FIX AUTO UK’s NORTHERN IRELAND OFFERING CONTINUES TO GROW WITH GREENISLAND ADDITION

Fix Auto UK’s proposition in Northern Ireland continues to gain pace with the appointment of its fourth repair centre in the region.
Owned and managed by Nathan Hogg and his wife, Natalie, Fix Auto Greenisland is perfectly positioned on the banks of the Belfast Lough to serve motorists in northern Belfast, Carrickfergus and beyond.
The new site complements the network’s existing repairers Fix Auto Laganside and Fix Auto Saintfield in being able to repair vehicles from Belfast and its surrounding areas. Fix Auto Balleymoney is based in the north, serving Coleraine and Londonderry areas.
Importantly the 4,000sq ft bodyshop which hosts six productives including, when needed, Nathan who is a skilled spray painter, takes Fix Auto UK’s capacity to repair 260 vehicles a month in the region with scope for more.
Nathan and his team have been working towards gaining their BSI accreditation and their final audit is scheduled for early in October.
Having first worked in the business for nearly two years, Nathan bought it from his previous employer in 2018 and has since created an envious reputation – Greenisland Body Repair Centre as it previously operated as has an impeccable five-star rating across all major social platforms.
It is Nathan’s second major move of the summer for he recently acquired a neighbouring mechanical workshop, a move that completes his offering to customers and shores up valuable vehicle parking space.
Speaking about his reasons behind joining the network, Nathan said: “Like so many repairers before me, I am ambitious and want to grow and develop my business, but I also recognise you can only achieve so much on your own. I am confident that with the help, guidance and support Fix Auto UK is renowned for, we will do just that.
“We are progressing well. Our reputation is exceptional and I am proud of that, but I do recognise if we are to fulfil our true potential then I do need that help and guidance that comes with experience.”
Ian Pugh, Managing Director for Fix Auto UK, said: “Three years ago Fix Auto UK had no presence in Northern Ireland and here we are today, welcoming Nathan, Natalie and their team as our fourth site to the network. Their appointment not only further cements our ever-growing position in the region, but it again proves there’s an appetite for repairers to join a group of bodyshops with the sole aim of working together which is the ethos of Fix Auto…”
