LA Bodyworks joins Fix Auto UK network
Fix Auto UK has expanded its network with the appointment of LA Bodyworks, which will now operate as Fix Auto North Plymouth.
Founded in 2013 by paint technician Leon Hall, the business has grown through a series of investments and expansions to a 9,000 sqft site with 20 work bays and a separate unit solely dedicated to ADAS.
Its team of eight productives repairs around 20 vehicles a week but has scope for more.
The appointment expands Fix Auto UK’s network on the south coast to 14 fully branded repair centres.
Ambitious
Hall said: “I am extremely proud of what I’ve achieved. From [starting the business with] that £4,000 loan and operating out of a single unit big enough to repair just one car at a time, I’ve managed to grow and develop into what we have today.
“But I am ambitious and know there’s still a lot more to come from the business and I recognised I need that help and guidance to fulfil those ambitions. Fix Auto UK has a hugely successful CV of helping repairers to take their businesses to that next level and I want to be part of that success.
Fix Auto UK’s operations director Mark Hutchins, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Leon and the entire Fix Auto North Plymouth team to the network. Leon’s journey from launching his business with a modest personal loan to building a highly respected and thriving repair centre is truly inspiring.
“His dedication to quality, continual investment in his facilities, and strong family values align perfectly with what Fix Auto UK stands for. We’re excited to support his continued growth.”
