CALGARY (AB), January 26, 2021 – Cochrane, in Alberta, has become the latest location to join the Fix Network family, offering advanced collision repair services to one of the fastest growing communities in the province.
Greg Archibald and Kevin Brown, owners and operators of Fix Auto Cochrane, have each spent over three decades in the automotive industry and are well-known in Alberta’s vehicle repair community. The 10,000 square foot facility is a local landmark known for its excellent customer service and timely repair.
“Collision repair is a tough business and we wanted to make sure that our teams and facility are equipped to handle the most technologically advanced vehicles,” explains Greg Archibald. “It was therefore a unanimous decision to lean towards Fix Auto to move our decades-old business.”
When making the decision to join an automotive franchise banner, Greg and Kevin found Fix Auto as the natural fit to take their business forward. “Fix Auto boasts some of the industry’s sophisticated operational and management tools designed for optimal shop efficiency,” says Kevin. “Not to mention, they have strong insurer and fleet relations, and support franchisees with creative national and local marketing initiatives.”
Over the past five years, the Fix Auto Cochrane facility has doubled in size to meet the increasing regional demand for sophisticated and timely collision services. The shop recently installed modern paint booths along with aluminum bays, to reduce waiting times.
The Fix Auto Cochrane team is made up of highly trained body and paint technicians to ensure vehicles are repaired to the highest OEM standards. The shop and equipment have been upgraded to meet the demands of repairing today’s technologically advanced vehicles.
Welcoming Fix Auto Cochrane into the family, Chris Peterson, Regional Vice-President (Western Canada) for Fix Network, said: “Greg and Kevin have a deep understanding of the latest international automotive trends and their enthusiasm to learn from our best practices makes this a win-win relationship.”
