“I became a Franchise Partner in 2017 for many reasons, but principally I wanted to ensure my business would succeed and thrive long-term; and it was the single best business decision I’ve ever made,” said Krishneel Chand, owner-operator of Fix Auto Sonora. “Because I took advantage of Fix Auto USA’s proven platform, I was able to further develop my first body shop and expand my operations to include a second. I’m also looking forward to future expansion opportunities.”

“Once I aligned my business with Fix Auto USA, I immediately gained access to a fraternity of progressive, like-minded operators who truly care about my success and that of my two body shops,” said Sid Rodriguez Jr., owner-operator of Fix Auto El Cajon and Fix Auto La Mesa. “In addition, we’re very much looking forward to leveraging a recognized brand, consumer advertising campaigns, and a world-class operating platform.”

“To see existing Franchise Partners expand their operations, like Krishneel and Selvi, and to welcome new operators, like Pat, Sid Sr. and Sid Jr., Russ, and Mike and Stephanie, simply underscores our mission — to provide a proven platform that allows independently owned and operated body shops to achieve long-term success,” said Paul Gange, president and CEO of Fix Auto USA. “We welcome these new locations to the Fix Auto USA Family.”
