A new accident repair centre has opened in Dundee, with the firm’s Perth bodyshop closing.

FMG Repair Services has opened in part of the former Ravensby Glass building in Fowler Road.

The firm, which operates nationwide, said the new site will strengthen repair capacity throughout Tayside and Fife.

Staff from its bodyshop in Strathtay Road, Perth, have transferred to Dundee.

Ravensby Glass has split its former premises into smaller units.

“We offer fast, efficient and future-proof repair solutions for all modern vehicles and fuel types.

“Our extensive development phase at the Dundee site has resulted in an inspiring, state-of-the-art environment to bring the Perth team back together. It’s a fantastic asset for attracting new talent.

At 21,000 sq ft, the bodyshop has specialist capability to repair standard vehicles and light commercial vehicles.

This includes large ramps, repair booths and specialist jigs designed for longer and heavier vans. It also has standard bays, jigs and scissor lifts.
