Our take

Fixter is designed to liberate car owners from the stress of booking a high street garage service, supporting easier booking for MOTs, services and car repairs. Bringing together car industry specialists and state-of-the-art digital experts, it has created an offering that both supports independent garages and streamlines car maintenance for drivers.

The company's in-house mechanics personally select each garage it works with, directly negotiates prices with them, and reviews their services on clients' cars to maintain quality. As part of its service, Fixter also collects the vehicle at a location of a customer's choosing and returns it once the job has been completed, adding go tits hassle-free approach.

Since launching in 2017, Fixter has expanded to more than 100 towns and cities across the UK, and its 2022 acquisition by Renault Group will support expansion in France and other European countries in the years to come. With the car service, maintenance and repairs market worth around £30 billion per annum in the UK alone - and fairly untouched by the digital revolution - there is a wealth of opportunity on Fixter's horizon.
