About ABL 1Touch
Our story is simple. We’ve grown by doing the job better.
ABL started as a family run business over 30 years ago. As we grew, that background and experience gave us our ambition.
So, in 2015 we founded the 1Touch Repair Group with small, innovative, technically smart centres. Each providing an alternative to the large-scale industry sites. They still do. Insurers and clients enjoyed the difference, so we added more. And at the end of 2020, backed by Private Equity investment, ABL and 1Touch Repair became ABL 1Touch.
Quality, cost control and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. Across the UK, our expert teams combine cutting-edge techniques with eco-friendly practices to deliver efficient repairs that not only restore your vehicle but also protect our planet.
The rest isn’t history. The story is happening now.
