Auto Fuel Fix said the acquisition reinforces its commitment to the highest service and compliance levels and added that “together with the use of the most advanced equipment, extensive staff training and personal development, the merger makes Auto Fuel Fix the expert of choice when it comes to specialist recovery operations”.

“This merger with a well-established business in the Midlands not only cements Auto Fuel Fix’s position as the leading independent provider of mobile fuel drain services but also consolidates our coverage on a national level,” said Auto Fuel Fix MD Bruce Compton.

The AA’s figures suggest that around 150,000 UK motorists put the wrong fuel in their car every year; equating to one mistake, on British roads, every four minutes.
