The Independent Garage Association (IGA) has announced a 22% increase in membership during 2025, bringing the association’s community to in excess of 4,500.
This marks a milestone in the organisation’s continued commitment to supporting the independent garage sector.
This growth reportedly reflects the IGA’s dedication to representing and advancing the interests of independent garages across the UK. As the largest representative body in its field, the IGA is built on autonomy, dedication to helping members thrive in a rapidly evolving business landscape, and advocacy for the independent sector at every level.
The IGA continues to provide value through its portfolio of in-house services, including electric and hybrid vehicle expertise, specialist training programmes, tooling and equipment guidance, apprenticeship support and insurance solutions. These resources ensure members are fully equipped to meet the demands of the future automotive market.
From EV readiness and technical training to business development advice and regulatory support, the IGA ensures wherever there is a need for help, guidance, or representation, its members have access to the right support. These initiatives are designed to strengthen members’ businesses in an increasingly competitive and technologically advanced market.
Stuart James, Chief Executive of the IGA, said: |”We are delighted to see such a strong increase in membership, which demonstrates the growing confidence that independent garages place in the IGA. Our continued focus on providing exceptional value and meaningful support to our members remains at the heart of everything we do. The IGA is, and always will be, driven solely by the needs of the independent garage sector, without compromise or external influence.”
