COQUITLAM (British Columbia), August 22, 2019 – Tom Maple, Regional Vice President for Fix Network British Columbia, enthusiastically welcomes NOVUS Glass Coquitlam to the Fix Network. This location in Coquitlam will be the largest of the Skidmore Group’s locations and will serve as their flagship facility and head office. Located at 1200 Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam this location is what the Skidmore Group envisions all their NOVUS Glass facilities to be. With this addition, NOVUS Glass can more effectively serve the rapidly growing Greater Vancouver Area.
Christine Perry, Regional Manager of the Skidmore Group’s NOVUS Glass operations states, “This new location will also serve as a fantastic head office for our four other shops as well as a beautiful space to host industry events and training sessions.” The Coquitlam location joins the four existing NOVUS Glass facilities owned and operated by the Skidmore Group in Langley, South Surrey, Aldergrove and Vancouver, and executes on the strategy of elevating the experience for customers, fleet partners and suppliers alike.
Even though the Skidmore Group sold the global franchise rights for NOVUS Glass to Fix Network, the Group is still a major player in the automotive glass industry and remains a valuable franchise strategic partner to the Fix Network. The Skidmore Group is the largest NOVUS Glass franchisee in Canada and plans to continue expanding by opening additional locations across British Columbia.
NOVUS Glass Coquitlam is easily accessible from both the Lougheed and the Trans Canada Highways, is fully equipped with calibration equipment for ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and features glass walls for a full unobstructed view into the shop area so customers can see the repairs being completed by highly trained technicians.

We want to ensure that our customers not only receive the best automotive glass repair or replacement in the industry but also feel comfortable in a clean, modern environment.”
