From cotton mill to skating rink to repair centre 🛼🚗

The 19th century cotton mill that was once a local skating rink is getting a new lease of life as Fix Auto Blackburn, a brand new state of the art repair centre for drivers across Blackburn and Darwen.

It’s being opened soon by Stephen and Sam Smith, a local father and son team who’ve been with us since 2005 and already look after drivers in Bradford, Keighley and Leeds. It’s also a big one for us: it’s our 150th repair centre! 🎉1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

That means 150 local bodyshops across the country all working to the same high standards, so wherever you are, there’s a Fix Auto UK nearby if you ever need us.

Congratulations Stephen and Sam! 👏 we’ll be sharing before and after pics once the transformation is complete, so keep an eye out 📸

🎓🔧 What an achievement!🔧🎓

A massive congratulations to Ollie on successfully completing his Level 3 Accident Repair Technician qualification! 🚗💥

Watching his confidence and skills grow throughout his apprenticeship has been fantastic.

We’re incredibly proud of what he’s achieved and excited to see what the future holds for him👏

Well done Ollie. You’ve earned it!

Here’s to the next chapter! 🚀

Only 4% of apprentices in UK vehicle repair are female. Nearly half the industry's workforce is over 45. It's a massive skills gap we can't ignore, and a lot of people who'd be great at this job who just haven't been asked.

EmpowHER is our national programme to open up automotive careers to more women and girls, and to support those already in the industry to progress.

Sites across the country will be hosting events and school and college visits, giving students, parents and teachers a first-hand look at modern collision repair: a skilled, technology-driven career with real prospects.

We're proud of where we're starting from:
✅ 47% of our team is female, more than double the industry average
✅ Female apprentices joining us rose from 17% in 2025 to 27% in 2026
✅ We're the first in the sector to launch a new degree apprenticeship, with a 50/50 gender split

Over the coming months, we'll be sharing stories from people across the whole Fix Auto UK Group about how they got into the industry and what their roles really involve.

Schools, colleges and parents interested in getting involved can contact [email protected]
