A GARAGE in Ellesmere Port has been voted one of the top 100 most trusted garages in the UK this month in the Motor Codes Garage of the Year competition.

Maple Tyres was nominated by its customers and will now go through to the final stages of the competition in the hope of being crowned ‘Garage of the Year’.

The manager of the Rosscliffe Road garage, Steve Andrews, said: “We are thrilled to have been selected as one of the top 100 garages in the UK and I would like to thank our customers for voting for us.”

The Garage of the Year competition invites customers to vote for outlets that provide dependable service. The results of the competition allow motorists to find the most reliable garages in their area.

There are two categories in the competition, one for smaller garages with fewer than 10 staff and another for larger outlets with more than 10 employees.

Voting is open again and people are invited to choose their favourite garage until Sunday, April 22, from the shortlisted 100 outlets.

The winners will then be subject to judging and the best overall small and large garage will be announced after May 14.

Steve added: “We would be delighted if any of our customers wanted to vote for us in a bid to win the title of ‘Garage of the Year’ in the smaller outlet category.

“Anyone who casts their vote in the competition will be in with a chance of winning a year’s free servicing and tickets to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. To vote, visit www.motorcodes.co.uk.”
