NATIONAL garage programme Servicesure has announced the finalists for its biggest ever Autocentre of the Year Awards.

Thirty Servicesure members are in with a chance of winning the acclaimed Autocentre of the Year and EVSure Garage of the Year accolade. The prize is the highest honour at Servicesure’s annual awards event, which celebrates the best and brightest of Servicesure’s network of more than 600 members.

The awards comprise 18 categories that showcase the hard work, best-in-class customer service and innovation that Servicesure members across the UK are renowned for. The 2023 event will be the biggest the team has delivered to date, with finalists also getting access to an exclusive trade event with leading OE suppliers.

GSF Car Parts Head of Servicesure Paul Dineen said: “This is our sixth Servicesure Autocentre of the Year Awards and we’re incredibly excited to be taking it to the next level with more awards and more finalists than ever before.

“The support of our supplier partners and sponsors has also enabled us to use this event to offer extra value to attendees with our intimate afternoon trade event, which is another useful opportunity to network with the leaders of our industry.”

The awards ceremony, which is headline sponsored by Comma and Delphi, will take place on Thursday 12 October at Coombe Abbey in Coventry, with finalists, representatives from GSF Car Parts, award sponsors and industry bodies in attendance.

During the event, the Servicesure team will also be collecting donations for the Ben automotive industry charity.

Paul continued: “Every year we’re blown away by the calibre of entrants into the awards and this year our independent judging panel faced some incredibly tough decisions.
