Fix Auto recently added five new locations to their Canadian network roster-Fix Auto Okotoks, Fix Auto Medicine Hat, Fix Auto Thunder Bay South, Fix Auto Ottawa Innes, and Fix Auto Port Perry.
In Alberta, the Fix Auto Okotoks location is just south of Calgary and is owned and operated by Morley Barnaby, who has been a long standing part in the collision community of Southern Alberta.
"Fix Auto is well equipped with current industry trends which are something Morley finds attractive. Looking at the near future Fix Auto Okotoks will strengthen the networks presence in the greater Calgary area," said Peter Polito, general manager of Fix Auto Alberta.
"I am very excited to be part of the Fix Auto brand network," said Barnaby, owner of Fix Auto Okotoks. "Fix Auto is excellent support for any independent shop looking to succeed in the new generation of collision repair."
Fix Auto Medicine Hat is the most recent location in Alberta to open this year. Owned and operated by the Lant family for over 27 years, this shop has experienced a tremendous level of growth. In March 2011, the dealership moved into a brand new facility to serve their expanding business.
"We are very excited about the Medicine Hat market," said Polito, "Fix Auto Medicine Hat was built on a solid reputation, ready to take their collision repair facility to another level."
Third generation Pelletier family is proud to announce the opening of Fix Auto Thunder Bay South. The Pelletier family's name focuses on three fundamentals - quality work, customer service and innovation. For over 35 years, this business has been known for innovation and exceptional customer service.
"Our reputation is built on quality. This has been the case since the very beginning, and will always remain our top priority," said Roy Pelletier, Fix Auto Thunder Bay South business development manager. "If you ask me why we joined The Fix Auto network, something my Grandfather always said comes to mind, ‘If you don't stay ahead of your competition you will get left behind.'"
The new Ottawa Innes location is the third Fix Auto location to service the city. This shop has been part of the collision industry since 1989.
"There are many benefits of being a member of the Fix Auto Network-professional best practices, well placed processes and focus on technology just to name a few," said Scott Noseworthy, Fix Auto Ottawa location manager and both an ICAR Platinum certified and ICAR instructor. "We have worked with three Direct Repair Program (DRP) partners for the last 12 years and are happy to be able to offer their customer's Fix Auto's National Lifetime Warranty. We are please about this move and excited about being part of the Fix Auto network."
Owner William Halteh's mission to further grow his shop within the auto industry became the central focus for Fix Auto Port Perry location. The operator of the shop, Ron Klett, is a 30-year veteran who is passionate about his work with a great focus on quality and details of repairs.
