British Independent Garage of the Year Award entries open

12 BIG Award categories with independently verified judging process including site audits and mystery shops

British Independent Garage of the Year Award entries open

The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has formed an event to recognise Britain’s best and brightest independent garages and technicians, and bring widespread recognition to the levels of professionalism, skill, passion and innovation in the sector.

The aptly named BIG Awards is the inaugural awards event from the UK’s largest trade body for independent garages, and as such is set to establish a new gold standard in vehicle maintenance and repair.

An IGA spokesperson said: “Local, independent garages have been delivering exceptional levels of service to UK motorists for well over 100 years and the IGA believe it is time independent garages received the recognition they deserve with awards truly created by the industry, for the industry.”

The BIG Awards are open to all independent garages in the UK and will create a platform to recognise garages from the length and breadth of Britain, with categories highlighting all aspects of running a successful, local, independent garage business.

Entrants will be measured against the highest standards, and the judging process will be independently verified including site audits and mystery shops, so shortlisted garages will truly be setting an exemplary standard for the rest of the sector.
