Freehold Car Sales & Service in Hampshire For Sale

Business description

Bag a Business is pleased to offer to the market this thriving garage with car showroom, which has been under the proud ownership of our client since 2003, although our client has been trading in the local area since 1991. It is now only being placed onto the market as he wishes to seize an opportunity to have a complete career change. William Sawyer Motors has a well-presented 4-car showroom and a well equipped 3-lift workshop that is further enhanced by a designated drive-through MOT bay. The business is run by our client with help from a dedicated team of 5 staff (average wage bill of £70,000 per year) and achieves a substantial turnover in the excess of £1 million per year, whilst enjoying an overall gross profit of 15.9%. It has an excellent local reputation and has built up a sizeable customer base, due to its good customer service and quality used Volvos. We believe that this opportunity represents an ideal base for a new owner to build upon, perhaps by extending the opening hours or even by expanding the workshop facilities to include a tyre bay etc. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
