Fix Auto UK has hit a milestone with the appointment of Fix Auto Sheffield, marking its first presence in the city in its 20 year history.

Formerly known as Just Cars and Commercials, the business was founded by Dominic Burns (pictured, right) and Yan Masterman (pictured, centre) in 2022, having both started in the industry as teenage apprentice technicians.

The appointment brings the Fix Auto UK name into Sheffield, completing the void between Fix Auto Manchester East, Fix Auto Barnsley, Fix Auto Matlock, Fix Auto Sutton-in-Ashfield and Fix Auto Grimsby.

Complete with two spraybooths, one dedicated to commercial vehicles, the team of four productives – including one second year apprentice – are currently repairing up to 20 vehicles a month.

Burns said: “Joining Fix Auto UK has long been part of our business plan, we’re both technicians at heart and have exceptional pride in every repair we complete but, we know our limitations in terms of where we are able take the business to.

“We have brought the business to a point which we are extremely proud of but one where we know we need that extra help and guidance which you receive from the network if we are to fulfil our ambitions.”

Masterman added: “It seems like only five minutes ago we were repairing cars in our spare time from my parents’ garage and today, we’re now part of Fix Auto UK!

“Bringing the brand into Sheffield has been a goal of ours for some time and we are delighted to be finally on board.

“It has been a journey, we have had to invest not only in the building but with the team and with equipment to secure our BSI10125.”

Mark Hutchins, operations director at Fix Auto UK, said: “Bringing on a new Franchise Partner is always exciting, even more so when we’re welcoming a double act like Dominic and Yan who have succeeded so well but, by their own admission, are really just getting going.

“They’ve joined the network full of ambition with an unrivalled desire to thrive which are incredible qualities to bring on board.”
