Accident repair specialist FMG Repair Services has opened the doors to a new bodyshop in Chadderton, Greater Manchester.

The site is installed with the latest technology to repair a large range of vehicle types, including EVs, hybrids and LCVs

With easy access to the M60 and M62 motorways, the latest site is strategically located to strengthen repair capacity in an area of high demand and bring a welcome jobs boost too.

The brand-new site has undergone an extensive development programme over the past six months. At 27,000 sq. ft, the bodyshop has 35 repair bays, each installed with the latest technology to repair a large range of vehicle types, including EVs, hybrids and LCVs. Cosmetic aluminium repair is available at present and specific bays have been allocated for structural aluminium repair in the near future.

The site employs an experienced team of ATA-qualified technicians operating all the latest repair equipment and technology, and is recruiting for a number of new vehicle repair technicians as well as VDAs, admin support and drivers.

Paul Wrigglesworth, operations director at FMG Repair Services, said: “We’re continually analysing those key developments that are shaping the future of car repair, and all of our new sites have been designed to provide our current and future customers with faster and more efficient services, regardless of fuel type, vehicle body material or next gen technology on board.”

FMG opened a new site in Bristol earlier this year, just months after the official opening of its purpose-built facility in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire in October 2023.

The company’s growth plans include investment and upgrade works for existing sites as well as purpose-developed sites in new locations.

The business employs more than 1,650 colleagues UK-wide, with the capability to repair in excess of 100,000 vehicles per annum.
