Freehold Or Leasehold Body Shop For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales have been instructed to offer for sale this well established business with excellent further potential.

Established over 29 years ago by the vendor, it is now reluctantly offered for sale due to the vendor’s retirement plans.

A full range of bodyshop services are offered and the business is extremely highly equipped for purpose with a replacement value for bodyshop equipment alone in excess of £200,000.

The business benefits from high levels of repeat business, operating as the bodyshop facility for main franchised dealers of premium quality brands such as BMW, Mini and Land Rover with this accounting for approximately 60% of the current turnover.
The bodyshop is also an approved UKI insurance repairer and therefore has a high level of computerised systems to include E-MAX and AUDATEC estimating system.

The business benefits from an excellent local reputation due to its 29+ years of trading by the vendor and therefore does not currently advertise although the business currently runs at approximately 65-70% capacity.

The premises are well maintained with the main workshop purpose built by the vendor and also benefits from a 13 camera digital camera system.
