Fix Auto USA celebrates grand opening of 200th store
The 200th location is in Palm Desert, California, and is the fifth location for the franchise owner.
In 2011, Fix Auto USA was founded to create a network of high-performing, independent body shops. The first 30 locations banded together, quickly transitioning from a locally-known business to an industry-leading collision repair family.
Fast forward to today, Fix Auto USA is celebrating the opening of its 200th location at Fix Auto Palm Desert South.
“When Fix Auto USA joined the Driven Brands collision group back in 2020, it was clear that this group of owners was determined to be the best of the best,” said Sabrina Thring, collision president, Driven Brands. “The dedication to their craft, customers, and one another has laid the groundwork of this thriving network. Reaching this milestone is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to be a part of this continued growth.”
Henry Arroyo, the owner-operator of the 200th Fix Auto USA location in Palm Desert, California, is a current multi-store owner, owning five locations in Cathedral City, Indio, Palm Springs, and now two in Palm Desert.
Henry has built his business on a passion for philanthropy. He was raised to give back to those less fortunate, and he has brought this to each of his locations by instilling a mindset of giving back.
Deeply rooted in the communities around his facilities, he has hosted toy drives; collected coats, clothing, toiletries, and more; and worked with local nonprofit Martha’s Village & Kitchen, one of the largest providers of services for homeless and impoverished in the Coachella Valley. Not only has this allowed him to create bonds within his community, but it has helped to shape his business model.
Henry is also an active member in the National Auto Body Council (NABC), participating in NABC’s Recycled Rides program to gift multiple vehicles to families and veterans in need. Most recently, Henry and his team donated two vehicles to local families in January.
“I’m honored to be the 200th Fix Auto USA location,” said Henry. “I joined the Fix Auto USA network in 2014 and haven’t looked back. This network has given me so much and I can’t wait to continue building my business and representing the Fix Auto USA brand.”
Brian Newberry, vice president of collision development, Driven Brands, said: “With owners like Henry leading the way for this brand, I have no doubt that we will continue to reach new heights. Opening the 200th location is just one step in our growth, and I am thrilled to see what is in store next for this brand!”
