Freehold Mot Testing Station & Garage For Sale

Business description

Bag a Business is delighted to offer to the market this extremely profitable MOT testing station and general repairs garage, which has been under the careful ownership of our client for approximately 5 years. Associated Car & Truck is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to concentrate on their other business, closer to home. The business has an exceptional turnover for limited opening hours, generating an annual figure in the region of £192,240 with an excellent gross profit of 76%, derived from primarily trade work contracted from the likes of Arnold Clark and Lymedale Motors plus many more. The business has sustained and increased its work from the trade by offering competitive pricing and high standards of customer service, which has seen, at peak times, up to 20 MOT tests per day. It is also worth noting that a prospective owner would benefit from over £6,000 per annum rental income from a patch of land that is let for a mobile telephone antenna. We feel that this is an excellent base for a new owner to build upon, perhaps by proactive marketing to increase the retail aspect of the business, or extending the opening hours and introducing an extra MOT bay. Early discussions with Bag a Business are strongly recommended to appreciate the potential this business has to offer.
