The search for Motor Codes’ Golden Garage is hotting up and CAT’s 2010 Garage of the Year, ABP Motorsport, still has everything to play for.
The Crewe-based independent, owned by Chris Meredith, has made it to the top 10 list and will now face a panel of judges and a site visit by the RAC, along with 9 other finalists.
The 10 regional winners, who will each bag prizes worth £1000, are:
A1 Motorcare – Cardiff, Wales
- ABP Motorsport – Crewe, North West
- Anglo Continental Cars – Milton Keynes, Midlands
- Arnold Clark Renault – Paisley, Scotland
- Clive Woolford Motors – Tewkesbury, South West
- Fred Henderson – Durham, North East
- Kinghams – Croydon, South East & London
- Kings of Witcham – Ely, East
- Prestige Services – Wakefield, Yorkshire
- SERE Motors – Lisburn, Northern Ireland
But only one can be crowned Golden Garage, a title which comes with an enticing prize pot worth £5000.
Over 8000 motorists voted online for their favourite local garage in the month-long contest.
Not this time for ABP unfortunately.
I’m led to believe that we finished in the top three Garages in the UK with three of the six judges awarding ABP top marks but Kinghams of Croydon taking the win. It appears they scored consistently from all six judges.
Congratulations to them and we’ll be back next year for the CAT award!

Well we’ve had our RAC mystery shop / inspection and all went to plan with an excellent report from the inspector…..
So it’s all down to the judging panel now! Fingers & toes crossed by all the staff here at ABP!
