Fix Auto UK and LKQ have signed a five-year partnership that supports long-term success and sustainability for its franchise partners.
The agreement, which builds on a three-year partnership, will run until 1 September 2030 and reinforces their shared commitment to sustainable growth and excellence.
As part of the new agreement, LKQ will become the preferred sole supplier for Fix Auto UK’s 133 franchisees, providing them with access to bodyshop solutions including workshop equipment, paint supply, consumables and the UK’s largest selection of BS10125 compliant car body parts.
This collaboration not only supports business optimisation, but also enables significant investment in people, with partners benefiting from industry-leading training through the LKQ Academy.
New partnership
Deboragh Greenwood, head of account management at LKQ, said: “Fix Auto UK is one of the country’s leading brand of repairers trusted by motorists and insurance companies for its dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, which are values it shares with LKQ. This partnership builds on a long-standing relationship, with both businesses having evolved side-by-side to meet the changing needs of the industry.
“We’re now taking that one step further by putting our dedicated support behind repairers across the network, helping cater to their unique needs as they navigate the challenges of today’s market.
“LKQ doesn’t provide a one-size-fits-all approach, and by leveraging our collective expertise and resources we can ensure every bodyshop under the Fix Auto UK banner receives the right solutions to drive sustainable and profitable growth – be that parts, training, investment or day-to-day account management.”
Great opportunity
Mark Hutchins, operations director at Fix Auto UK, added: “This partnership is a great opportunity to reinforce our commitment to providing our franchise partners with a one-stop solution for expert and reliable body repair services.
“LKQ, like us, is a company that takes a broad view of the industry and recognises the importance of flexibility in meeting customer needs. What attracted us to this partnership is the comprehensive bodyshop offering that sets LKQ apart.
“From aftersales support and training to insights and technical expertise, their full-service approach will bring meaningful value to our network and their customers supporting our ongoing growth and commitment to continuous improvement.”
