We have great news!

Over the past six weeks Dean has been knuckling down preparing all of the work for an awards application with the IGA for his client A1 Diagnostics.

We have been informed recently that A1 Diagnostics has been declared a finalist for the award “Marketing Strategy of the Year” in this year’s BIG Awards run by the Independent Garage Association.


Why is this a big deal? The IGA stands for the Independent Garage Association.


They are the most prominent representative body in the independent garage sector. The IGA support independent garages to thrive in every aspect of business offering consultancy. Their expert advice ensures the garage service and repair sector operate to the highest standard in efficiency and competitiveness.

The IGA are in constant communication with the UK Government and global automotive bodies. They stand up for independent garages like A1 Diagnostics and are widely respected for their achievements.

Why have we been selected as a finalist?

Our marketing strategy for A1 Diagnostics has been to grow their independent garage 20% year on year. We have achieved this goal since 2015 especially through challenging times through Brexit, the Covid19 pandemic and not least the energy and cost of living crisis.

We feel we deserve the chance to win the award for “Marketing Strategy of the Year” for a number of reasons, these are outlined below:

• Our investment in digital marketing practice has yielded huge growth in the A1 Diagnostics independent garage.

• We have adopted a strategy to show motorists why A1 Diagnostics are a turn to independent garage using quality photography.

• We have successfully implemented a Google strategy that has yielded thousands of 1st page Google listings.

• We have implemented a Google reviews and Trust Pilot system that shows A1 Diagnostics are a trusted and reliable vehicle service garage.

• We have written quality content being confident in commenting on world motor affairs such as offering our view on the electrical market.

We will know on September 12th 2025 if we come out as winners. However we are super encouraged to receive this nomination.
