Entries deadline countdown for Top Garage and Top Apprentice

28 April 2025  

The deadline to enter this year’s prestigious Top Garage and Top Apprentice competitions is just four weeks’ away — so sign up now to put your expertise and skills to the test.

Entries must be in by midnight on May 30, so don’t delay!

Top Garage, now in its seventh year, is designed to highlight the UK’s best garages, reward their efforts and help develop and add value to the independent garage network while championing their success, however big or small!

Over the last few years, Top Garage has grown from strength to strength, with the recent addition of awards for the Top Service Advisor, Ben Workplace Health & Wellbeing categories, plus Mobile Mechanic — dedicating to rewarding the increasing number of technicians who work ‘on the road’ and on call for homes and businesses.

Top Apprentice, launched just this year, brings a fresh focus to the rising stars of the garage sector.

This exciting new initiative recognises and celebrates the exceptional skills, talent, and dedication of apprentices who are driving the future of the automotive industry.

From showcasing cutting-edge technical expertise to demonstrating outstanding problem-solving abilities, Top Apprentice sets the stage for young professionals to shine. This is your chance to be recognised among the new generation of technicians making their mark in a competitive and dynamic field.

The winners and runners-up of all competitions, including Top Technician, for which the entry deadline expires at midnight tonight (April 28), will be announced on Saturday November 15, during a glittering awards gala dinner at the DoubleTree by Hilton Coventry.

With a total cache of prizes worth around £40,000 up for grabs — including tools, training, cash, and more — the competitions are a unique opportunity to celebrate the automotive industry’s finest.
