EuroFest 2026: A European Car Show in Tempe with Avants
A recap of EuroFest 2026, the European car show in Tempe co-hosted by Avants on October 10: cars on the shop floor, a DJ, crepes and the raffle.
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, EuroFest turned our shop at 617 S. McClintock Dr. into a European car show in Tempe for the morning. We hosted it, and Avants, the car enthusiast club, co-hosted. From 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. there was coffee and crepes from Honey 2 A Bee, a DJ, a raffle and a lineup of cars parked inside the shop. It was our second event and our first with Avants, and it marked EuroComp Garage joining the club as one of its newest local partners.

A European Car Show in Tempe, Inside the Shop
EuroFest was a morning car meet built around European car culture. Any make or model could come, but the curated display area up front went to Avants members and European cars. Inside, the lineup shared the floor with our two-post lifts, the helmet shelf and the trophy, so visitors saw the cars and the shop that works on them at the same time.
The idea was simple: a relaxed few hours to look at cars, meet other owners and put faces to the names behind the shop.
Cars on the Shop Floor
Two of the cars parked closest to the raffle drawing were a yellow Aston Martin Vantage on silver wheels and a satin-blue McLaren with fluorescent yellow trim on its front splitter. Those are the kinds of cars we're trusted with, but most of what we service every week is the European daily driver: the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Audi A4, the Porsche that gets driven to work. A car show at the shop is a good reminder that both ends of that range share the same lifts and the same technicians.
The EuroFest Raffle: $400 and $200 Prizes
The raffle paid $400 for first place and $200 for second, courtesy of EuroComp Garage. We drew the tickets on the shop floor, from a clear box between the Vantage and the McLaren, with guests looking on. Congratulations to both winners, and thank you to everyone who entered.
