“I made the decision to align my business with Fix Auto USA for one main reason: to gain the benefits of a nationally recognized brand while maintaining complete ownership of my shop,” said Fix Auto Santa Rosa owner-operator Todd Bishop. “It’s incredibly rewarding personally and professionally to be surrounded by so many others that truly care about my shop’s success, and that’s very comforting to me.”

Fix Auto Carlsbad Village owner-operator Richard Fish said he became a founding franchise partner in 2011 “to ensure the long-term sustainability of my business.”

“By leveraging Fix Auto USA’s platform, I’ve been able to expand my operations to six locations and have never been more confident in my business’s long-term success,” he added.

Fix Auto USA President and CEO Paul Gange extended “a warm welcome” to the new franchisees.

“Twenty-four high performing, independent operators aligned or expanded their business with Fix Auto USA in 2017, and that simply reiterates the growing value our brand commands in an increasingly competitive marketplace,” Gange said.
