Round one for Top Technician and Top Garage 2021 have both now closed. Those who entered both competitions for 2021, and make it through, will pass through to the second rounds.

For Top Technician, this means a second online round, which will be more challenging than the last. This is then followed by a third online round, and then the live semi-finals in September. For Top Garage, businesses in the running move into the next phase, where they face mystery shopping and more from the judges.

The live finals for both competitions will be held on Saturday 9 October. This is itself followed that evening by the Top Technician and Top Garage Awards Evening, which is taking place at the Jurys Inn Milton Keynes.

Make sure you keep an eye on www.aftermarketonline.net and as well as Aftermarket magazine and Aftermarket’s fortnightly newsletter for updates.
