Jai and Reena Patel are celebrating five impressive years as the owners of Revive! Gloucester & Bristol Central, one of the UK’s leading mobile providers of minor paint and bodywork repairs for vehicles and alloy wheels. During that time, they have won multiple awards and expanded the business into Bristol Central, marking another significant milestone in their growth journey.
Launching a new business in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic was a daunting prospect for the couple. Starting with just two mobile repair vans and two experienced technicians, Revive! Gloucester & Bristol Central has since more than tripled in size, operating a fleet of seven mobile repair vans and employing seven highly skilled technicians.
“It’s really amazing to see how far we’ve come. The sustained growth we’ve had so far has been fantastic. Taking on more technicians and creating skilled jobs in the local area has been especially rewarding… The Gloucester community have been really supportive and we’ve always been determined to provide a five-star experience to our customers. I’d just like to thank our customers and local dealers who have welcomed us and really helped us grow,” commented Jai Patel, owner of Revive! Gloucester & Bristol Central.
The business uses highly skilled technicians to carry out quality, cost-effective repairs at a time and place to suit customers. Repairs often cost significantly less than a typical insurance excess, helping customers avoid lengthy body shop visits, arranging transport or needing a courtesy car.
Revive! Gloucester & Bristol Central is part of the wider Revive! Network of Smart repair specialists and is one of more than 55 Revive! franchise businesses nationwide. Jai and Reena have received a lot of support and training from Revive! as they have developed the business, This support has enabled the business not only to succeed in the competitive Gloucestershire market, but also to expand into Bristol Central and continue growing.
During the past five years, Jai and Reena have earned widespread recognition for their achievements. Awards include the 2023 Best Start-Up Business in the Southwest, Highly Commended in the 2025 British Franchise Association (BFA) Dynamic Duo Award and Highly Commended in the 2025 SoGlos Gloucestershire Business Awards in the Micro Business of the Year category.
