Vehicle Repair And MOT Testing Centre In Hartlepool For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this busy vehicle repair and MoT testing centre, which was established in 1960 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1986. The garage is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 5 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £135,000 per annum with a gross profit of 62%. Ron Payne & Sons offers vehicle repairs, servicing, diagnostics and maintenance, along with MoT testing. Our client has gained an enviable reputation over 50 years of trading and was awarded with the BSI Kitemark, one of the most recognised symbols for quality and safety. The business boasts a large customer database, which generates approximately 120 customers per annum. There is a website in place advertising the business and services provided. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and boast a range of workshops and testing bays. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps extending the opening hours. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy garage with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
