Thinkcar UK accelerates growth with strategic southern appointment

Thinkcar UK has announced the appointment of Garry Phillips as Southern Regional Manager for Automotive Diagnostics and Equipment, as the company continues to strengthen its national support for distributors and garages alike.

With a remit covering the southern region of England and Wales, Garry will work closely with Thinkcar UK’s distributor partners and business development managers, helping them better understand and promote the brand’s growing range of diagnostic tools and workshop equipment. He will also play a key role in introducing Thinkcar UK to new customers across the area.

Garry brings with him more than 30 years of experience in automotive air conditioning and diagnostics, having held senior roles across a number of leading aftermarket businesses.

Throughout his career, he has focused on technical training, education, and the development of industry standards. His work has included creating recognised IMI qualifications and delivering hands-on training programmes across the country.

“Joining Thinkcar UK is an exciting step for me,” said Garry. “The company is bringing genuinely innovative technology to the market, and I’m looking forward to helping distributors and technicians understand the full capabilities of our tools.”

Garry’s experience in heavy-duty diagnostics and advanced HVAC systems makes him a valuable addition to the Thinkcar UK team, particularly as the brand continues to lead in electric vehicle diagnostics, a key area of growth as workshops adapt to future vehicle technologies.

“We’re delighted to welcome Garry to the team,” said Alex Gillbanks, Managing Director of Thinkcar UK. “His technical knowledge, industry connections, and passion for education will make him a fantastic asset to our distribution network in the south.

“He joins at a key time for us as we expand both our team and our product offering to meet growing demand from workshops.”
