FMG Repair Services opens new bodyshop in Chadderton

FMG Repair Services has opened the doors of another new state-of-the-art accident repair centre. The new bodyshop in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, has been strategically located to strengthen the company’s repair capacity in an area of high demand as well as bring a welcome jobs boost, as the company continues its commitment to investing in sustainable modern automotive repair.

With easy access to the M60 and M62 motorways, the new site has undergone an extensive development programme over the past six months to suit FMG Repair Services’ specific blueprint. At 27,000 sqft, the bodyshop has 35 repair bays, each brand new, pristine clean and installed with high quality equipment and the latest technology to repair a large range of vehicle types including EV, hybrid and LCVs.

Cosmetic aluminium repair is available at present and specific bays have been allocated for structural aluminium repair in the near future.

The site employs an experienced team of ATA-qualified technicians and is recruiting for a number of new vehicle repair technicians as well as VDAs, admin support and drivers.

Paul Wrigglesworth, operations director at FMG Repair Services, said:

“Its exciting to launch another brand new facility and bring additional repair capacity and capability to the Greater Manchester area. We are continually analysing those key developments that are shaping the future of car repair, and all of our new sites have been designed to provide our current and future customers with faster and more efficient services, regardless of fuel type, vehicle body material or next gen technology on board.

“The new bodyshop in Chadderton doesn’t just meet the vehicle repair challenges of the local market, it also brings fantastic job opportunities, too. The site is big, bright and airy, an inspiring, state-of-the-art environment for colleagues to work in and a fantastic asset for attracting the best and brightest talent. We are open for business and look forward to warmly welcoming new and existing customers to our Chadderton site.”

FMG Repair Services opened a new site in Bristol earlier this year, just months after the official opening of its brand new purpose-built site in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire in October 2023.

The company’s growth plans include investment and upgrade works planned for existing sites as well as purpose developed sites in new locations.  The business employ more than 1,650 staff UK-wide, with the capability to repair in excess of 100,000 vehicles each year.
