Montreal, Quebec -- July 30, 2012 -- As part of a succession plan for the company, Guy Bessette, Chairman of the Board of Directors is proud to announce that Steve Leal will join the shareholding of Fix Auto Canada in the coming months. Effective October 1, 2012, a new entity will own all the provincial entities and Fix Auto Canada. This new partnership will also form part of the company’s succession plan.

Bessette, Duplantie and Leal will be shareholders in the new Fix Auto Canada entity.  Duplantie and Bessette firmly believe in Leal, who will be leading the new company. As a result they have decided to welcome him as a shareholder.

The transaction will go into effect October 1, 2012. Leal will become President of Fix Auto Canada at that time. Duplantie will fill the role of Strategic Advisor to the President. Bessette will continue in his position of Chairman.

According to a statement from Fix Auto Canada, this succession plan is intended to be fully transparent without any changes to either the teams in place in any province or with the head office in Quebec and its regional offices.

Fix Auto Canada says this new approach will allow the network to further standardize its processes and to be more effective in communication and decision making, delivering better results to Fix Auto's strategic partners.
