Company. We have been long working with Travel2Fairs Company for Hotels&Meeting rooms and Megan was always willing to assist us. We had gone through lots of changes in schedules and number of rooms and sometimes I felt sorry for Megan for requesting many times but she always tried hard to meet our needs. Also, Travel2Fairs deals with the customer's request in a very prompt timely manner. I always appreciate your service Megan from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a great day and would love to do business with you in the near future. Thank you!

Hi Tom,
We always stay at Hotel Rubin and really like it. In addition to being very central, it has everything we need for a work trip.

This was a very nice hotel and would consider staying again in the future. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were adequate and clean. The hotel is located near the subway station as well as the larger metro station at the Duomo. It was easy to get to the station and get around the city when necessary.

Dear Tom,
As the operating and marketing manager of our new office abroad, sometimes one just doesn`t have enough time to take care of small details that come back to haunt you at the very last minute. Even though, I was not familiar with your company before and I had never worked with an external company either, you remained reassuring and have kept your word. Within a very limited time frame and with only a few emails you were able to put me and 10 of my colleagues in a good hotel, with excellent service and near the city center... I have already send you the dates and locations of our next fairs! It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again.
