Fix Auto Basingstoke is developing a dedicated van and LCV repair centre to sit alongside its existing bodyshop.
The new 15,000 sqft site, which includes twin oversized spraybooths, large four-poster lifts and supporting equipment, is expected to operational by the middle of the month.
It will employ six technicians initially, with plans to double the workforce as the site grows.
Owner Dale Morris said, “After what seems like an age since we came up with the notion to open a dedicated van and LCV repair centre we’re finally here and I couldn’t be happier.
“Choosing the right building to suit our needs has been critical to our plans. Access and security to the site was paramount as was the need to develop a layout which enables a seamless and efficient in/out layout. This site gives us that and more.”
Ian Pugh, Managing Director for Fix Auto UK, said: “While many of our repairers have the ability to process damaged LCVs, developing a repair centre solely dedicated to them is yet another first for Fix Auto UK and you really must give credit to Dale and his team.”
