We are also a preferred repair partner for many of the UK’s leading insurance companies, demonstrating our trusted status within the industry.
Our History
We are very proud of our humble beginnings and family run business. Fylde Coast ARC was established in 1982 by David Hyland. From small beginnings of just one apprentice, David Hyland’s passion for repairing vehicles has enabled him to build a company with around 40 employees servicing some of the largest insurance companies in the UK.
We expanded into the Palmer Avenue site Blackpool in 1988. This was a very exciting time for the Company going from a site that was only 2000 sq feet to a site which was 12000 sq ft. We went from servicing just the Fylde area to the North West area which included South Cumbria, Southport, Preston, and the Blackburn areas.
In 2019 we moved into our state of the art 18,000 sq ft facility in Blackpool Enterprise Zone, which has been our home ever since.
