Automotive Car Parts Business In Melbourne For Sale

Business description

Car parts distribution mostly within Victoria but also interstate and international sales (enormous potential for international expansion if desired)
Please note we sell some new parts (imported) but mostly used parts which we source from damaged cars.
Our business has traditionally been used parts but with a very good range of sources from over seas we are looking at more importing to meet demand for hard to locate items.
Our warehouse is located in the south east suburbs of Melbourne. Included in the business are extensive storage for parts, racking, equipment and stock, a Toyota Hi-Ace delivery van and Toyota Hi-Lux delivery ute.
Although the business is technically re-locatable because sales are not dependent on customers walking through the door, it would not be advisable for a new owner to move premises until some time after taking over.

Our customers are panel beaters, motor mechanics and workshops, car dealers and retail.
Turnover per year is approx. $600K with no accounts, all sales are settled at the time of sale.
There is a large level of stock on hand so most orders can be satisfied.
