Steer expands into south west with ARC Group acquisition

Steer Automotive Group has acquired the collision repair specialist Accident Repair Centre Group (ARC Group) which operates across the south west of England, strengthening its regional presence.

Founded in 1991, ARC Group has developed a network of repair centres in Bristol, Chippenham, Weston-super-Mare, and Swindon, offering specialist repair services supported by 23 manufacturer approvals, including BMW, Mini, Toyota Lexus, Volvo/Polestar, Stellantis, and VWG.

Richard Steer, chief executive of Steer Automotive Group, highlighted the synergy between the two organisations. “Their commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service mirrors our own values, making this acquisition a natural fit.

“Together, we will strengthen our presence in the south west and explore exciting new opportunities for collaboration and growth. Most importantly, we look forward to working with the talented ARC team as we continue to deliver exceptional automotive repair services.”
