Fix Auto UK Further Builds on its Bristol Presence with Addition of Phoenix Accident Repair Centre

Fix Auto UK has further strengthened its position as a leading repairer in Bristol with the appointment of Phoenix Accident Repair Centre, a business whose own story of growth and transformation perfectly mirrors its well-used metaphor.

Owned and managed by Wayne Morgan and John Chancellor, the repair centre has ‘risen’ into the Fix Auto UK Group and will now operate as Fix Auto Bristol East, becoming the organisation’s third repair facility serving the historic city’s motorists alongside Fix Auto Bristol North and Fix Auto Bristol Central.

Like the legendary phoenix that emerges stronger from the ashes, the business has undergone a significant evolution in recent years. Today, the impressive 22,000 sq ft operation comprises two adjoining units and is already repairing up to 250 vehicles per month, including LCVs, with capacity to accommodate further growth as demand increases.  

Demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement, Wayne recently secured an adjoining building and created a dedicated thoroughfare between the two units, ensuring a seamless workflow and significantly increasing productivity for his team of 20 technicians.

Wayne commented: “We’ve built an enviable reputation for delivering high-quality repairs quickly and consistently. However, like many successful repairers, we remain ambitious and recognise that our business has significant untapped potential.

“While John and I have extensive management experience, we also recognise the value of external support and guidance in helping us reach the next level. Ultimately, that’s why we chose to join Fix Auto UK.

“There’s no hiding the fact that we’re constantly hearing how repairers within the Group are excelling and we want to be part of that movement.”

Mark Hutchins, Operations Director for Fix Auto UK, added: “During our recent National Conference, we reinforced the importance of maintaining the momentum of our continued growth strategy, and the addition of Wayne, John and their team at Fix Auto Bristol East could not be more timely.

“This is an impressive business with a clear vision for further development. We have the systems, expertise and support infrastructure in place to help ambitious Franchise Partners realise their goals, and we look forward to supporting the team as they continue their growth journey.”
