Many challenges included unexpected complications to test both technical knowledge and diagnostic process, all under the pressure of a 20-minute time limit. Third-time semi-finalist James Leach said: “The competition shows me areas where I need to work harder or think differently. That’s the real value. It gives you a benchmark for your knowledge, highlights where you can develop, and pushes you to keep progressing as a technician.” Top Technician finalist, John Fountain, owner of Fountain’s Garage, has been entering Top Technician since 2016. He said: “The semi-finals are stressful, but they’re a benchmark of quality. “You need to look at what’s in front of you, take a deep breath, and go back to basics. It’s a real opportunity to push yourself, and your business.” John Hall, owner of John Hall Auto Electrician, has taken part in six Top Technician events, including both semi-finals and finals, and last year he also won Top Garage, showcasing his expertise both as a technician and a business leader. “Follow the process, and you’ll get to the end,” he said. “Top Technician isn’t about tripping you up, it’s about testing real-world skills and raising standards across the industry. Whether you win or not, being a finalist is a badge of achievement and a chance to push yourself further.” “These technicians are among the very best in the industry,” said Top Technician head judge Ian Gillgrass, pictured second from right Top Technician Finalists 2025 Matthew Deakin, Four Cross Garage John Fountain, owner of Fountain’s Garage John Hall, John Hall Auto Electrician David Weston, Kia UK Ltd Kristopher Williams, Fords of Winsford
