MotorAid become Fix franchisee

Fix Auto UK has announced that MotorAid has joined the network and will now operate as Fix Auto Basildon.

One of the region’s leading vehicle repairers with a heritage spanning almost three decades, the three-acre site features a workshop space of more than 27,000 sqft that can handle up to 200 car and light commercial vehicle repairs a month.

Owner Steve Abbs said, “We are constantly looking to improve and develop the business. Nearly a year ago we started repairing vehicles for Fix Auto UK and liked the services they provide. We realised early into our relationship there was much more to the network, and we wanted more of it.

“We’ve recognised we needed to future-proof our business, being part of a network, especially one with such a reputation as Fix Auto UK, has to be the future for all repairers and we’re now delighted to be part of it.”

Ian Pugh, Managing Director for Fix Auto UK, said: “These are undoubtedly frenetic times for the industry and we are always striving to strengthen the network but with businesses that sit right for us and, dare I say, we have to be the right fit for them too. Steve and business partner Simon Croft have built up an enviable reputation over the years and have served us well since the start of 2022, stepping up to be a first tier, fully branded, Fix Auto UK repairer was the natural progression and I am delighted to have them on board.”
