FMG Repair Services has expanded its repair network with the acquisition of the Hastings-based SLM dealership group.
Previously operating as part of the Fix Auto network, the Hastings facility is a large-scale repair centre capable of carrying out high-quality repairs for cars and light commercial vehicles, including electric and hybrids.
The move increases capacity for FMG Repair Services in an area of high demand, enhancing its ability to support customers and insurer partners with high-quality.
It forms part of an ongoing strategy of expansion, in line with the ZIGUP group’s broader strategy of delivering integrated mobility solutions at scale across the UK.

Paul Wrigglesworth, managing director at FMG Repair Services, said: “As demand for high-quality repair capacity continues to grow, it’s important that we continue to strengthen our network in the right locations. Hastings has long been an area where we’ve identified an opportunity to enhance our geographic coverage, and this established operation provides a proven capability that is already delivering excellent outcomes for customers.
“Rather than starting from scratch, we’re bringing a high-performing repair centre into the FMG Repair Services network, enabling us to expand our footprint quickly while maintaining the quality and service standards our customers and partners expect.
“We’re delighted to welcome the experienced team to FMG Repair Services and look forward to building on the strong foundations already in place.
“As we look ahead, we’ll continue exploring a range of opportunities to expand our capability, strengthen our geographic reach and deliver even greater value for our customers and partners.”
