Fix Auto has announced the appointment of Portsmouth-based Motorworld Car Bodyshop Ltd.

The latest signing comes less than two weeks after Fix Auto Tavistock joined the operation.

Owned and managed by brothers Chris and Terry Clemens who started the business in 1996, the new appointment will trade as Fix Auto Portsmouth.

The BSI Kitemark-accredited 10,000 sq ft operation employs 10 people and has the capability to repair up to 150 cars and LCVs each month.

“We have succeeded so far by providing a high quality repair service,” said Terry Clemens, “but my brother and I recognise that despite our high standards, to continue to flourish we needed the very best business support and guidance the industry has to offer.  Fix Auto UK brings those qualities, and far more besides, to our business. We’re very proud to be working alongside like minded repair centres who share the same vision.”

Chris Clemens added: “We are extremely excited to become part of Fix Auto UK.  We have been working behind the scenes with the Fix Auto UK team over the past month and in that short amount of time we are already reaping the benefits with the implementation of new working practices and systems.  We’re looking forward to seeing the tangible impact on our bottom line and we believe that we will have a bright and prosperous future.”

Commenting on the latest appointment, Fix Auto UK’s managing director Ian Pugh, said: “These are really exciting times for the entire business. Adding Fix Auto Portsmouth is a major coup for our network because it strengthens our service offering in the south of England to insurers and motorists alike.  It dovetails nicely with our existing bodyshops in Petersfield and Brighton in the area, and fits perfectly with the requirements of our major clients.  I’m delighted to welcome Chris and Terry on board.”
