Brothers Dan and Ashley Mustoe have reinforced their commitment to Fix Auto UK by opening their second accident repair centre, Fix Auto Bristol Central. This expansion comes less than a year after they joined the network with Fix Auto Caldicot, demonstrating their rapid growth within the industry.
The newly acquired 5,500 sq ft facility, located in the heart of Bristol, operates within a secure gated compound and features two workshops and office space. Within just a month of taking over the site, the brothers have successfully achieved BS10125 certification, gained Vehicle Manufacturer Approved status for Suzuki, and are currently working towards Stellantis approval.
Ashley Mustoe explained the strategic move: “When we took over the business from our father and joined Fix Auto UK, we had clear ambitions to expand. The opportunity to acquire an established site in Bristol came at the right time, and it perfectly complements our existing Caldicot operation.”
The proximity of the two centres allows for an optimised workflow, with the Bristol team handling light and medium repairs while heavier repairs are triaged to the larger Caldicot site. This streamlined approach is set to enhance efficiency and service levels across both locations.
Dan Mustoe highlighted the role Fix Auto UK has played in their growth: “Joining Fix Auto UK has opened many doors for us. The support and confidence we’ve received have been instrumental in helping us take our business to the next level. Fix Auto Bristol Central strengthens our offering and positions us for further success.”
This latest addition to the Fix Auto UK network mirrors the expansion strategy seen in Wales, where Paul Gravell and Matthew Davies scaled up their operations by launching Fix Auto Pontypridd following the success of Fix Auto Swansea West.
Fix Auto UK’s Operations Director, Mark Hutchins, praised the Mustoe brothers for their drive and business acumen: “Ashley and Dan are part of a new generation of ambitious bodyshop owners. They are smart, determined, and fully committed to delivering high-quality repairs. Their expansion into Bristol is not only a win for them but also for the entire Fix Auto UK network.”
Fix Auto Bristol Central is now fully operational and ready to serve customers across the region. With the Mustoe brothers’ proven track record of excellence and their strong support from Fix Auto UK, the new site is set to become a key player in the accident repair industry.
