Cotswolds-based repairer First Choice Bodyshop has agreed to join the Fix Auto UK network.
The business has taken over an adjoining 5,000 sqft unit which will be redeveloped to operate as Fix Auto Tewkesbury.
Owner Kevin Dunlop said, “I’m extremely proud of what’s been achieved in little under eight years. I started out with a spraygun and a small unit and a couple of jobs to get me going and here I am with a firmly-established, BSI-approved business with eight people on board. But I want far, far more which is why I’ve joined Fix Auto UK.”
He added, “It was ironic that the day I signed my contract my landlord mentioned the unit next door was vacant and available, so I seized my opportunity. The new unit will totally transform our business. Having that extra space and the ability to develop a seamless workflow will enable me to reach our goal of doubling our repair capacity, which is currently at around 50 vehicles per month.”
Ian Pugh, Managing Director of Fix Auto UK, said: “Ambition, drive and commitment; they’re three of the key elements we look for when recruiting a new franchise partner and Kevin has those in abundance.”
