Fix Auto UK expands South Coast network with North Plymouth site

Fix Auto UK has continued its expansion along Britain’s South Coast with the addition of a new site in Plymouth, as LA Bodyworks officially joins the network under the new name Fix Auto North Plymouth.

The move marked a significant milestone for founder Leon Hall, who launched LA Bodyworks in 2013 with a £4,000 personal loan.

The business has since developed into a 9,000 sq ft repair centre with 20 work bays, additional secure parking, and a separate unit dedicated to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Now operating as Fix Auto North Plymouth, the site becomes the latest in a string of strategic additions for Fix Auto UK, which now has 14 fully branded repair centres spanning the south coast — from Fix Auto Lydd in Kent to Fix Auto Penzance in Cornwall.

Hall said: “I am extremely proud of what I’ve achieved. From that £4,000 loan and operating out of a single unit big enough to repair just one car at a time, I’ve managed to grow and develop into what we have today.

“But I am ambitious and know there’s still a lot more to come from the business and I recognised I need that help and guidance to fulfil those ambitions.

“Fix Auto UK has a hugely successful CV of helping repairers to take their businesses to that next level and I want to be part of that success.”

The site is situated on the northern outskirts of Plymouth, close to the city’s main arterial roads. Hall runs the operation with a close-knit team of eight, including his brother, father and a lifelong friend.
