GROUPAUTO Russia has finished ‘The Best Garage of 2023’ contest and awarded the winners with a brand-new car. ‘The Best Garage of the Year’ is the largest professional competition for garages. All Russian garages and employees of non-dealer segment services can participate. The sixth season of the competition ended in August; across this period, thousands of garages have tested themselves in the competition, and many have achieved great success.
This year, for the first time a car was the main prize: it was a special award for ‘The Best Garage’ nomination. More than 300 semi-finalists from the regional finals of the competition arrived in Moscow on August 26th to take part in the National Final of the competition.

In 2023, the organizing committee made radical changes by adopting a new quiz format that is now gaining popularity. The quiz was developed by the contest’s expert jury. In this format only real knowledge and experience could help the participants to win. Andrey Akimov, head of the ‘Best Garage’ project: “We have specifically created a quiz to identify the best specialists and garages in Russia.
The format is new, but it is as interesting as possible, and the questions are based closely on situations which garages face in real life almost every day. I am happy that I see among the participants both winners of previous years and many new faces. It means that we are heading in the right direction.”
