Fix Auto UK has announced that is has acquired the former Fix Auto Blackpool business two years after it moved away from the network, making it the 10th site the network owns outright.
The repair centre originally joined the network in April 2015 after moving to a purpose-built 7,500 sqft building, and then extended into a 12,000 sqft facility in 2021.
Now managed by Craig Gidman with a team of 14, the bodyshop has the capacity to repair up to 100 vehicles a month.
Ian Pugh, Managing Director for Fix Auto UK, said, “Fix Auto Blackpool swiftly assured its position as a highly valued centre within the network and, as ever, it was a sad day when the management decided to pull away from us. It was a decision we respected as, as ever, we maintained close links with the team there and expressed our interest in taking it over should circumstances change. Fortunately, we were given the opportunity and I am delighted to say it is now our 10th wholly owned repair centre.”
