Northern Accident Repair Centre in Rochdale is expanding its operation to provide a ‘fast fit’ car repair service alongside its current bodyshop. It has already started the extension work and the new business will open in October this year providing new jobs and facilities.

The new fast-fit service centre will be providing a drop off service. Whey can drop their cars off, have servicing work, MOTs and repairs carried out while they go shopping or to work.

Andy Beswick, MD of the group said: "With all the development in Rochdale and the growth of the new tram terminal opposite our bodyshop, we felt we could offer services to the commuters and also our current bodyshop customers."
