Winning a garage industry award takes more than a good year. The organisations behind these awards scrutinise everything – customer feedback, technical standards, business practices, staff development, and the overall quality of the customer experience. Being recognised once is an achievement; being recognised consistently, across multiple awarding bodies, over multiple years, says something more meaningful about how a garage actually operates.
Since 2021, CCM has accumulated an exceptional record of recognition across the most respected award programmes in the independent garage sector. From regional prestige awards to national multi-site titles, the pattern is one of sustained excellence rather than a single standout moment, and we think that’s a distinction worth noting. These awards are peer and industry-judged, which means the people assessing CCM are the people who understand the industry best.
For customers, this record offers straightforward reassurance: CCM is not just well regarded by the people who use it, but by the wider industry that sets the standards for what good looks like.
The Top Garage Awards are one of the independent sector's most respected and longest-running recognition programmes, drawing entries from across the UK and judged against a broad and demanding set of criteria.
Top Garage Finalist — 2021
Top Garage Finalist — 2022
Top Garage Finalist — 2023
Top Service Advisor Finalist — 2023
Multi-Site Winner — 2024
Top Garage Winner — 2025
Few garages can point to a record like this across the Top Garage Awards. Three consecutive years as a finalist preceded back-to-back wins in 2024 and 2025 - in two different categories - demonstrating both the breadth and the consistency of what we deliver at CCM. We are especially proud of the Top Service Advisor finalist recognition in 2023 because it recognises the quality of the customer-facing experience, not just the technical work carried out in the workshop.
Automechanika is one of the most significant trade events in the automotive aftermarket calendar. Its UK awards programme recognises the best independent garages in the country across a range of categories, judged by industry professionals against rigorous criteria.
Best Multi-Site Garage of the Year — 2023
Best Multi-Site Garage of the Year — 2024
Back-to-back wins in the multi-site category is a rare achievement, and reflects the consistency CCM maintains across its three sites in Cranleigh, Gatwick, and Ewhurst. Winning once demonstrates a high standard; winning again the following year demonstrates that at CCM, it's the norm.
The Independent Garage Association's BIG Awards - Best Independent Garage - are among the most coveted in the sector. Judged specifically within the independent garage world, they reflect what matters most to customers and industry peers alike: quality of work, customer service, business integrity, and technical capability.
Highly Commended — 2022
Winner — 2023
Winner — 2024
Our progression here tells its own story - highly commended in 2022, winner in 2023, and winner again in 2024. Consecutive wins at this level are a genuine mark of distinction, and reflect the standards CCM holds itself to year after year.
The Automotive Management Awards - run by one of the UK's leading automotive trade publications - recognise excellence across the retail and independent automotive sector.
Finalist — 2022
Recognition as a finalist in a national awards programme of this standing places CCM among the leading independent operators in the country.
