Fix Auto UK has acquired its 11th fully-owned bodyshop after purchasing Fix Auto Edinburgh West. The acquisition from owners Stewart and Carol Roden is Fix Auto UK’s first in Scotland.
The network will now invest heavily in the site to include two workshops, two spray booths and total workspace of 10,500 sqft.

With a 14-strong team including nine technicians, the site will continue to be managed by Michael Kinnell with the son of previous owners Michael Roden remaining as assistant manager.
Ian Pugh, managing director for Fix Auto UK, said: “Stuart and Carol have built up an incredibly respected business, it is a privilege to be asked to not only take it over, but continue their legacy as one of Scotland’s finest repairers.
“Buying a repair centre in Scotland marks another new and exciting chapter as we develop our portfolio of wholly and part owned repair centres which is pivotal as we continually strive to not only maintain the network’s position in key strategic towns and cities, but build upon it. We have invested significantly in our internal infrastructure to ensure all of our sites maintain and increase their productivities and efficiencies.”
Stewart Roden added:
“We have embraced Fix Auto UK since the day we joined the network in 2014. We firmly believe in its ethos. Safeguarding our team who have served us so well over the years has been paramount. It really is a new and exciting chapter for the repair centre.”
