The AM Awards 2026 shortlist has been announced, with Auto Data Solutions (ADS) named as a finalist in the Best New Product or Service (Supplier category), in partnership with MyCarNeedsA.com.
The nomination recognises Roadsafe MOT & Recall Reminder – a solution designed to address a long-standing challenge in the industry: how to bring customers back into the franchised dealer network in a way that is both relevant and trusted.
By combining MOT due dates with outstanding safety recall data, the solution creates a far more compelling reason for customers to return – turning lost customers into booked workshop activity, while ensuring critical safety recalls are actually completed.
It tackles two persistent issues: low engagement with traditional MOT reminders and the high volume of unfulfilled safety recalls. Bringing these together in a single, well-timed communication changes both the message and the outcome.
The AM Awards are among the most established events in the UK motor retail calendar, recognising innovation, performance and excellence across the industry. Following a competitive judging process, winners will be announced at the AM Awards gala dinner on 14 May 2026 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel, London.
This is a great example of how combining the right data with the right timing can drive meaningful customer engagement and real workshop activity.
