In 2012, AVR was nominated for and won the Paint and Panel Suncorp Best Small Business Award, Western Australia.
Now operating as Fix Auto Wangara, the business undertakes work from small paintless dent repairs to major accident damage.
"The decision to become part of the Fix Auto network was not taken lightly. After meeting with Terry Feehan and (National Operations Manager) Steve Taylor, Gail and I made the decision that this was the best thing we could do for our business.
"In our opinion, Fix Auto is different from any other repair network, as the businesses are still owner-operated, not managed. We feel that this is very important to ensure the best possible service for our customers," Allen said.

“This latest addition to our network is a real win for Fix Auto Australia. The Allens have earned the respect of their community by delivering high-quality work and a stellar customer experience.
"Now as Fix Auto Wangara, we are confident we have initiated a partnership that will be mutually beneficial and will help Andy, Gail and their team grow into the future. I am glad to welcome them on board.”
