With the entry deadline for Automechanika Garage of the Year coming over the bank holiday weekend, organisers have confirmed all garages entering will be invited to attend the event.
It will take place on 5th June from 7pm, after the middle day of Automechanika Birmingham at the nearby National Motorcycle Museum, making it ideal for visitors either after a second day or ahead of a third day show visit.
This year the number of categories has increased from six to nine.
Garages can enter as many categories as they want via a simple online entry form that takes only minutes to complete.
With days to go and entries continuing to stream through, organisers are expecting to exceed last year’s numbers and have good news for all the garages who’ve taken time to support the competition.
“Last year we were taken by surprise with the level of interest,” said James Onions, director of Garage Wire.
“We squeezed as many people in as we could but this year the National Motorcycle Museum offers us plenty of space to accommodate everyone and we very much hope garages come along.”
All entrants will be contacted and offered places next week. Garages later shortlisted in one or more category will receive two complimentary tickets, otherwise the cost of tickets is £55 each – a subsidised rate thanks to the support of event sponsors.
The Independent Garage Association (IGA) are main sponsors once again whilst Autologic, The Parts Alliance, Delphi Technologies, ZF, Gallagher, Launch UK, EDT Automotive and Techman are all supporting categories.
