With Automechanika Birmingham now just two weeks away, the shortlist for the Automechanika Birmingham 2025 Garage Awards, organised by the IAAF and headline sponsored by LKQ Euro Car Parts, has been announced.
The Garage Awards shine a light on the UK’s most dedicated, skilled and forward-thinking garages and individuals, recognising those who go the extra mile to keep motorists on the road. The ceremony will return to the Gallery Restaurant at the NEC Birmingham on 4 June 2025, following the second day of Automechanika Birmingham.
“Each year, these awards give us a chance to recognise the unsung heroes of the aftermarket, the technicians and garage businesses that are keeping motorists, family and businesses moving,” commented Mark Field, IAAF Chief Executive. “The quality of entries has once again been exceptional, and we look forward to celebrating their success on the night of the Automechanika Birmingham Garage Awards.”
