Servicesure has recognised the UK’s highest-performing independent garages at its annual awards at the Concorde Centre in Manchester.
Bringing together garage owners, supplier partners and industry leaders, the event celebrated excellence across key areas of the modern aftermarket, including customer service, electric vehicle capability, fleet servicing and regional performance.
The awards aim to underline the continued evolution of the independent sector, as garages invest in new technologies, expand fleet relationships and raise operational standards to meet changing vehicle parc demands.
This year, Ashwell Motors was named Best Overall Garage, after all regional winners were considered for the title.
2026 award winners:
- Customer Service Award: EAC Telford
- EV Garage of the Year: EAC Telford

The introduction of the Fleet Garage of the Year category for 2026 reportedly reflects the growing importance of fleet work within the independent sector, as more garages develop the capability to support high-volume and commercial clients.
Entries were assessed by a judging panel comprising senior representatives from GSF Car Parts and Dingbro, alongside independent industry experts.
Adam O’Neill, Partnership Director at GSF Car Parts, said: “The quality of entries reflects the level of investment and professionalism we’re seeing across the Servicesure network.
“These awards recognise businesses that are not only performing at a high level today, but are actively adapting to the future of the aftermarket, whether that’s EV capability, fleet servicing or consistently delivering high standards for customers.”
