Top Garage finalists announced as Top Awards 2025 reaches final stages

The race to be crowned the UK’s Top Garage has entered its final stage, with the Top Awards today confirming its 2025 Top Garage finalists.

Following a demanding series of online qualifying rounds, these exceptional businesses have proven their professionalism, operational excellence, and dedication to customer care.

It comes hot on the heels of this week’s Top Technician finalist announcement, with Top Apprentice finalists due be named next week.

“This year’s entries have been outstanding,” said Ryan Fuller, Managing Director at the Top Awards. “The standard of skill, organisation, and innovation has been truly impressive. These finalists represent the UK’s very best garage businesses, and we wish them every success as they prepare to face the judges next month.”

The finalists will now advance to the grand finals at Delphi Academy, Warwick, one of Europe’s most advanced automotive training centres, on Saturday 15^th November. There, garage owners and managers will showcase their businesses before a panel of expert judges, undergoing in-depth interviews and challenging assessments designed to identify the very best in the trade.

There are six Top Garage categories in total, allowing garage businesses of every size to compete on an equal footing. The competition celebrates excellence across the full spectrum, from mobile technicians and small workshops, through to medium-sized garages and large, multi-site operations.

Alongside these core categories, Top Garage also recognises the people and workplace cultures that drive success through the BEN Workplace Health & Wellbeing Award and the Service Advisor category, celebrating exceptional commitment to staff welfare and customer service.

“Being named a Top Garage finalist is about more than recognition, it’s a chance to benchmark your business, gain valuable feedback from industry experts, and take your operations to the next level,” added Ryan. “These awards continue to inspire and raise standards across the industry, proving what can be achieved through dedication, skill, and a passion for excellence.”

The Top Garage winners will be unveiled later that evening during a prestigious awards ceremony at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Coventry, where they’ll be celebrated alongside the champions of Top Technician and Top Apprentice.

The event marks the grand finale of the 2025 Top Awards, bringing together the UK’s leading technicians, garages, and apprentices for an unforgettable evening of recognition, networking, and celebration.

The night will open with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course dinner and the eagerly anticipated awards presentations. Tickets are available to book online here: Top Technician & Top Garage Awards Evening 2025 Tickets, Sat 15 Nov 2025 at 18:15 | Eventbrite.
