Franchise opportunities
Keep your business. Get a global network behind it.
For independent collision repair owners who want support, buying power and a brand customers recognise, without giving up what they've built.
The industry is changing
Collision repair in New Zealand is changing. Consolidators and some work providers have opened their own large sites, there's less work to go around for independent shops, and many owners have no succession plan in place.
Fix Auto Collision offers another option: stay independent and locally owned, and join a network that has spent more than 30 years helping workshops like yours.
“Joining Fix Auto doesn't mean starting over.”
Mike James, Director, Fix Auto NZ
A network behind you every day
Business and operational support
Advice and help behind the scenes, as much as you need, from a team that knows how to run a network.
Buying power
Supply agreements backed by approximately 900 locations worldwide. Buying at the right price helps you sell at the right price.
Branding and marketing
A full refresh of your workshop's look, from signage to uniforms, plus marketing, social media and Google support.
A seat at the table
Fix Auto Collision works with insurers and other work providers on behalf of the network.

A network of owners
Get-togethers with other Fix Auto owners to share ideas and what's working.
What stays the same, and what changes
