Freehold MOT Station/Garage For Sale

Business description

Bag a Business Ltd is delighted to offer to the market Crossways Garage. The business was established in 1927 and has been in our client's careful ownership since 1985. Crossways Garage offers MOTs and general repairs and services on all makes of cars and light commercial vehicles. The turnover for the year ending 30/09/06 was £128,693, producing adjusted net profits approaching £70,000 per annum. Trade has significantly increased in 2007, with 80% of the work MOTs, which is approximately 80-90 per week. Trade is drawn from the surrounding villages, with clients also coming from Dorchester and Weymouth, mainly due to our client's excellent reputation. The business is run by a father and son with one employee, resulting in a wages bill of £17,865 per annum. There is vast potential for new owners by creating another MOT bay and by taking over the car sales business. Crossways Garage benefits from a recently refurbished three-bedroom bungalow, which is fitted out to a very high standard and has a large secluded rear garden and swimming pool. A further opportunity may be available as a residential development site. Our client has plans for six executive homes, three 3-bedroom and three 4-bedroom detached houses. The old petrol station tanks have yet to be filled in making it easier to remove them, subject to planning permission. Early discussions with Bag a Business Ltd must come highly recommended.
