Autocraft Express Shrewsbury and Verrall’s Accident Repair in Sussex have both joined the Fix Auto UK network.
They will now operate as Fix Auto Shrewsbury and Fix Auto Worthing respectively.
Managed by Jake Hodnett for the past five years, the new Fix Auto Shrewsbury centre is part of the Telford-based Autocraft Group. The 5,500 sqft repair centre is BS10125 certified and boasts a team of seven technicians who are currently repairing up to 25 vehicles a week.
Hodnett said: “We’ve acted as a second-tier support centre for the network for a while so we have had a taste of what the organisation can bring to the business. I am super ambitious and want to grow and develop the site further. Stepping up and joining as a full-blown franchise partner is that next step for us.”
Meanwhile, the 6,000 sq ft state-of-the-art Fix Auto Worthing site is owned and managed by Jack Verrall.
He said: “I am ambitious, but I have always tried to walk with my business before I can run with it. We have carefully built up a great reputation by simply repairing vehicles to the highest standards possible. We have now got processes in place and we have recently passed our BS10125, to take the business to that next level which is why I’ve joined Fix Auto UK.”
Fix Auto UK’s operations director Mark Hutchins said:
“We are in an extremely fortunate position whereby we’re able to honour our promise to both our franchise partners and our insurer clients to strengthen the network in key strategic locations.
“Jake runs an extremely efficient team at Fix Auto Shrewsbury, that site perfectly complements to our established centres in the Midlands. What Jack has achieved in a relatively short amount of time is inspiring. Both are extremely ambitious, too, which is the perfect quality when bringing new businesses on board.”
