FIX AUTO UK STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN THE CAPITAL
Fix Auto UK’s position within London has been further strengthened with the appointment of its 12th repair centre that will serve motorists inside the M25.
Formerly known as MTS Vehicle Services, the repairer will now operate as Fix Auto Croxley Green and joins the network following a fast-tracked programme of development over the last 12 months by owner Matthew Jedrzejczyk.
Formed seven years ago from a single unit adjoined to his used car sales operation, the business has steadily progressed however that progression has been accelerated over the last 12 months and the business has grown beyond all recognition.
In preparation for joining Fix Auto UK, Matthew brought forward his ambitions and moved into an adjoining building, a move that increases his bodyshop and offices to more than 25,000 sq ft. Importantly, such is the size – particularly height - and layout of the new building, the Polish-born businessman is readying himself to be able to add HGVs to his portfolio of vehicles to repair.
The rapid investment in the site has seen three new spray booths installed over the last nine months, one solely dedicated to LCVs, and a dedicated ADAS system. A team of 25 is currently operating at a capacity to repair up to 60 vehicles a week, but Matthew is driven to raise that to 80-plus and is currently putting the finishing touches to what will be an area dedicated to repairing aluminium and carbon composite-made vehicles.
“I am extremely ambitious and believe in what we are doing here,” said Matthew, “but like so many repairers out there, I know if we are to fulfil our full potential we need to be part of something, an organisation, that is far bigger and is able to help with our ambitions which is why we approached Fix Auto UK. You simply cannot ignore what the network brings to a business like ours.”
Fix Auto UK’s Managing Director Ian Pugh, commented: “Like so many of our Franchise Partners, Matthew epitomises the true entrepreneur and joins us with a huge amount of energy and a huge drive to succeed. Continually building our network, particularly in the capital, is paramount to our continued success. Fix Auto Croxley Green has huge potential which, together, will be fulfilled I’m sure.”
