Finalist BIG Awards-2025

We are thrilled to announce that New Again has been named a finalist in the Specialist Garage of the Year category at the prestigious British Independent Garage Awards (BIG Awards).

This recognition is a proud moment for our team, as we continue to set the standard for excellence in the automotive repair industry.

What are the BIG Awards?

The British Independent Garage Awards, organized by the Independent Garage Association (IGA), celebrate the very best in the UK’s independent garage sector. The awards highlight outstanding achievements in areas such as customer service, technical expertise, and innovation. They are an important opportunity to recognize garages that stand out for their high-quality services and commitment to advancing the industry.

The Specialist Garage of the Year category is highly competitive, and we are honoured to be one of the final seven contenders. This recognition comes as a result of our unique range of services, which include water leak detection and drying, convertible hood cleaning with long-lasting coatings, and pre-lease inspections. These services are designed to solve specific problems for our customers, and being named a finalist affirms our dedication to offering specialized, high-quality solutions.

A Visit from the Judges

As part of the judging process, a representative from the BIG Awards panel visited New Again on August 7th to assess our services and evaluate how we deliver the very best in customer satisfaction and technical expertise. The judge’s visit was a significant milestone in the awards process and an opportunity to showcase our team’s hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to the highest standards.

What This Means for New Again

Being selected as a finalist is a huge achievement for our team. It reinforces our ongoing mission to be the leading specialists in automotive repair and restoration, always going above and beyond for our customers. From identifying the source of complex water leaks to making convertible hoods look brand new, we pride ourselves on delivering services that make a tangible difference.

Gary Wray, the founder of New Again, said, “This recognition is a testament to the exceptional work our team does every day. We’re proud of the difference we make for our customers and thrilled to be recognized among the top specialists in the industry. We’re excited about the next steps in the competition!”

Looking Ahead

The BIG Awards will culminate in a ceremony later this year, where the winners will be announced. Regardless of the outcome, being named a finalist is a tremendous honour for New Again, and we remain committed to continuing to elevate the standards of car restoration and repair.
