First held in Türkiye in 2001, Automechanika Istanbul hosts the largest international participation in its history, with 1,450 exhibitors from 37 countries, 15 national pavilions, and a 55% international exhibitor rate. As the flagship trade fair of Türkiye’s export-driven automotive aftermarket sector, Automechanika Istanbul 2025 will continue to shape the future of the industry. This year’s event is supported by renowned companies such as ZF, MAHLE, Yanmar, eBay and Bakirci Garagineering.

The event will feature a comprehensive range of products and services covering every aspect of the automotive aftermarket, including Parts & Components, Diagnostics & Repair, Accessories & Customization, Electronics & Lighting, Car Wash & Care, Dealership & Workshop Management, Alternative Drive Systems & Fuels, and Lubricants. 

Notably, this year’s focus expands beyond products. Visitors can explore a robust programme of conferences, workshops, and live demonstrations tackling key themes like electric mobility, sustainability, and the digital transformation of the aftermarket. The Innovation 4 Mobility by BAKIRCI showcase and the Automechanika Academy area offer immersive glimpses into what’s next for automotive services, think predictive maintenance, smart diagnostics, and next-gen workshop solutions. The Sustainable Mobility Initiative (SMI), a think tank providing innovative solutions for urban mobility, and Automechanika Istanbul 2025 E-commerce Sponsor eBay hosts dedicated sessions as part of the Academy.

Visitors looking to enjoy engaging and inspiring displays alongside business find the "Premium Event Arena" in Hall 12A. This special area showcase innovative vehicles developed by university students across Türkiye, alongside heritage cars restored by professionals and high-performance racing cars.

With three more days of learning, networking, and discovery ahead, Automechanika Istanbul 2025 promises to be more than a trade show—it’s more like a pulse check for an industry on the move.
