About The Star Awards

Information for businesses to promote the Awards

The 2026 Star Awards return in May!

The Star Awards were introduced to recognise the lengths that individuals, and businesses go to, to consistently provide a high standard of service and workmanship, and the efforts that have been made to keep motorists across the country on the move.

We’ve also introduced Customer Service Star Awards for vehicle manufacturers, extended warranty providers.
