Fix Auto USA has announced the opening of a new location in Ogden, Utah, according to a press release.
Fix Auto Ogden is owned by Efrain Perez, who operates the store alongside his wife, Rebeca Perez. Efrain is from Colombia, where he got his start in the industry by helping his dad with work around his body shop. His family moved to the United States and Efrain soon started his own small body shop.
While Rebeca is new to the automotive industry, the same drive that motivated her background in healthcare working as a nurse helps her to connect and communicate with customers.
The 10,500-square-foot facility will employ eight individuals. Efrain said he is “optimistic about taking this location to the next level,” with it set to gain I-CAR Gold certification soon and plans to earn more OEM certifications sometime this year.
“Growth can often be difficult to manage but is always a good thing when it has empowered individuals like the Perez family leading the charge,” Driven Brands’ COO of U.S. collision, Damien Reyna, stated.
