South Eastern Regional College (SERC) Lisburn Campus motor vehicle workshop hosted the MechanExpert Roadshow on Tuesday 17 September, allowing students, staff and visitors to view, discuss and test automotive parts from a range of suppliers.

The Roadshow, which is run by Component Distributors and supported by Network Auto Lisburn, saw more than 60 people from beyond the college register to attend.   

SERC students past and present (including Level 3 and Level 4 apprentices) and Motor Vehicle staff got a preview of the stands, from around a dozen suppliers, before they were joined by local garage owners and technicians. It was a great opportunity for learners to chat to automotive technical experts, hearing about and viewing their latest product range and receiving specialist advice. The event also allowed staff and owners of local businesses to see SERC facilities and to get a sense of what SERC offers students.
