Fix Auto Chelmsford has become the latest Franchise Partner within the Group to secure a prestigious vehicle manufacturer approval, successfully achieving official Volvo Approved Bodyshop status.
The accreditation follows a comprehensive 12-month programme of investment that has seen the Essex repairer, who also own Fix Auto Braintree and Fix Auto Colchester, further enhance its facilities, equipment and technician training to meet Volvo’s exacting repair standards.
The latest achievement continues a successful period for the Group and comes just weeks after Fix Auto Manchester East was officially approved by BMW and MINI. It also follows recent Tesla approvals awarded to both Fix Auto Slough and Fix Auto Loughborough, underlining the organisation’s continued commitment to meeting the highest manufacturer repair standards.
Commenting on the milestone, Director Paul Shelton said: “”Gaining Volvo Approved Bodyshop status is a fantastic achievement for everyone within the business and reflects the commitment and investment made by the entire team over the past 12 months. The approval process has required a significant focus on training, quality standards and operational excellence, and I am incredibly proud of the team for embracing the challenge and delivering the standards required by such a prestigious manufacturer.”
Mark Hutchins, Operations Director for Fix Auto UK, added: “It is fantastic to see Fix Auto Chelmsford join the growing number of Franchise Partners securing manufacturer approvals. These achievements are testament to the investment and capability demonstrated by our Franchise Partners and their teams. Volvo approval is a significant milestone and recognises the high standards being achieved there.”
